Visited Panama for one day on a cruise from San Diego to Miami through the Panama Canal. I saw good reviews about Tao Travel and emailed asking for options for trips for just my wife and me. Brenda was able to offer several choices and we decided on a canal boat trip and tour of the locks. Lionel our personal guide was brilliant pointing out loads of stuff we would have missed. Boat trip through the canal was unbelievable and we saw crocodiles, so many different birds and 3 different species of monkeys! Would I book again-definitely would.+3

Hi Keith. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! ⭐️ We’re delighted we could help you make the most of your one day in Panama during your cruise.

We took two tours with Tao Travel 365 and both were amazing. First was the Monkey & Sloth tour with Daniel. He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. The experience was fun, informative, and perfectly paced. We also did a San Blas Day Tour, which was absolutely unforgettable. Everything was well organised, the islands were stunning, and the whole day ran smoothly. Both tours were highlights of our trip to Panama, and we would gladly book with Tao Travel 365 again. Highly recommended.+1

Panama: Affeninsel Faultier-Schutzgebiet und Panamakanaltour Unvergessliche Tour – von Herzen zu empfehlen! Diese Tour war für uns etwas ganz Besonderes. Wir waren nur zu zweit mit unserem Guide Richard im Jeep unterwegs und konnten Panama auf eine unglaublich persönliche und intensive Weise erleben. Die Gespräche über das Land, den Panamakanal, die Tierwelt und das Leben vor Ort haben uns tief beeindruckt. Ein absolutes Highlight war neben der Fahrt durch den Panamakanal ein Faultier in freier Wildbahn zu sehen – ein echter Gänsehautmoment. Als krönenden Abschluss hat uns Richard ein panamaisches Restaurant empfohlen, das so großartig war, dass wir direkt ein zweites Mal hingegangen sind. Vielen Dank, lieber Richard! Wir empfehlen dich und Tao Travel von ganzem Herzen und uneingeschränkt weiter. Der vermeintlich höhere Preis ist jeden Cent wert.

Vielen Dank für Dein großartiges Feedback, Wolf! Es freut uns sehr, dass ihr die Tour als so persönlich und intensiv erlebt habt.

We had a great day touring Colon, Portobelo, Isla Mamey and Isla Grande... Our tour guide Mario was wonderful, speaks English, knows the areas and the people well. He was right on time for pick up, the car was spacious and comfortable. He had everything set up from the perfect picture spots to the boat ride to the lunch spot and the chairs on the beaches. Got us back to our hotel safe and sound before dark! Would definitely book with Tao Travel and Mario again... Itinerary and expectations were communicated promptly and clearly...highly recommend, well worth the value! Thank you for a great day on the water!+3

Kati FeichtingerDecember 29, 2025
Wir waren auf der San Blas Tour mit 1 Nacht auf der Insel. Die Kommunikation vorab war top, auch der Transfer hin. Am Hafen angekommen war es chaotisch. Wenn man nicht Spanisch spricht, ist man hier etwas verloren. Kaum jemand spricht englisch und hat uns Informationen gegeben. Der Aufenthalt selbst war super, kann ich nur empfehlen. Am zweiten Tag hatten wir eine Bootstour zu 2 weiteren Inseln dabei. Hier wurden wir mit einer anderen Travel Company zusammengewürfelt - unser Guide war nicht von Tao Travel aber sehr bemüht englisch zu übersetzen. Auch beim Rücktransfer nach Panama City war es chaotisch und niemand wusste so recht in welches Auto mit uns. Alles in allem eine Tour die ich empfehlen kann. Trotzdem wäre es gut, wenn man auch als englisch Sprechender Informationen bekäme.
Owner's reply
Hallo Kati. Vielen Dank für dein ehrliches Feedback und die 4 Sterne 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass dir der Aufenthalt auf den Inseln und die Tour insgesamt gefallen haben. Wie in unserem San-Blas-Disclaimer beschrieben, kann es am Hafen gerade in der Hochsaison mit dem aktuell sehr hohen Besucheraufkommen zunächst etwas chaotisch wirken. Am Ende ist jedoch alles organisiert und unter Kontrolle. Wir nehmen deinen Hinweis zur englischsprachigen Kommunikation sehr ernst und arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, diese weiter zu verbessern. Danke für deine Empfehlung und dein Verständnis und wir hoffen, dich wieder einmal in Panama begrüßen zu dürfen!![]()

Perfect Anton Valley Day Tour with an Incredible Guide Our day tour to El Valle de Antón with Tao Travel 365 was absolutely fantastic, and our guide Daniel made the experience even better. From the moment we met him, he was friendly, professional, and full of energy. You could tell right away that he genuinely loves what he does.El Valle itself is beautiful, so green, peaceful, and refreshing compared to the city. Daniel explained the history of the area, pointed out wildlife along the way, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the day. He was always checking in on us, making sure we had enough time for photos, walks, and exploring without ever feeling rushed.One of the things we appreciated most was how personal the tour felt. Daniel was great at answering questions and sharing local stories, which really brought the place to life. Everything was well organized, the transportation was smooth, and the whole day felt relaxed and fun.This tour ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Panama. If you’re considering an Anton Valley day trip, we highly recommend Tao Travel 365 and Daniel as your guide made it truly unforgettable.

MeganDecember 1, 2025Verified
Wonderful excursion! Highly recommend if looking for an off-grid, safe, relaxing experience among the locals. As a solo female traveler who speaks very little Spanish, I felt totally comfortable from the beginning. The drivers are very safe and efficient, the boat ride was quite calm, food was good and the accommodations are basic. Weather can be unpredictable but I enjoyed napping to the sound of the rain before it cleared up. Even saw some sea life I didn’t expect while it was raining! A nurse shark, sting rays, and eagle rays. Don’t expect luxury - and read the notes about the excursion before booking. It’s very basic, but well run. Recommend bringing snacks for the gap between lunch and dinner. Thank you Tao for a lovely experience!![]()

I'd highly recommend a trip with Tao. It was well-organized, the vehicle was spacious, the driver, Adrian, knew all the best spots and local lore.

I had a wonderful time on the Umbrerro/ waterfall tour. Our guide Ali Douglas was interesting and shared many facts throughout the tour starting in the van. He helped everyone on the hike and I understand over the rocks at the end of hike to the main waterfall. I am 74 and he helped me several times times but I did not go over the rocks because that would have been to difficult for me. He and the villager Lewis were incredibly kind. I would do it again if I'm ever back in Panama.+2

On 07/27/2025 my friends and I went on the best trip ever. We were picked up at our hotel and off to the rain forest we went. Our tour guide Ali was very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and very helpful with getting us in and out the van safely. When we arrived at the dock to get on our canoe he helped everyone one of us with our life vest and getting on safely. Now the walk to the waterfall was long and strenuous for some of us. Ali stayed close helping us up and over the rocks and thru the water. The fish at the village was so yummy too. I would definitely recommend anyone to use these guys and ask for Ali he’s the best. It’s a memory I will always remember.+6

We completed La India Dormidas Trail in the morning and later visited the Golden Frog Sanctuary (critically endangered specie), Butterfly Garden, and Nispero Zoo.

Sharon HJune 7, 2025Verified
Wonderful! Fabulous! We were met at our hotel by our Tour Guide Mario promptly as arranged. He gave us a great history review of various landmarks on route to our excursion too. Upon arrival to the river, we took a canoe and how beautiful the 20 minute journey in the powered canoe was to the creak. You feel so at one with nature. Be prepared to get your feet wet and wear aqua sandals - take your chances wearing anything else as you will walk across rocks and stones up to knee high. It's a 15 minute walk through little streams and up mini rock hills to get to the waterfall but once there....take a breath and take it all in. We did a private tour which was great and arrived just before the big groups. I can imagine that during peak season that it will be very busy. On the way back, we stopped at an Embera Village and was given a private history about the people, their land, their crafts. A simple lunch of fried talipia and plantain was served in leaves and was surprisingly delicious and comes from someone who's sceptical about where I eat. This was followed with fresh fruit and water and then a dance by the Embera people and then finally, the opportunity to spend some cash buying their crafts. A worthwhile trip! Thank you!
Owner's reply
Thank you for such a thoughtful and vivid review — we loved reading this!It sounds like you really embraced the full experience, from the peaceful canoe ride to the refreshing waterfall and the cultural visit with the Emberá community. Your tip about aqua sandals is spot-on — that short trek definitely feels more like an adventure when you're properly prepared.We’re glad you got to enjoy the quieter moments before the larger groups arrived, and even more so that the simple lunch won you over (we hear that from a lot of self-declared picky eaters!).Mario will be happy to know he made a positive impression — he really takes pride in sharing Panama’s natural and cultural beauty.

Tao was the only tour agency we could find that offered both the Gamboa aerial tram and Monkey Island boat experience in one booking. So glad we found them. Smooth communication (email and WhatsApp) and pickup/dropoff from our hotel in the city. Daniel our guide was excellent! The boat ride and Daniel spotting all the different wildlife and monkeys was the highlight of our time in Panama. Highly recommended, 5 star experience all around.

Tao Travel 365 is a very responsive travel agency. I booked a tour the night before, and they were able to confirm within minutes. Daniel, my Guide, reached out shortly to introduce himself, and then he picked me up from the hotel exactly at 6:30 AM. The group was small, which I prefer. Daniel is a very informative, energetic, and enthusiastic guide. He was on time, and a very safe driver. He even made recommendations on what to do and where to eat/drink in Panama City. At Monkey Island, were we spent most of our time, we saw more animals than I expected. Daniel had fruit with him to feed the monkeys, which I liked. I’ve read reviews where other Companies were handing out chips and other food that weren’t safe for animals. Afterwards, we went to the Sloth Sanctuary, where we also saw frogs, orchids, and butterflies. I would book with them again. You’re lucky if you get Daniel as a Guide.+10

Awesome excursion and great service!The driver/guide Oscar (I think that's his name) gave us lots on info and answered all our questions about the new expansion of the new locks Aqua Clara. It was a long drive but never boring because he embark to the conversation and talked about different things. He went to the Fort San Lorenzo and took our time to go around then to Aqua Locks. He waited for us very patiently. Then we went to have lunch downtown with him got to know a little bit of his background. I recommend this company.

Hi Lea, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear how much you enjoyed the excursion and that Oscar (yes that is his name right!) helped make the journey so engaging.

We’re also glad you got to enjoy lunch and connect with him on a more personal level—that’s what makes these experiences so special! Thank you for recommending us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. 😊![]()

It was a good tour... San Blas is beautiful and I'm so glad I had a restful first day on Asserya Island before the island hopping boat tour on the next day. It was a good decision to go with this tour package considering I only had booked the trip to Panama last minute. The communication with the agency was a bit of a struggle though at times - don't get me wrong, it wasn't the worst but definitely it could take days before they responded or you might just need to ask a couple of times. I think apart from the communication, it was overall wonderful & I met some great people on both the island and the boat tour too. It was also so special to see the Indigenous Kuna people taking care of the islands and in charge of these beautiful places... paradise! One of my highlights is to see glimpses into how the Kuna people live & the way they do community on the islands. I had Eric as the boat tour guide, he was good and clear in his communication and instructions. The tour also allowed you to explore the islands on your own too which was important for me ;) Thank you Tao Travel for an overall good trip! All the best+3
Owner's reply
Hi Grace, Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of San Blas and found your first day on Asserya Island to be a relaxing start before embarking on the boat tour.

It’s such a meaningful part of visiting San Blas, and we’re thrilled it was a highlight for you! We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Eric. We’re so glad he contributed to your positive experience. We sincerely apologize for the delays in communication you experienced.

The tour from Panama City to the San Blas Islands was a wonderful experience. Every aspect functioned smoothly - the transportation, the driver, the host at the islands, the lunch, everything. Emmanuel, the Tao Travel 365 representative I spoke with, was enormously helpful. He made the experience one of best I had in Panama and one of the best tours I have taken. He was so responsive, assisted in resolving a potential issue efficiently and quickly, and attentive to a certain need I had. I very highly recommend this tour and also Emmanuel if there are any questions.

Ali with Tao Travels gave me a phenomenal tour of Embera Village Tour. When we arrived at the Chagres National Park, for my canoe ride down the Chagres River, he ensured I was safe and happy. Also, after arriving in Embera Village, I was so happy to support the tribe, and I purchased quite a bit, from the families, and I totally forgot about the tribe entrance fee, so Ali was kind enough to take me to that ATM / bank, so I could get more cash, and he agreed to send the cash to the Embera Tribe. The Embera Village Tour was a once-in-a-lifetime National Geographic-type of tour and Ali was an exceptional guide. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 STARS)+9

We had an amazing experience with this company when booking a tour to San Blas. Their website is very informative and the booking process and payment went smoothly. Fast communication and on the date and time their driver was at our hotel. From then on everything went according to plan and there was always someone "taking care of us" and making sure all schedules were met. We did the 2 days/1 night tour and it was amazing to stay in the island after the daytrippers were gone and enjoy that special atmosphere (same for waking up there the next day). We did it with our 5 year old daughter and she loved it, everyone was really nice to her. Couldn't reccommend more!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with this tour group! We first did the monkey island tour with Aura (our tour guide). The tour was very well planned and so enjoyable. Aura was very knowledgeable and friendly and professional. We enjoyed our tour so much that we booked another tour to visit the Embera tribe and venture on the Chagres River. Aura was once again our guide and made the experience one to remember! She shared personal stories and spoke about life in Panamá. She even brought us to a local fruit stand and even helped us find medication we needed and brought us to 3 different pharmacies until we found what we needed. Above and beyond!! We would highly recommend a tour with this group, particularly Aura. Thank you!

Private Tour Was Worth It We booked directly through TAO for a private tour with Mario. Mario provided excellent information and answered our questions about Panamanian life. Our first stop was to visit the monkey islands on Lake Gatum. We did not see any monkeys on the first few islands, but we were successful. My son was able to feed them from his hands with bananas provided by Mario. The other boats visiting the islands had up to 20 guests who were only able to watch a guide feed the monkeys; our experience was so much better! Next, we visited the Agua Clara Locks, which were very interesting. Compared the the Miraflores, the Locks are relatively uncrowded. After stopping at the main visitor center, Mario took us to another stop to see the old bridge. Unfortunately, Fort San Lorenzo was closed for Good Friday, but Mario was able to take us to the mouth of the Chagres River so that we could still see the fort from a distance. We were hungry by mid-day, and he stopped to let us buy snacks. This was a fun day away from Panama City.![]()

Don't Miss Seeing the Caribbean We booked directly through TAO. Communication was efficient. We did not realize this would be a private tour. Our tour guide, Ana, was terrific. She's a proud Panamanian who loves to show off her beautiful country. She provided knowledgeable commentary throughout the tour. Her SUV was comfortable for four guests. Our first stop in Portobelo was limited as a movie was being filmed at one of the forts. The island stops were interesting. We brought snorkeling gear, although Isla Moray has a very shallow reef. Lunch on Isla Grande was good, but the pina coladas were excellent!![]()

Panama is one of Central America’s most diverse destinations, combining tropical islands, rainforests, wildlife, indigenous cultures and one of the world’s greatest engineering landmarks. At Tao Travel 365, we offer carefully selected Panama tours designed to take you beyond the typical tourist experience.
Discover the Caribbean paradise of the San Blas Islands, where hundreds of tropical islands are surrounded by turquoise water and white-sand beaches. Our San Blas tours range from day trips from Panama City to multi-day island adventures, giving travelers the opportunity to experience this extraordinary region and learn about the culture of the indigenous Guna people.
From Panama City, you can explore the world-famous Panama Canal, encounter monkeys and tropical wildlife around Gatun Lake, visit historic forts on the Caribbean coast, or experience the traditions of an Embera community deep within Panama’s rainforest.
For travelers looking for a more personal experience, our private tours in Panama offer greater flexibility and the opportunity to explore at your own pace. Adventures range from Panama City and the Panama Canal to Portobelo, San Lorenzo, El Valle de Anton, the Pearl Islands, Darien and other remarkable destinations throughout the country.
