Panama City Visit an Indian town Embera and waterfall with lunch

Ines_B, May 2026

An amazing experience!

Such an amazing experience! Probably our favorite activity we did in Panama. The pick up and drop off was well organized, our driver Victor was a sweetheart and very funny. Phillipe, our guide was an amazing and joyful person to be around. It was great to see the Embera tribe and talk with them, the lunch was so good! Would recommend doing the waterfall after the visit, it’s worth it and beautiful. 100% recommend doing this tour if you’re in Panama.

Fabinne_A, May 2026

Must do when you go to Panama!

This was such a wholesome experience. We started off by taking a canoe to the point to kayak then we kayak to the waterfall then it was like a 20-30 minute hike to the waterfall. We spent some time there and went back to the village and ate and dance with the people it was really nice and very adventurous, brace yourself. It’s a lot of physical activity had a great time and our tour guide was so nice. 10/10 recommend especially if you love adventure.

Tiawanna_J, May 2026

Educational and Informative and Professional.

Very informative and professional. Our tour guide even sat with me when I couldn’t climb stairs at the canal due to my disability. He said we never leave family behind. He explained everything in English to me and even showed me the workings of the canal on his tablet. He didn’t have to do any of that but he did.

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Daniel_R, May 2026

Manolo Ruiz was an excellent guide he really knew his history and the animals backgrounds

You will be charged a hidden fee of 20 dollars to cross the Panama canal. I didn't like this because I pay with card I don't expect an extra fee. .it needs to be stated on your page. but the tour was great and Manolo is very good he brings the monkeys too you as best as he can and he lets you interact with them and feed them. How can we expect to tip when we are paying the 20 dollar crossing fee. I give the tour itself and guide 5 stars

All-inclusive 8-hour catamaran tour to Isla Taboga from Panama City

Travis_B, May 2026

This 8-hour catamaran tour to **Isla Taboga** was an incredible highlight of my time in **Panama City**.

The experience was seamless from start to finish, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure on the water. The "all-inclusive" nature of the trip made for a truly stress-free day. The crew was attentive and professional, ensuring everyone on board was comfortable while we took in the stunning views of the coastline and the island. It was exactly the kind of polished and culturally significant excursion I look for when traveling internationally. If you are looking for an upscale, classic day trip that captures the beautiful energy of Panama, this is it. I highly recommend booking early—it’s a popular choice for a reason!

Hardeek_P, Apr 2026

A fun day in the sun. Don't forget sunscreen!

Its definitely depends on the group but once the boat was in motion and drinks flowing, people opened up and it was a very social event. Had some interesting chats. I went on a weekday so the island was dead, which kinda make the 2 hours seem like too long but it was quite chill. The crew and bartenders were great and a lot of fun. I

All Inclusive Sunset Panama Bay Catamaran Tour From Panama City

Dana_G, Mar 2026

Beautiful Night on the Water

We had a great time on the cruise. The staff was nice and engaging. They ensured everyone left with a smile on their faces, even the passengers that arrived late and had to catch us from another boat! We danced, we relaxed, we drank, and we enjoyed the views! The only helpful tip I would offer is to bring socks/beach shoes. We had to take off our shoes upon boarding, which the team shared, however, we all thought we could put them back on once we had boarded. The floors of the boat are not the most comfortable. I hope you have a great time like we did!

The OG Crawl – Afro Vibes Nightlife Experience

Angela_T, Feb 2026

Wonderful time

This was an entire vibe and a great way to party safely! It was so fun the music was diff in all the clubs it was lit and fun. Now transparency the drinks ain’t it I had a total of 10 shots that night and was no where near faxed and I am not a drinker! I would advise just drink the free stuff don’t pay for liquor cake it’s watered down compared to the hotels but the tour guides were so much fun and kept accountability of everyone! It’s a must do even if solo
