Going through the Bayano Caves was an amazing experience. Our guide was delightful, he arrived on time, was very knowledgable, and even pulled over once so we could look at some monkeys in a tree. This tour stopped at a wonderful family cabin where we left some of our things while in the cave and have a wonderful fish lunch after. The cave itself was really interesting and beautiful, though nowhere is more beautiful than the canyon on the other side. Nobody else was signed up for the tour yesterday, so it ended up being a private tour for my husband and I, which was really nice. Note - this tour is not for everyone. It requires a fair bit of physical fitness and a little bravery. You need to be able to navigate over invisible rocks underwater, do a small amount of rock climbing, and you may have to swim a bit. It is worth it, but if you have any mobility issues at all, this likely isn't your best activity.

Incredibly disappointed and currently researching legal action in order to get refund. I’ve been trying to reach Karol Cardona or someone at the agency for a refund of tours and transport due to CV19 cancellations. There would have been 11 ladies and I traveling to Panama in April 2020. I’ve been to Panama multiple times, love it & wanted to share its beauty with friends. We are owed US$1,210 ($550 deposit towards tours & $660 for fully paid transports). We’ve been emailing and calling since March 2020 with no response or acknowledgment. We’ve even offered that the monies be paid back in increments recognizing that the business may have been adversely affected by the pandemic. Again, no response or acknowledgment. The troubling part is that other Panamanian companies were in constant communication with us and repaid our monies back in increments. We would not recommend this business based on unethical business practices and a major fail in customer service.

Captain Nano was very laid-back and willing to adjust the tour to our desires. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The meal was delicious and he is a very gracious host! Our driver, Daniel, was wonderful! We even managed to catch up with him later in the day and he told us about the local ruins, and even saw him on the drive back to Panama City. We knew if we needed help he was nearby (we drove ourselves to/from three marina)! They are a great company to work with!
