Boquete Bees

Panama's home of live, bio-active single variety honey. We also have a 200 sq meter butterfly house with over 30 local species of butterflies. Emerge yourself in the pollinators with a half day tour or else just swing buy for honey tastings and butterfly house (open 9-4), shop (open 9-4). We have a unique offering and we want to share it with people who like high quality honey, love nature and want to make a difference by supporting our small business. We are passionate about taste. We can offer honey tastings like no other. More varied than anywhere else in the world that we know of. We produce a vast range of different flavors of honey depending on the floral source. This is unique and only possible because of the enormous biodiversity in Western Panama around Volcan Baru. This small Isthmus has Atlantic and Pacific coasts, 11,000 ft mountains and just about every type of forest and grassland in between. Some of our honeys are rare, some we have in larger quantity. We are serious about health. Our honey and our honey bees are very healthy. We sell raw minimally filtered honey. More than that though, our honey is pure and pristine in ways that are not possible in most of the developed world: 1. Most of our honeys are from wild plants which have no chemical treatment and are utterly pristine 2. Our bees are healthy, we do not need to feed antibiotics or miticides We want to teach people to better understand how to care for our pollinators. We offer a tour on our honey farm in Boquete. We treasure all types of bees and keep on the farm a wide variety of forage for bees, different types of native bees to illustrate how bees and plants are meant to exist together. Our butterfly house is 200 sq meters and is full of fun and activity. Sure to delight all ages.

We were with a large group. The owner and her staff were organized, informative and entertaining. The tour was so personable. The guide was so willing to stop and answer questions. The honey tasting after the tour was eye opening, never thought there could be so many different flavors. This is a MUST see excursion.

Panama Canal

Operating since 1914 and considered one of the wonders of the world, this fifty-mile waterway transports ships by raising them from sea level to more than 85 feet via a series of gravity-powered locks.

Reviewed By royv647 - Traralgon, Australia

We went through the Panama Canal on the Norwegian Bliss and it was a great experience, marvellous to see this engineering marvel and learn more about it’s history. The early history is soo sad when thousands of workers died from Scarlet Fever when the French tried to build it many years ago but gave the idea away. It is a very slow process and takes all day to get through, once through the first lock the others are all the same so it may become boring for many. It is one of the worlds marvels so do it if you can but don’t expect too much excitement

Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)

Located at the southern entrance of the Panama Canal and stretching nearly three kilometers into the Pacific Ocean, this popular causeway features many tourist-related venues and activities including hotels, restaurants, and jogging and biking trails.

Reviewed By loridharland - Brandon, Canada

A must see when visiting Panama. The Amador is a great walk/bike or drive with amazing views of Panama City and ocean. Multiple restaurants, shops and breath taking vistas are all within reach and a treat for the senses. Rent a bike and cruise the Causeway, grab an ice cream cone and watch the ships sail by. What could be better?

Monkey Island

Located in Lake Gatun, this island gets its name for the white-faced monkeys that inhabit it.

Reviewed By O9772BOrobertc - Los Angeles, United States

We traveled with John from Panama Day Trips on their Lake Gatun Eco Tour. We began with a fresh morning on Lake Gatun motoring along next to giant container ships as they made their way across Panama. John was knowledgeable about the animals which were occupying the little man-made islands and it was a treat to see the Tamarin monkeys come out of the trees to have a look at us. Cynthia at Panama Day Trips office was so helpful in setting up our transportation. Truly a must see for a trip to Panama!

Casco Viejo

This charming old community’s churches, pedestrian walkways and historical plazas and palaces make it a must-see on any tour.

Reviewed By WarrenCWade - Belleville, Canada

They’re continuing to renew this old part and it is probably the most tourist packed part of PTY. Many good restaurants and bars, both ground level and rooftop for evening views especially, museums, squares with entertainment, churches, and local craftsman selling their wares. Highly recommended for a day of sightseeing/shopping local Gina wares (Mola), and food/drink.

A visit to the Miraflores Visitor Center is an experience not to be missed. Other than seeing the ships passing through the locks, and learn about the great engineering behind it, visitors can enjoy the video presentations and the visit to the fascinating Canal history museum.

We crossed the Gatun Locks on a cruise ship. Since there are 3 locks and the operations last for hours, you get plenty of time to experience all the maneuvers needed to bring the ships from the Atlantic Ocean up to Lake Gatun

Sendero Los Quetzales (The Quetzales Trail)

Trail is open

Reviewed By ChristianL3343

So this is definitely not a 'family' hike (ie - small children, older folks, or anyone not in good shape). That said, it is spectacular... the first portion of the hike is along a dirt road, down from the parking/pay area at the end of the road (Yellow building). It starts off with a downhill section, part of which is steep (white sandbags filling in ruts). Once you get towards end of this road, the trail truly begins off to the left. First part of the trail is pretty nice. Yes, it's rocky! If you have hiking shoes/boots with ankle support, those would be gerat. that said, I saw two people with flip-flops on yesterday?!? Minor creek crossing. basically a gradual climb. We saw two absolutely stunning colorful Quetzales and a three-warble Bell bird (also stunning, and loud!) A good turn around spot for those who dont want a big challenge is when you get to the "stairs". If you are feeling strong, and adventurous... do the stair climb and head up to the Rock look out. These are basically steep, stair-master climbs... there are two, with a little side-trek between them. There is a break area. The views once you get up to the Rock "Molino?" look out is fantastic. This is where we chilled out, had a picnic, and then turned around. This took us about 6 hours, going at a moderate pace. You could certainly do it faster. I would recommend this lovely jungle hike, in dry season (or not after any rain) for the sure-footed, and able-bodied. It's challenging but rewarding! Hope that review helps....
