My husband and I decided that our trip to Panama over the Christmas holidays would be about learning and experiencing the Canal, and embarking on a weeklong, fun-filled adventure that would push our boundaries and have us go beyond ourselves, and that is precisely what we got from the 9-day Explore the Best of Panama offered by Xplora L’alianXa. Xplora... More

My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Panama in early January. We don't like the "touristy tours", and would much rather go into the back country to see how a country really is. The Eco tour of the canal was just that. We visited Monkey Island and saw a lot of the howlers. We saw several crocodiles,... More

After growing tired of all-inclusive vacation packages and figuring a cruise wasn't a viable option for us...we decided on adventure/eco tourism for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children in their early 20's). We found Xplora Eco Adventures on the web and sent off a quick email. The response was immediate and our subsequent and almost daily email exchanges... More

We had a fantastic, very personal Eco Canal Tour with Briant on Jan 6, 2012. We had white faced monkeys on our boat, Briants lime trick was a site to behold. Also got close and personal with howler monkeys, a 2 yr old crocodile, toucans, leaf cutter ants, frogs, bats and sloths. Do not miss this or other adventures with... More

We... More

We spoke to Briant about aranging a last minute tour to Fort San Lorenzo. Although that did not work out he put us on to Xplora for transportation to an from the cruise ship in Colon. The driver arrived on time at the hotel and was early at the ship on the return to the airport. The vans were clean,... More

Very well organized,! Our guide, Luis, showed up on time and took us through a great day. He was also very helpful and friendly prior to the trip via email. I would highly recommended this tour company. More

I had originally wanted to go on the Cave Tour, but unfortunately I puttered around too long and by the time I wanted to book it, that day was already booked by a family who wanted to do the Panama Canal ecology tour. Since there are only 2 tour operators in this outfit, you do have to book as soon... More

I've taken several of Briant's tours with friends and family from abroad (Santa Fe, Bat Caves, Panama Canal, San Blas -more than once-) and have enjoyed all of them. Depending on the time you have and what you want to do, I'm sure Xplora Eco Adventures Panama has a tour for you. More
