Storybook beginnings in the city

Panama City

Day 1: Arrival in Panama City
Arrive in Panama and transfer to Casco Viejo, Panama City’s historic quarter. Settle into Las Clementinas, a boutique hotel with leafy courtyards and spacious family suites. Kids can explore the garden paths while parents sip coffee beneath the arches.

Day 2: Streets Full of Stories
Wander Casco’s cobblestone lanes on a private walking tour where plazas, churches, and pirate legends bring history to life. In the afternoon, relax at the hotel or browse artisan shops nearby. End the day with games in the courtyard or a golden-hour stroll.

Day 3: Where the River Meets the Forest
Travel by boat into the heart of the rainforest to visit an Emberá village. Learn how to weave baskets, hear ancestral music, and decorate with jagua paint. Return to the city with painted hands and full hearts.

Island rhythms & coastal stillness

Bocas del Toro

Day 4: Arrival in the Islands
Fly to Panama’s Caribbean coast and continue by boat to Bird Island Bungalows, an eco-lodge nestled between jungle and sea. Spend your afternoon searching for sloths, strolling the beach, or relaxing with the sounds of the waves.

Day 5: A Day Cast Away
Board your private boat for a full day exploring the remote Zapatilla Cays. Swim in turquoise waters, snorkel coral shallows, and savor a beachside picnic where footprints are few and far between.

Day 6: Color, Flavor, and Island Life
Morning is yours to relax or play—paddle calm waters, build sandcastles, or swing in a hammock. In the afternoon, head to Bocas Town, where markets brim with bright crafts, tropical fruits, and the rhythm of Caribbean life.

Day 7: Reefs & Rainbows Beneath the Surface
Dive into a final day of marine wonder. Snorkel Crawl Cay’s coral gardens, watch dolphins leap at Dolphin Bay, and comb the shores of Starfish Beach. Your last sunset fades over calm waters, warm and golden.

Day 8: Departure
After breakfast, return by air to Panama City for your onward flight. From jungle rivers to island reefs, your family adventure ends with stories told in color, laughter, and salt-kissed memories.
