We enjoyed every part of this tour! The zip line was the perfect ending to a fantastic day. Juan was a perfect guide and so were the guides at each location. Compadre is the BEST driver!

Panama highlights

Jeny our guide was awesome and Brian our driver was great. The city tour was quick as we were all super hot! A better bathroom stop with more than one bano would be better. Also can the tickets for the IMAX be bought ahead of time so once we are there the group can be seated together? The admission price can be added to the tour price .

Just a squeeze of Limon!

Juan Carlo our guide taught us about the province of Limon. We went to the rainforest on the canals and saw many birds, sloths, monkeys and even a crocodile!!!! Then we went to a botanical garden of sorts and learned about the fertile soil and all the exotic and not so exotic plants (aka bananas)that grow there. We tried the fruit, got to shop and the highlight was a nice empanada and a Costa Rican beer!(not included) Then a stop at one of the few sandy beaches in Limon, Playa Bonita! We recommend this tour as safe and great way to learn and experience the area!
