I went out with this group a couple of times, and would DEFINITELY choose them over the other outfitters in Boquete. I really TRUST Jim and the guides. I have five years of paddling experience, and was SURPRISED when I read the only poor review on TripAdvisor in which someone's face hit a rock. I was on that trip and... More

My wife and I took our second trip with these guys in January 2012. This time a whitewater rafting trip. It was a great time!!! The river was absolutely perfect for this type of trip...enough whitewater to be fun, not so much as to be over-the-top scary. Excellent guides who really knew the river very well and added a LOT...

My family of five took a whitewater rafting trip with outdoor adventures and it was fantastic. They provided us with a great andmemorable experience. The guides were great and made us feel very safe and comfortable while teaching us how to raft. The guidies also interacted great with our kids and made their day really special. From the safety briefing... More

I recently went rafting with Boquete Outdoor Adventures. First, let me say that I had a great time - the guides are a lot of fun and really good at what they do. Then why am I giving BOA one star? An accident on the trip revealed that Jim, the BOA owner, is either too ignorant or too irresponsible to... More

We went with Jim on the half day waterfall hike outside of Boquete. The hike was a little harder than we anticipated, but worth every bit of it. We went to 2 waterfalls, both of which were beautiful. It's a pretty steep hike, and the trails were muddy, so where shoes that you don't mind getting a little mud on.... More

The only reason BOA didn't get 5 stars is because of the experience we had when we returned where they overcharged our credit card (but later fixed the charge when we complained). The white water rafting day tour we did with them was AMAZING! One of my favorite tours of the trip! They drove us for about 2 hours to... More

I went on the whitewater rafting trip with BOA and had a great time. Jim who runs the show is a great guy, ensures safety and ensures a fun time. Jorge was our guide for the rafting trip and made the trip worth every penny. His knowledge of the river and his ability to maneuver the raft were extremely impressive.... More

Our agent Panama Trails made an excellent decision when they booked Our hike with BOA! We were accompanied by Jim , the owner. He is highly experienced, well informed and personable. The hike on the pipeline trail was perfect. We saw the gorgeous quetzal and reached a waterfall at the end. You will be very happy with this company. More

Great way to take a hike on private land with a guide. Took the Waterfall hike and the guide was an immense help since many parts of the path were overly muddy. They changed the start time the day before from 8 to 8:30 and when we showed up at 8:20 the office was closed - but our guide and... More
