LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS PANAMA

Panama is famous for its hats and its canal. The first may be useful on the beaches and islands, the second is a highlight on any tailor-made holiday to this fascinating country.

The Panama Canal is as interesting to sail as it is historic. Cruise any distance along it and you’ll find yourself wondering how such a narrow ribbon of water sparked a revolution and gave birth to a country. The answer, of course, is that it cut 8,000 miles off the sea journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and saved sailing around the notorious Cape Horn.

But there is much more to the Panama Peninsula than the canal. Talk to Sara Willis, one of our expert consultants, and she’ll tailor you a holiday that could well include watching mating humpback whales, and bottle-nosed and spotted dolphin playing in the Pacific. Or seeing turtles on the wonderful beaches of La Marinera and Isla Cana. Or spotting fabulous birds in the Sovereignty National or Friendship International parks.

You could even take a cable car ride through the rainforest to views the birds and wildlife of Gamboa.

Sara can also tell you about the Kuna Indians of the San Blas Islands, the nightlife of Colon and when to visit to experience the spectacle of Mardi Gras.

WHY CHOOSE US

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”

From our very first phone call, 91�� provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
