- alexistO7571AH0 contributionsYou won’t regret it ❤️Amazing!!! Between the service the views and the land it was such a great experience. The people were so kind and informative about the lands that we zip-line overWritten March 6, 2023
- evasN1343HP0 contributionsBEST TOUR EVER! (A definite)Such a fun, pretty, exciting and AMAZING tour you have to try it it was great. I went on the tour with my mom and sister, but from when our tour guid picked us up I could already tell it was going to be amazing. Our tour guide Ben was so nice and it was a great plus that we were able to converse with him effortlessly on any topic. I had a really fun time zip lining and after riding horses AND we got to name our horses. We even got to see two sloths! We had a delicious home made lunch. Everyone involved with our experience from the guys running the zip line to Panamanian mama who prepared our lunch we’re very gracious and kind I DEFINITELY recommend doing the tour with Ben. Gracias!!Written July 2, 2021
- Y5578GLfrankm0 contributionsNever ever againThe worst tour guide we even tried to use. Wasting time and creates disappointments. It is not ok to offer a tour when the guide knows they are not able to do the trip because everything is closed because of COVID. Please, just don`t offer the trip until you guys are able to fulfill your job for the money your customers have already paid. We would have waited at the pickup point, 10 km away from the place where we live. Luckywise we tried to contact the guide to change the pickup place, that's when he told us we should cancel the trip. If we wouldn´t have contacted him, who knows we still might wait on the agreed pick-up place :-(. Never ever again! FrankWritten April 27, 2021

- Trip4296930 contributionsGreat lay over tourBenjamin was very cheerful and made our short trip enjoyable. He was flexible given the short time we had and was very accommodating with our 4 year old who insisted we stop and play at the park in 100 degree weather. We saw the sites, ate some food and LOVED the canal, all in about 7 hours!Written January 6, 2020

We stayed at the Dreams Playa Bonitia Resort. This was a family holiday with our 2 1/2 year old grandaughter and our family.
The Resort was great, staff were first class.
The food and variety was excellent. Weather was hot and humid. Resort was maintained very well.
We would return to this Resort again.

This tour was amazing! The tour guide, Ben, from Vita Venturas tours (booked through Viator), was so knowledgeable and accommodating. He was early to pick me up, he made the trip feel very special, he was always there to explain things to me, he stopped to allow me to take photographs and even stopped for dessert on the way home. The Emberá tribe were the nicest people you will meet, their community spirit was second to none, they were so kind and opened their homes and their lives to us. Everything about this trip was beautiful! Your sense of colour and touch and taste will all be heightened in this trip. Enjoy! Thanks Ben for an amazing experience!

I went to this tour through Vitaventuras , and it was absolutely amazing. Not only I was able to learn more about this little community in Panama, but the guide Benjamin was very knowledgeable, fun and took my pictures, which made it more easier to enjoy the whole experience. If you are truly interested in knowing more about Panama culture, I fully recommend this tour.
