Great Time! - We had an amazing time! I truly appreciate their hospitality and kindness. We had a lot of laughs and the places we went were amazing!! We got to swim in the ocean near an island and then the second stop was at a beach on the other side of the ocean. The food was good, but most of all the crew was awesome!

Nice chill vibe! - The crew was pretty cool, the views were great! We enjoyed our time on this excursion. This review is a week after our trip so I’m forgetting names. But we had a brief history lesson about the island and a fun Q&A time. Lunch was not bad at all. The water was amazing and much needed as it was a very hot day. We felt safe and in good hands during the entire time.

Excellent way to see Tabogo Island. - The crew about our ship was awesome! The Manga is a beautiful boat, with space to spread out and the number of people was not too many. We met and chatted with people from all over which was fun. The music was always lively and the lunch…. So good! There was no rush to anything that day. We swam, toured the island and got amazing views of the city and tankers waiting to get into the canal.
The captain and crew were super nice and friendly. They danced and told jokes and kept everyone in good spirits.

Taboga Island tour - When we first arrived, we were very confused because there were no indicators to determine where we were supposed to be going. There were a ton of army men standing around and none of them spoke any English. Eventually we found one of the host. The catamaran was so much fun. The hosts were fun, the food they served was pretty good and the drinks were non stop. When we got to Taboga Island, there was a lot of trash in the water so we did not want to get in but we were able to swim at the first stop and the water was beautiful there. We rented ATVs when we arrived and rode to the top of the island and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. We got to see the entire island from up there. I would recommend anyone to rent the ATVs and be sure to rent them for an hour.

Fun - The trip was fun. The crew was attentive and friendly. Must bring some snacks because they on feed you lunch. Taboga island wasn’t something for me. Lots of run down shanty’s and stray dogs in the beach. We returned to the boat and just relaxed like we set to when booking this trip.
