My friend and I had the occasion to take a tour with Jampan. We started with Dolphin Bay and ended with Red Frog Beach. Being squeamish of boat tours, I am thrilled to report that it was beyond my expectations. The distances we traveled were broken up into manageable chunks, and the snorkeling was the best I have experienced. Our... More

We had a privately guided, full day boat trip. Visited the dolphins in Dolphin Bay and snorkeling at Coral Cay. We had a fabulous lunch. We ended up at Red Frog beach. It was a leisurely day and we did not feel rushed. Our guide was English speaking. Would have liked more time at Red Frog, but by then, was... More

My wife and I took the all day tour which cost $25 a head. We left the dock shortly after 9:30 am and pulled back in after 5pm. In between we first headed to Dolphin Bay, after some searching we did locate a small group of dolphins (anyone who has taken any sort true wildlife tour knows sightings can not... More

My friend and I booked a boat/snorkel tour with Jampan to see Zapatillas and Crawl Cay. Our group was small--just one other couple--which made it almost like a private tour. Our captain, Sebastian, was awesome! He was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He took us out to an area to see dolphins, then to another area to see sloths. We then... More

Some people said zapatilla is awesome. Hmmm...i think those people never took any snokle tour in any part of world. Zapatilla has no fish, no coral or underwater drop off. I dont understand why they charge 10 dollar at arrival in zapatilla. Panamanians should clean their islands and beaches first before they charge ridiculous amount of entry fees to tourist.... More

Chuck was very helpful, very friendly ,and our tour guide Moses was awesome. Folks should know that if you don't want to pay $18 US for an average battered fish and rice/beans lunch, bring your own...there is no pressure to buy the lunch at the one lunch stop, but if you don't bring a lunch, that is your only option....

This tour owner is trustworthy and has good value in his tours. Other tour companies were annoying and constantly pressured us to use their tour company, but unwilling to give a better deal then the "other guy". We did one tour with Jampan and it was a rainy and cloudy day but were still able to see dolvins, sting rays,... More

I just came back from the boat trip to Red Frog beach. Before boarding the boat, I said, ¨can I ask a dumb question? Is Red Frog beach a swimming beach *NOT* a surf beach? The guy at the front desk showed me a brochure and it looked like fairly calm water (maybe sometimes it is). I explained that I´m... More

Jampan Tours have great tours to offer. Our family went on two. They do have the best boats. Our guide was an English speaking local with great knowledgable. Just keep asking questions to expand the knowledge he has to offer. We visited another Lodge out on the island of Bastimentos and their tours were double. More

I went on the snorkeling day trip with Jampan and had a great time. For $28 it was great value. Went to Dolphin cove to watch the dolphins playing, then off to a couple of real nice snorkeling spots, lunch at a restaurant on the water (price not included) and then off to Red Frog Beach. We had a very... More
