Chandrakant· December 3rd, 2024We enjoyed the tour very much. Our Intrepid lead and guide Abdiel Abby Aizpurua did a great job with the tour. Very helpful. Explained various excursions well in detail and provided lot of information about the places we visited. Abby took care of few emergencies we faced very promptly and maintained safe environment for all members of the tour. Great tour and we will highly recommend to others.Show more

Show moreTrip date: November 2024- DEDarren· August 26th, 2024I travelled with Jonathan on the Costa Rica and Panama discovery trip with Intrepid in August 24. I really enjoyed the trip and the destinations we visited. It was a great mix of wildlife, rainforest, beach areas and city life for us to experience different cultures. Some of my highlights included Boca Del Toros and the boat trips and being able to spend time relaxing on lovely beaches and enjoy warm seas. The local cooking experience and stop in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca was also great fun.I also enjoyed the visit to the Panama Canal which was really interesting. Jonathan was super organised and helpful to the whole group, was happy to be flexible and change daily itineraries to give us more (or less ) time at places depending on what the group wanted and could not have done more to help the group have an awesome experience. Thank you Jonathan for looking after us and helping us all have such a great time 👍🏻 definitely a 10/10 from me and highly recommend the tour to others wanting a taste of Central America!Show more
Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Darren, thank you so much for your lovely review and photos! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable trip with Jonathan as your leader, and it truly sounds like you had a wonderful time experiencing the amazing wildlife, culture and scenery... Show moreTrip date: August 2024 - KBKatrin· May 13th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishAll in all, a great experience. Unfortunately, the information provided by Tourradar does not match the actual itinerary and the information provided by Intrepid. The 2nd to last destination was completely omitted. However, the information that 12 nights are included is particularly unfavorable. I had already discussed this discrepancy with Tourradar before the trip. And I was confirmed that it was 12 nights. But in fact it is only 11 nights :-( So please, dear Tourradar team. Adjust this incorrect information in your itinerary immediately.Show moreTrip date: April 2024
Ricou· April 9th, 2024The pros: The guide, Jonnathan, was very knowledgeable and flexible so we all could do any activity. Jonna was very nice and very easy to work with. The cons: This tour should be fully guided, not partially guided so the whole group stays together. I have never seen a group so divided, Partially guided tours create cliques. Also, days should start earlier than 8:50am. Starting the day at 8:50am means that travelers often arrive to their destination tool late to do any activity - it's just a waste of time.Show more

Raymond· December 14th, 2022The leader strove to contend with unexpected conditions such as altering travel due road closures etc. adequately. This trip is "bare bones." Virtually all excursions and meals are additional. Lodging was frequently noisy (eg: party hostels) and quite basic. Expect long travel days (5-9 hr) in basic public transport. The trip requires a degree of fitness to traverse gaps such as climbing aboard boats; walking over rough terrain and carrying one's own luggage several hundred meters and up and down stairs. If you are incapable of that, this isn't your trip. Moving as a group requires timeliness but when travel is via public modes of transport, it is essential.Show moreTrip date: November 2022- KCKerry-Ann· July 16th, 2022I had made several inquiries regarding a single room and the location of the hotel that I should go on my day of arrival. I received this information two days prior to departure after not only calling , but sending emails. I ended up paying more for my single room accommodation because I was told it was TOO LATE ! This is my grievance with the booking and communication.Show more

Asked on August 21st, 2025I am interested in the Costa Rica and Panama Tour. I would like to know if I can skip Chitré and travel straight from Boquete to Panama City, as I have to be there for a graduation on the 19th of December
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025You can sign an opt-out letter on the ground and leave the tour in Chitré if you wish. Please note that transportation from Chitré back to Panama City would need to be arranged independently, and there would be no reduction in the trip price for the unused days.
