Panama has so many incredible sites and attractions worth visiting—but we know not everyone fits neatly into a “one-size-fits-all” tour. Maybe your cruise schedule doesn’t match public tour times, maybe you’re stuck on a long layover at Tocumen Airport, or maybe you just prefer to skip the crowds and design your own adventure. Whatever the case, we’re here to make it happen.
We work with a team of passionate local guides (speaking a variety of languages) who can customize your private excursion around your timeframe, budget, and must-see list. Whether you’re after history, culture, nature, or just the perfect view of the Panama City skyline, we’ll craft the experience so you can love Panama as much as we do.
Customized Shore Excursions in Panama
Cruise ship schedules can be tricky—but your sightseeing doesn’t have to be. If the timing of our regular group tours doesn’t work for your port call, we’ll customize a private shore excursion in Panama just for you. Whether docking in Colón or Panama City, our guides can meet you right at the port.
You can choose from one of our existing itineraries, or tell us what’s on your Panama wish-list, and we’ll create a day that fits seamlessly with your cruise schedule. From iconic landmarks to off-the-beaten-path gems, it’s your call.
Panama City Layover Tours
Tocumen International Airport (PTY) is one of the busiest hubs in the Americas, which means there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself with a few extra hours between flights. Lucky you! With the airport less than an hour from downtown (traffic permitting, of course), if you have a layover of 5+ hours, you’ve got time to get out and explore.
Spend your layover discovering Panama City’s highlights—wander the charming colonial streets of Casco Viejo, explore the ruins of Panamá Viejo, marvel at ships transiting the Panama Canal at Miraflores Locks, or take in the sweeping skyline views from the Amador Causeway. We’ll work around your flight schedule to make sure you’re back at the airport in time, with great stories and photos to prove you made the most of your stopover.
Mix & Match Panama’s Top Attractions
Want a little bit of history, a touch of culture, and some scenic views all rolled into one? No problem. With our customized Panama excursions, you get to mix and match the sites and experiences that matter most to you. Big bucket-list attractions, hidden local favorites, or a little of both—the day is yours to design.
