We did today a half day rafting trip with Panama Rafters. It was a really nice experience and the whole family enjoyed it a lot. At the end of the trip we even passed a small artificial waterfall. We always felt very safe, there was never any "dangerous" situation. The entire crew was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Safety was... More

My experience with Panama Rafters in Boquete was the worst experience I have ever had with a tour company, or any company for that matter. There were no issues for the beginning of the whitewater rafting trip, but towards the end, the rafting guide put us in a very reckless, stupid, and life-threatening situation. He led us over a hydrological... More

We were a group of 6 adults and 9 kids (4-11 years old). We set up the trip a few days before and wired the money to their bank account. We met the bus in David, and then we rode for 90 minutes to the drop off points. The guides were al very nice and friendly. While gearing up, the... More

Did the Chiquiri Rafting today, it was GREAT fun! Would recommend Panama Rafters to everyone who likes action and adventure but wishes to have a good guide who cares about everybodys safety. (We had a very good guide who had the rafting boat everytime under his control. The river is a TOUGH one at some points (grade III) so this... More

My family and I went white water rafting with panama rafters and to say we enjoyed it is a understatement. However even though the trip was amazing that is not why I decided to write this review. The service at Panama Rafters saved my trip from going into the ground. At the end of the day as we were travelling... More

The river is fantastic and the guides are really first rate. They ensure that everyone has a great time. Their knowledge of the river, the area and the wildlife was truly amazing. It was an incredible trip. More

The bus ride to the drop off point was a bit bumpy and the drop area was in a construction area...but its all about the adventure. The rafts were old but good quality. The guides were great and spoke english. My guide was a local and had been rafting the river for the last six years...keep in mind this is... More

Today we had the pleasure of experiencing a great rafting tour. We booked Panama Rafters without particular reason. They came accross well organised and professional. You want to avoid taking unnecessary risks with your family (Me, my wife, daughter 17 and son 14). In the morning we were picked up by quite an old van. Nevertheless the driver made a... More

We travel to Boquete several times a year and have rafted the Chirique Viejo with Panama rafters 3 times now. It has always been a great adventure and never the same twice. Kevin has always gone out of his way to assure that schedules are met, and that the trip is safe and enjoyable. The guides know the rive well... More

The Jaguar rafting trip is the longest they offer down the Rio Chiriqui Viejo. This company offers a longer route than competitors--we saw boats from another company drop off a few miles before our finish. We were picked up in Boquete by a Panama Rafters van. Our river guide, Freddy, had run the river hundreds of times, and knew how... More
