Trip Descriptions
Budget Trip
Budget trips are structured for the budget-minded traveler. Budget trips offer the same paddling opportunities and generally the same amenities as our other trips, with the exceptions of lodging in Panama City and in-country transportation from Panama City to David. You arrange your accommodations and transportation from Panama City, and we meet you either at the bus station or the small airport in David (about ½ hour from Boquete). Getting here is easy if you’re comfortable making the transportation and lodging arrangements on your own. Your trip will begin when you arrive in David (generally Sunday morning), and from that moment until we deposit you back in David the following Saturday afternoon, we take care of everything. Once you get to David, your trip cost includes all lodging, transportation, meals, guides & boats, plus seven days of stellar paddling. For a more detailed breakdown of trip cost and inclusions, see trip pricing.
All-Inclusive Trips
If you’d like to avoid making in-country accommodation and transportation arrangements, then by all means, let us do it for you! Your All-Inclusive trip begins when you arrive at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City. We will meet you at the airport when you arrive on Saturday, and from that moment on, we will take care of everything until we deposit you back at Tocumen International Airport the following Sunday. Your trip cost includes all lodging, all in-country transportation, meals, guides & boats, plus seven days of stellar paddling. For a more detailed breakdown of trip cost and inclusions, see trip pricing.
Custom Trips
Our whitewater kayaking trips generally offer 7 days of paddling, with folks arriving on Saturday evening and departing the following Sunday morning. But we can customize a trip of any length and we can include intensive kayak instruction at your group’s skill level for up to 8 people. We can also provide a tempting variety of additional activities for non-paddlers or for folks who just want to take a break, as well as multi-day intensive instructional trips for the beginner. All multi-day trip costs include lodging, transportation, meals, guides and boats! We do not prepare custom trip pricing in advance because costs vary depending on the level of pampering that your group desires (i.e. nice hotel versus standard hotel versus hostel). However, you can take a look at some of our sample itineraries and the pricing posted for our budget and all-inclusive trips to get a general idea of what your trip might cost. Just contact us to help you plan and price a trip customized uniquely for your group!
