    Careful with this one

    Left us waiting in the hotel for 2 hours until I called and was told that they didn’t have anyone to transport us. I probably should have been suspicious with them having so few reviews and I’m thinking that they will likely attempt to hide this one by maybe changing their name, but thankfully Viator will refund me, so the only thing lost is a day in an already short trip to Panama and our record of ziplining whenever we travel somewhere new :(

    Response from the operator: Sorry, we were unable to fulfill your trip due to logistics problems onsite. We proceeded refund same day. We strive to Fulfill all our tours. Sorry for the big inconvenience. Regards, Ben

    Don't leave Panama without booking this!

    AMAZING! Our tour guides were absolutely wonderful. They made us feel safe while in the jungle for the first time and really went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. The ziplining was such a thrill — soaring over the treetops with breathtaking views all around us was something I’ll never forget. The guides were patient, encouraging, and explained everything clearly so even beginners felt confident. Safety was always a priority, which made it easy to relax and just enjoy the ride. The horseback riding was just as special. The horses were well cared for, gentle, and perfect for riders of all levels. Riding through the jungle and along the trails gave us a whole new perspective of the landscape, and it was such a peaceful way to connect with nature after the adrenaline rush of ziplining. Everything was well organized, from pickup to the activities themselves, and the guides’ warmth and humor really made the day. A few members of our group were late, yet the driver contacted us and chose to wait for everyone. I can’t recommend this tour enough — it’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and it left us with memories we’ll cherish forever.

    Adventure to Colon great view non city

    5 star plus! Book immediately when in Panama. Plan for 5 hours to destination, activity and return. We had an amazing time with our driver and guides. We chose 6 zip lines in area, some of water and horseback riding to end the tour. We were met with hot homemade food. Driver was ready and we departed Colon which is very rich in culture. Absolutely would do this again and highly recommend. Take cash to tip and if no Spanish get app to translate. 😊🙌🏾🇵🇦

    Zip lining and horseback riding

    The transportation there takes an hour but it was so worth it. Me and my sister had the whole experience to ourselves. The food was good and the customer service was also great. There is 6 lines for the zip lining and the horse back riding is from the last line back to the entrance you came in at, so about 30 mins. Would definitely do it again. The guys were excellent helping us.

    So to start, the trip was...

    So to start, the trip was great. We got a demonstration, were fitted with our equipment and were on our way to the practice line. Perfect starter. Then we went on the next 5 lines, including two over the lake. Then we chose the kayaking as our other activity. It was a calm day, and very relaxing solo kayaking. Not super hard. Got to see some cool birds from our boats. Kayaking is about 25 minutes. Then we had some good lunch. It had a lot of food and the food was all good. They do have a vegetarian/vegan option. Then we were on our way back to our hotel!

    New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Panama City.

    How much does New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding cost?

    +

    Prices start at $199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Panama City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Panama City is not rushed.

    Is New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Panama City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Panama City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Panama City and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does New Panama Zip-Line over Gatun lake and Kayak or Horse riding start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Panama City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Panama City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Panama City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to a waterfall and Embera village with lunch included, Ocean to Ocean Combo: Canal Boat Safari, Agua Clara & Gatun Locks, Half day of Panama city and canal tour: shared and private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Panama City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Panama City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
