“This tour was top of the line. Very professional, extremely productive birding, wonderfully fun. The guides must be the best in Central America. Travel, accommodations, communication, all top-notch. As good as it gets.”

“I initially was lukewarm about signing up for this tour as I had been to Costa Rica, Belize and Guatemala - thought it might just be more of the same. However, Panama really held my interest! A great variety of tropical birds and wildlife; cultural expanse from modern Panama City to rural Torti; the Gamboa Rainforest Resort is fantastic; and watching the Panama Canal in operation is not to be missed.”

“This trip to Panama was amazing! We stayed in a variety of places and got to see a good variety of bird and mammal habitat. I loved seeing so many beautiful birds and appreciated the guides ability to teach us about local mammals and plants as we walked to the next bird. I also loved staying so close to the Canal at Gamboa and getting to experience the engineering marvel that it is.”
