Panama rewards a short trip. In one week you'll go from a capital of old plazas and glassy towers to rainforest waterways, the canal that links two oceans, and a Caribbean archipelago where the pace drops right down.
You'll travel with a small group and your Soca Islands Host, with transfers and the day-to-day plan organized for you, so you can enjoy Panama rather than plan it.

Itinéraire du groupe
After you land, a pre-arranged transfer brings you to your hotel in the center of Panama City.
Settle in, then meet your Soca Islands Host and your fellow travelers for welcome drinks and a first round of introductions.
Dinner is at a lively local restaurant, a good first taste of Panamanian cooking and a chance to toast the week ahead.
Your morning walk is led by community members who talk openly about change and resilience in their own lives. It's an honest, personal way to understand this part of the city, its past and how it is changing.
Next, local experts introduce you to traditional rhythms and music in a session where everyone joins in.
The afternoon is free in the historic quarter, with colorful streets, handsome old buildings and cafés to linger in.
Take to the water on a scenic cruise through channels lined with tropical rainforest, watching for native wildlife as you go.
Then head to the Panama Canal to watch enormous ships pass through, and get a sense of why this route matters so much to world trade.
Back in the city, the rest of the day is yours to explore or rest.
A short morning flight takes you to a Caribbean archipelago with an easygoing, colorful waterfront and beaches backed by green forest.
Once you've checked in, there's nothing on the schedule. Explore the streets, try some fresh local food, or just slow down to island speed.
Today you head inland to spend time with one of Panama's largest Indigenous communities and hear about their traditions and daily life.
At a local organic cocoa farm, you'll follow chocolate from harvest to traditional preparation, then sit down to a home-cooked meal made with local ingredients.
Spend the day on the water with a local boat operator, cruising between islands and watching for marine life.
Stop to snorkel over reefs and relax on small islands with soft sand and clear, turquoise water.
In the evening, the group's farewell dinner brings together local and Caribbean flavors.
A mid-morning flight takes you back to Panama City, leaving a little time to explore before heading home if your schedule allows.
From the domestic airport, you'll transfer to Tocumen International for your flight out.

FAQ du voyage
Fly in & out of Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City.
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.
While we’re not medical professionals, we want to help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure. Here are some tips:
- Consult with a healthcare professional: Schedule an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure to get any necessary vaccines or medications.
- Up-to-date medical advice:
- US residents: Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
- UK residents: Visit the NHS Fit For Travel website.
- Australian residents: Refer to the Smart Traveler Health website.
3. Government travel advice:

4. Medication tips: If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last the entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays. Carry a copy of your prescription in case you need to visit a clinic abroad.
We hope this helps you prepare for a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
