What are the Best Zipline and Canopy Tours in Panama?

Panama has several Zipline and Canopy tour options throughout the country. There are four popular places to do this activity, which are: Boquete, Anton Valley, Gatun Lake and Gamboa. In these places you can experience different types of environments while you slide, from the temperate climate of the highlands in Boquete to the humidity of the jungle in Gamboa.

There are several operators that offer Zipline and Canopy tours in these places. Here, I am going to share a tour in each place, which in the end, are the best zip line and Canopy tours in Panama and are available to book at Tiqy.com.

Boquete is internationally known for its natural beauty and temperate climate. This makes the 12-line Canopy tour an unforgettable experience. The tour begins at the operator's offices in Plaza los Establos in Bajo Boquete. You will be taken to the park where the 12 cables with a length of 4.5 kilometers are located. The tour lasts approximately 4 hours and while you glide in the air you can admire the wonderful landscape of La Amistad International Park and the slopes of the famous Baru Volcano.

If you are in Boquete, you should only have to go directly to Plaza Los Establos, which is a 5-minute walk from the Domingo Medica Park in Bajo Boquete. From David, it is approximately 45 minutes, you can go by bus or in your car. Finally, if you go from Panama City it is a 7-hour trip by car or an 8-hour trip if you go by a bus called "Panama - David".

Gatun Lake is a fundamental asset for the operation of the Panama Canal and if you are looking for a little of the Canal experience while you slide down the cables over the Gatun Lake, this Zipline tour over the Gatun Lake is for you. Consists of sliding down 5 lines with a length of 2.5 km. You will always have a bilingual guide that will accompany you during the activity, to make sure you enjoy this full experience and also will explain to you a little about the history of the Panama Canal.

The tour includes pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Panama City. If you want to take the Zipline tour over the Gatun Lake without transportation, you must go on your own to the operator's offices that are 1 hour from Panama City. To get to the tour operator offices, it is recommended to take a taxi or Uber to take you directly. The taxi will cost approximately 25 USD, but if you have your own vehicle or you rented it, you can use the navigation applications such as Google Maps or Waze to get there.
