Discover Panama City: A Modern Metropolis with Historic Charm

Panama City, the nation's capital, is a fascinating juxtaposition of the old and new. The city's skyline boasts towering skyscrapers, yet at its heart lies Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through its quaint cobblestone streets where colonial architecture tells tales of bygone eras. Engaging in Panama private tours here allows you to delve deeper into the local history, with expert guides sharing insights into Panama's significant colonial past.

Don't miss the Panama Canal, an engineering marvel that transforms journeys across oceans. Witnessing ships glide smoothly through its locks is an unforgettable experience. Private experiences in Panama often include exclusive access to certain canal areas, offering a unique perspective on this iconic waterway.

Cultural Encounters and Local Experiences

Panama is a tapestry of cultures, each contributing to the nation's vibrant identity. From indigenous Emberá villages to the Afro-Antillean influences in Colón, the country is rich in cultural diversity. Many Panama travel packages incorporate authentic cultural experiences, such as traditional dance performances or culinary tours where you can savour local delicacies like ceviche and rondon.

Art enthusiasts will delight in Panama’s burgeoning creative scene. The Biomuseo, designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, is a colourful homage to Panama's natural history and biodiversity. Meanwhile, galleries across the city showcase local talent, from vibrant folk art to contemporary installations.

Natural Wonders: From Rainforests to Beaches

For nature lovers, Panama is a paradise. Its lush rainforests are teeming with wildlife, including capuchin monkeys and exotic birds. Guided hikes through the renowned Parque Nacional Soberanía offer the chance to see these creatures up close while learning about the importance of conservation efforts.

The country's coastline is equally alluring. On the Pacific side, the Pearl Islands boast pristine beaches and clear waters perfect for snorkelling and diving. Over in Bocas del Toro, laid-back vibes reign supreme, with ample opportunities for kayaking, surfing, or simply unwinding by the sea.

Adventures Off the Beaten Path

While Panama City and its surrounds are popular spots, venturing off the beaten path unveils hidden gems. The Azuero Peninsula is known for its traditional festivals and artisanal crafts, offering a glimpse into Panama’s cultural heritage away from the usual tourist trails. Meanwhile, the volcanic highlands of Boquete promise outdoor adventures including zip-lining, white-water rafting, and birdwatching amidst the cloud forests.

Tailored Panama travel packages can effortlessly combine city liveliness with remote escapades, ensuring you experience the best of what the country has to offer without the hassle of planning every detail.

Plan Your Perfect Private Tour

Choosing to explore Panama through private tours not only allows for a more personalized experience but also ensures you travel at your own pace. Whether you wish to indulge in luxury accommodations, engage with locals in immersive experiences, or embark on eco-friendly tours, private experiences in Panama cater to your specific interests and needs.

The country's extensive travel infrastructure supports a wide range of Panama travel packages, ideal for solo adventurers, romantic getaways, or family vacations. Whatever your travel style, Panama promises an adventure that resonates with your spirit, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.

So, why wait? Embark on a journey to explore Panama’s myriad of wonders, each as enchanting as the last. Whether it’s the thrill of discovery or the allure of relaxation, Panama is ready to welcome you with open arms.

Many assume Panama is just about the canal. In reality, it’s also a paradise for beaches, highlands, and indigenous culture — from Caribbean islands like the San Blas to the coffee region of Boquete.

Globetrotters should ensure they visit Isla Coiba, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once a penal colony, today it’s one of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the Americas, often compared to the Galápagos for its marine biodiversity.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
