In 2011, a tour operator that is a family friend brought my family to Panama Outdoor Advenutres (POA). We liked it so much that this year (2012) we returned--with a larger group and added the lunch option and the river floating. The drive to the facility is lovely. It is easy to find. We took the Autopista from the Pacific... More

Whether its relaxing, thrill seeking, or in the mood for some authentic Panamanian hospitality, this spot is it. Zip lining through the stunning canopy of trees was by far the most beautiful aspect of my trip to Panama. The air was so fresh, tr breeze was refreshing, and the guides were helpful and ensures that everyone was safe and was... More

All in all, it was a very nice experience. We did the zip line & then the river tubing. It was December 31st so it was pretty much us and another family. The guides were really really great! Very friendly & open, and they actually know their way around & are very professional (I must say I was surprised about... More

Interesting to see the different perceptions regarding value and cost of experience. I'm glad to hear that you truly enjoyed the experience, that's really where the value is found. On the other hand, the review immediately before yours is from a person that paid full price and said that it was a great value as well. Ultimately, we are most... More

We just did the zip lining and had a great time. They were so nice and accomodationg. They spoke english and spanish and were very good with my young children. The price fo 9 zips is amazing. They even moved our car so there was very little walking. Would do it again in a minute. More

Great experience! I had gone with friends previously and I was excited to take my grandchildren, 9 and 7. The staff is very professional and caring. They made us all feel comfortable, took lots of pictures for us, and they made sure each of us had an experience that suited them! The guides took the children on their laps, all... More

Just got finished a part day out at the site. The only regret is we didn't have more time. Josh was a great host and the crew were fantastic. We did the zip-line and it is the best one I have been on! There is one platform at the midway point that is absolutely amazing, you actually are on top... More

A true roller coaster experience in that you feel exhilirated and scared while feeling completely secure. This place has got it figured out. You really feel like you're world's away from the every day. NO traffic noise to ruin the experience!! I ziplined, I rode horses, I did the lazy river thing, I slept on a hammock and just listened...

I went with a group of 10 friends to do the zip line and the river tubing for a day. We had an awesome time. The staff was professional and tried to accomodate every request. We were shy at the beginning in the zip lines, but we went wild at the end. Later in the day we had a local... More

I tested my fear of heights with zip-lining, but when you have an amazing crew to make you feel comfortable and safe I held nothing back. It was the most thrilling and adventurous thing I've done. I felt like I was on Amazing Race! From zip-lining to river tubing to horseback riding my day was nothing but exhilarating! It was... More
