We offer two accommodation options to suit your travel style and comfort needs:

1. Single Occupancy Rooms: If you treasure privacy, are a light sleeper, or have specific sleep-related preferences, this is the ideal choice for you. Our single rooms provide a tranquil, personal environment, typically featuring a queen or king-size bed. This option is particularly recommended for those who may be sensitive to noises like snoring, or who prefer not to be disturbed. 

2. Double Occupancy Rooms: This budget-friendly option allows travelers to share a room with another trip participant. We always aim for rooms with two twin or queen beds. However, due to varying global hotel standards, we cannot guarantee the availability of two separate beds in every location. There is a possibility of needing to share a bed. We emphasize that if you have concerns about sharing sleeping space, particularly if you are a light sleeper or have specific needs or sensitivities, it's advisable to choose a single room or upgrade your booking promptly. This ensures we can accommodate your request for an additional room, as we are unable to make changes to rooming arrangements during the trip.

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable journey, please select your accommodation type based on your personal comfort requirements and sleeping habits. Our aim is to provide a memorable and hassle-free travel experience for all our guests!

While this 6-day trip to Panama offers rich experiences designed to delight a wide range of travelers, it may not align with the preferences or expectations of everyone. Understanding this can help ensure that your travel experience meets your desires and comfort level. This trip might not be for you if:

Budget Travelers: Those seeking a budget or backpacking experience may find that the luxury accommodations and curated experiences offered on this trip exceed their travel budget. The focus on premium services and exclusive access is designed for those looking to indulge in a higher level of comfort and exclusivity.

Extreme Adventure Seekers:While the trip includes elements of adventure and cultural immersion, it may not satisfy those looking for high-adrenaline activities or extreme sports. The pace and nature of the experiences are more relaxed and culturally focused, rather than pushing the limits of physical endurance or thrill-seeking.

Solo Wanderers Preferring Complete Autonomy: Travelers who prefer to explore entirely on their own terms, making spontaneous decisions without a set itinerary, may find the structured nature of this trip limiting. While there is some free time built in, the core experiences are pre-arranged to ensure a seamless and comprehensive exploration of Panama.

Those Seeking Remote Wilderness Experiences: If your primary interest lies in escaping to remote, untouched wilderness areas for the majority of your trip, the urban and cultural focus of this itinerary, with only partial exposure to Panama’s natural landscapes, might not fully meet your expectations.

Minimalists and Eco-Conscious Travelers: Individuals who prioritize minimalistic travel or are highly focused on eco-sustainability might find the luxury and indulgence offered by this trip to be at odds with their travel philosophy, even though efforts are made to incorporate cultural sensitivity and environmental awareness.

This trip is crafted to offer a blend of luxury, culture, history, and moderate adventure, suited for those looking to explore Panama in comfort and style. If your travel preferences lean towards other types of experiences, there are countless other adventures out there that may better suit your taste and goals.

If the points above resonate with you, it might be worth considering other travel opportunities that better match your travel style and preferences.

The Importance of Tipping  

In Countries like this, tipping is more than just a gesture of appreciation; it's a crucial support to the local economy and a meaningful way to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of those who help make our trip memorable. The service staff, from drivers to restaurant servers, often go above and beyond to ensure we have an exceptional experience.  Many locals depend on tourism for their livelihood, tips can significantly impact their well-being and ability to support their families.  

Understanding this, we have established a collective tipping system to ensure fair and generous compensation for the services we receive. On the first day of our trip, we will collect a total of USD $200 from each participant. This amount is carefully calculated to cover all tipping needs throughout the week, including drivers, baggage handlers, , guides, and restaurant servers/staff etc .  

This approach has several benefits:

1. Fair Distribution: It ensures that all service providers are fairly and adequately compensated for their efforts.    

2. Convenience for Travelers: You won't have to worry about carrying change or figuring out the appropriate amount to tip for different services.    

3. Solidarity and Support: It reflects our group's solidarity and support for the local community, recognizing the importance of their contributions to our travel experience.

By pooling our tips in this manner, we not only simplify the process for our guests but also make a meaningful contribution to the local economy.
