More relaxed activities, such as coffee plantation tours and bird-watching, also are available here. To reach Chiriquí, you’ll likely pass through David, Panama’s third-largest city. If you choose to visit the Gulf of Chiriquí, you’ll find first-rate scuba diving, snorkeling, and other water sports that take full advantage of its marine location.

It was awesome. Great way to see Boquete. The owner/operator is a cool guy from Boston. Gave lots of good info about the area and ex-pat life there in general. The bikes were easy to operate and Boquete is quite "hilly" so the extra boost was much needed and appreciated. If you go during rainy season, expect to get wet! We got soaked, and it actually made the experience more fun and memorable honestly. Thoroughly enjoyed it and strongly encourage anyone visiting Boquete to take this tour.

This tour is hands-on, so you get to experience all of the steps to making that perfect coffee. The tour is flexible enough that you get to spend more or less time in the areas that most interest you. (The hands-on picking and processing is only available during our harvest times and when we have fruit on the trees to pick.)

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea

What a unique and personalized experience for the entire family. From my 8 year old, teenagers , to adults the hands on tour was very unique and kept us entertained for over three hours. The owners provided in depth “farming” of the cherry to brew. We had no idea what it takes to drink your favorite cup of joe! I would not only encourage but I would go out of your way to visit the Casanga Farm. Five stars all the way.

Went on a 3 hour coffee tour ($30) to Finca Dos Jefes with pick up and drop off at Boquete Outdoor Adventures. Pesticide free specialty coffee plantation that pays decent wages to its workers. See coffee cherries and drying beds. Taste medium versus dark roast and cascara tea. In depth explanation of the coffee growing process and of farm-to-cup. Amy is fluent in English and super engaging, entertaining, and informative. I’ve been on other coffee tours before and this one was the best. Can buy bags of coffee beans to take home at the end (cash only). Boquete outdoor adventures charges 7% surcharge for credit card bookings.
