Day Tours Panama

Isaac was our tour guide and he was kind, knowledgeable, and funny. We had a large van which was very comfortable. We learned a lot about the country and all our questions were answered. Before coming to Panama we were in consistent communication via email with Esther. I spoke to a staff member via WhatsApp and asked questions about carnival time in Panama which was helpful. I would recommend this tour group to anyone and felt that it was financially a good option considering we did our own itinerary with what we like and was private and intimate. Thank you all good job!

XPLORA TOURS are AMAZING!!!  - Our Bayano Cave tour was INCREDIBLE! Alex, our guide and who I felt became our friend, and with a second personal guide Manuel, who shared his land and culture with... Read more... us, were AMAZING!!! From bats to stalagmites and a gorgeous swim at a natural pool at the end, this tour is definitely for those who want a piece of culture and an incredible experience that you will forever remember! Alex is a learned and educated biologist and his knowledge among birds, animals and the cave and basically everything is humbling and beyond respectable. We felt very lucky to have him be our guide. He knows the cave like his own home and made sure each and every way that it was safe for us during the trek. We have two adventurous children ages 6 and 9 and although we had to swim and climb at parts that were challenging and invigorating; Alex and Manuel were amazing at helping them and us have the most fabulous and extreme adventure! We saw howler monkeys on the way and then other howler monkeys happened to be above the cave as well! The lunch was fresh Tilapia cooked local style with plantains that was cooked by Manuel’s wife and the Tilapia was caught by Manuel. We felt very special to be a guest on Manuel’s porch to see a glimpse into his special life. There is a boat ride, there and back and again, which added to our amazing experience. We also took the train ride back, which the kids loved. This was a unique and local experience where we got to see more of Panama with Alex. Alex was such an incredible and learned guide. We felt safe and very very lucky to have him! Esther was very helpful in organizing this tour as well as we had to change the dates last minute and we very much appreciated her flexibility and Alex’s flexibility. We wish we were staying in Panama longer and would have been able to take more tours with Xplora Panama Tours! We can’t say enough how wonderful this experience truly was. Thank you Xplora Panama Tours and a warm thank you to Alex!

Amazing Waterfall Hike  - We did the waterfall hike and it was superb. Don't take the description too lightly - it is not a walk in the park!! However, the guides (Alex and Alex!)...

It was very easy to arrange everything via email before we went to Panama, the communication with her was prompt and efficient, and everything just went to plan. This is the sort of professional tour company you want handling your activities in Panama.

Exceptional Waterfalls Hike  - Briant was our guide and he was phenomenal. We toured the waterfalls and were hosted for lunch by the most wonderful organic farming family. I am a 66 year old... Read more... overweight woman and while I do NOT recommend this hike for people with physical limitations or the faint of heart it was an experience I will always treasure. Briant was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. When we got to the first waterfall and were able to swim in the pool it was the most reinvigorating experience. Did I learn to push my limits? Yes. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY!
My family of niece, nephew and 3 children loved every minute and negotiated the trail much more easily than me.

Fun and educational tour  - We had a fantastic time on the Panama Canal Wildlife tour. Briant was an engaging, knowledgeable guide and took time to point out all the different types of birds and...
