Good to know
Is the tour really private?
Yes. Every departure booked on this site is private. Just your group, the guide and the vehicle.
What languages does the guide speak?
English, Spanish and Mandarin.
What happens if it rains?
Tours run year-round. Panama rain is usually short and falls in the afternoon, so we shift the order of the stops rather than cancel.
How far in advance should I book?
Same-day is often possible, but weekends and cruise days fill up. Send us your dates and we confirm availability, usually the same day.
Can you pick me up at the airport?
Yes, for an extra cost. Send us your flight details when you book.
How do I pay?
We confirm your date first, then send payment details. No charge until your date is confirmed.
