Unfortunately, I did not actually go on the Volcan Baru Jeep trip scheduled because a member of our group had a death in the family, and we cancelled the trip five days ahead. I just received notice that, despite this early cancellation, there would be no refund. I do think five days notice is more than enough time to warrant a full refund, or, at the least, a booking fee charge deducted and then a refund from the $100+ pre-paid reservation. I certainly will not book again with them for anything! Accordiing to an email that I received today, cancellatioin must be more than seven days ahead. I notified them on March 12 for a March 17 reservation. Today is March 19. I had to write them twice in order to get a response. I do not recommend a company that is so unresponsive with their clients, especially considering the circumstances that made cancellation necessary.

This was a great way to experience the forest. Jaimie was very knowledgeable and extraordinarily adept at spotting creatures for us to see. He brought equipment so that we could see birds and sloths from afar end even take photos of them through the lens. Nice introduction to Boquete. He also took photos and uploaded them to a website so that we could just focus on what we were seeing.

We did three tours with Boquete Outdoor Adventures. The employees were thoroughly professional and well informed. Jaime was our guide on the Pipeline Trail and to the Lost Waterfalls. The man has a wealth of information about the flora and fauna of the region, along with the ability to walk on a trail while looking in the treetops without falling down. My significant other and I agreed that we wouldn't have seen a tenth of what there was to observe without Jaime there to locate and point out wildlife and plants. Pipeline Trail: Easy. Wildlife. Old-growth trees. Very busy. Lost Waterfalls: Moderate. Lots of stairs. Some steep climbs. Muddy. Moderately busy. Three waterfalls. Our third tour was the Island Tour, which took us to a national park in the Gulf of Chiriquí. Ed was our guide that day. We enjoyed the boat ride with Ed pointing out sights along the way, including howler monkeys. Then there was swimming, snorkeling, and paddle boarding from a beach, as well as a lunch featuring, among other things, an array of delicious fresh fruits. A guide can make or break your tour. Jaime and Ed did an awesome job.

Our guide Jaime is clearly in love with nature, the area of Boquete, and his role as an ambassador of nature. And it shows from his enthusiastic description of the locations, plants and animals. We did not get to see a quetzal in a close-up view, but one was flying overhead. From the lucky days when Jaime captured even more beautiful views than presented themselves to us today, he saved them on his phone and makes them available for download. Very nice experience! In addition to Jaime, the other staff in the Boquete Outdoors Adventures office is also very nice, for example Lily.

A great, relaxing excursion. A 20 minute boat ride with Eduardo to a sandy beach with adjacent reef. Snorkel, hang out in a hammock or take a swim. Fantastic lunch. We snorkeled and saw pufferfish, a tiger snake eel and a sea turtle, along with an array of beautiful, colorful fish.

The guide did a good job of pointing out interesting things and it was good exercise. It seemed a bit slow day for the wildlife, but none of that is ever guaranteed, and not the fault of the guide.

Great experience! We learned a lot of the biodiversity and saw things we would definately have missed if we were without a guide. The guide was super enthusiastic and could answer all our questions. Would recommend if you want to do a hike at a different way then just walk the trail :)

Great tour. Our guide Ed did a great job, he explained very much about the cloud forest and the ecosystem. We also saw lots of birds and even a sloth. The hiking isn’t hard so it’s highly recommended to do this tour if you’re interested in nature. Thanks for a great day!

The guide was really interesting and friendly. We enjoyed the hike in this beautiful area and will be back again. If yo like nature, take this hike.

We did the 4x4 Volcan Baru sunrise tour. It was beautiful. The ride is bumpy as everyone says. We are used to 4x4, country driving, and Pink Jeep. This was far bumpier than anything we had experienced. Not bad. Very technical. David was our driver and we felt safe the entire time. One of us is scared of heights and hates driving up mountains. This is tress and rock on both sides. Felt a lot safer than hanging off the side of a Colorado or Nevada mountain going 50mph. David drove slow, explained things as we went up, had a great playlist, and has good English. At the top it was raining and cloudy at first. David gave us jackets, gloves, and blankets. We walked to the top, then down for breakfast, then all chose to go back to the top once the clouds cleared after breakfast. David made us a breakfast of pastry, cheese, strawberries, corn cake, candy, and hot chocolate and coffee. Pick the hot chocolate with marshmallows. David had great playlists of classic rock on the way up and chill music on the way down. Best part of the day was the way David helped people. We saw workers walking up. David stopped to carry their bags up. We saw tired hikers at the top. David rearranged the truck to fit them in on the way down. His pure, loving heart showed and was as beautiful as the view at the top. Thanks for a great day.

The MOST amazing part of our trip to Boquete! From the moment we got into the van, to the narrated drive, boat trip to the island and our 4 hour island stay the memories just kept on being made! Our guide was excellent and he and the boat captain worked hard and found whales AND dolphins! Guide also set up a beautiful lunch, had all the gear (noodles, paddle board etc) pointed out the wildlife, and overall just made sure we all had the best of times! Highly recommend this trip!!!!

It was an amazing hike on the Pipeline Trail in Boquete with my fiancé and another couple, and I can’t recommend it enough! Even though it rained a bit, our guide kept the experience lively and engaging. He shared the names of trees, plants, and birds, making the whole forest come alive with fascinating stories. The lush greenery and the sound of the rain created such a magical atmosphere. Every turn brought new sights and surprises, from vibrant flowers to the incredible variety of wildlife. It felt like we were walking through a real-life postcard! If you’re in Boquete, definitely put the Pipeline Trail on your list! It's an unforgettable way to connect with nature.

The tour guide was exceptional! Beautiful hike, great workout! I also did a coffee ☕ tour with this company and that was excellent too!

Great hike with Ivan!! Totally recommend this tour. Easy hike along the pipeline trail. Ivan was very knowledgeable and certainly enthusiastic!! We spotted a quetzal, butterflies lizards many birds flowers caterpillars beetles Ivan pointed out dozens of interesting things we never would have seen without him.

Ed was our guide and provided us a thoroughly delightful day of whale watching, beach relaxing, snorkeling and tropical lunch. He is a true professional and always provided us details on what we were seeing and explained the whale activities and got us some awesome closeup photos! We highly recommend him and his company. The entire day was well organized, energetically presented and fun from start to finish.
