    A good fishing trip.

    This outfit isn’t cheap, but that also meant they looked after me well. I was picked up by the guide at the hotel on time and taken to the canal where boat and captain were waiting. The young guide was enthusiastic and helpful, saw plenty...More

    Epic Day

    Rich, Jorge and Elio made our day magical. We asked for the moon and they delivered the universe. Feeding the monkeys for me, stellar peacock bass for my husband and finished with a passionate tour of the canal. This is the way to do Panama.
