I've never seen so many bats; it was amazing! The hike was easy and Luis takes photos along the way for great memories. Lunch was BBQ chicken in a local restaurant which easy could have been served at a 5 star restaurant. Thanks Luis for a wonderful day, kids loved it!
Thank you very much. It was a pleasure. I also enjoy the trip. It is always great, to see how the visitors enjoy the adventure. It was a real pleasure to serve you.
Awesome, shocking, beautiful!!! It's a sensational ride. It is key to wear change clothes and leave them in the car. Super recommended
Muchas gracias. Fue un placer atenderles y nos alegra mucho, que lo disfrutaran. Siempre para servirles. Saludos.
They picked us up on time and all the trip went smooth as explained by the guide. The cave is awesome and the guide took his time to explain each spot of the cave. We spent a little more than 3 hours inside the cave, it was amazing. It's worth it to have a waterproof camera or to bring your phone in a waterproof case because the pictures you can take are amazing!
It is great to know, that you enjoid the tour. Was a plesure serve you. Thank you very much for gived us the opportunity to guided you on this adventure. Greetings Luis Ivan
I visited Bayano caves with a couple of friends, we asked fairly last minute and were lucky another group was already going so we were able to join them. Luis picked us up in Panama City and drove us to Lake Bayano, where we got in a boat and headed to the caves, which is a beautiful ride in of itself. The caves are amazing, there are parts where it is dark and you see bats, and other areas where it opens up to canyons and the light coming through along with the green vegetation along the canyon walls are just spectacular. Luis provided helmets with lights, walking sticks (which were super helpful!) and life jackets and did a great job of briefing us on what to do and also explaining a lot of information about the area and the caves both before and during the tour. Before and after the tour we stopped a nearby restaurant to have breakfast and lunch. It was a long day but a wonderful day! It was a well organized tour and Luis speaks both Spanish and English and he did a great job of making sure we were well informed and safe (and took lots of photos for us, thanks!)
O it is great to know that you and your friends enjoid the tour. For us was a plesure guided you on that trour and we hope that you enjoy much more of the Panama paradise. Greetings and thank you very much for give us the opportunitie to serve you.
We really enjoyed this tour with Luis. The cave was beautiful! It was a little scary walking into a dark cave but we got used to it almost immediately. We were rewarded by really beautiful vistas and structures. Even the kids were very excited. One of the best tours we have done. Luis was a treasure of knowledge about the area and was happy to answer all our questions. The lunch after the tour was delicious as well! Highly recommended...
Thank you. We are here to serve you and it was a real pleasure to accompany you. We are happy to know that you and your family enjoyed this natural wonder of Panama. Thank you very much.
Panama Outdoors _ quick response to inquiries made before the ride, excellent price, good transportation, an experienced guide and good sense of humor. There were several teams for the safety of the participants - yes, Las Cuevas del Lago Bayano is a nice walk, back and forth - refreshing and let you know the natural beauty of these caves - recommended!
Qué bueno que disfrutaron del viaje. Para nosotros fue un placer entenderle y estamos siempre a sus órdenes.
I had heard that there were caves in Bayano, but no one told me that going there would be one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve ever had on a single trip. It is a mixture of the beauty of my country with the archaeological treasure hidden in the caves, shaped by thousands of years. We appreciate the flora, fauna and biological and cultural diversity that we display. Bringing guides like Luis is indispensable because he knows all the scenarios we can encounter, which allows to enjoy the experience to the fullest. If you have the opportunity you should not go!
Qué bueno es leer lo mucho que disfruto del tour. Para nosotros fue igualmente gratificante atenderle. Estamos siempre a sus órdenes. Saludos.
We took this trip at the end of the dry season, so the water was a little lower - only chest height! - but prepare to get soaked on this trip. The cave is not super difficult - it’s more of a crevasse - but the walking can be a little treacherous because it’s so rocky. But there are tons of bats, which we thought was pretty cool, and some interesting cave geology. Highly recommend wearing quick drying clothes do you don’t have to change after the trip. It’s pretty chilly water, so shorts or a bathing suit are not a great choice on their own. Sturdy shoes with a real sole also a must.
Thank you very much for your comments, it was a real pleasure to assist you and we hope you enjoyed the experience. Greetings.
Excellent fun trip. Insurance and Very good food. First class care with protective equipment
