An adventure back in time! - What a breath taking adventure! The canoe ride took us back to how people travel along the water's way to visit their various family and come on the main land to shop. The village people were so inviting and taught us a history lesson about their community. The men assist our seniors like their own grandparents 🙏🏾🤗. Thank you everyone for making this excursion a memorable one. 🥰

A Day in Embera - The Embera Village tour was truly a one of a kind experience. Our tour guide Diener was very compassionate and involved. We learned the history of Embera, hiked and swam under the waterfall. 10/10 highly recommended if you are looking for a unique local experience.

Lovely Introduction to Beautiful Pananma - We enjoyed every minute of this experience! Our guide, Didier was knowledgeable and friendly. The people of Embera were welcoming and we so appreciate them sharing their culture with us. The trek to the waterfall was fun and our guides helped us when we struggled. Bring water shoes! A lovely introduction to beautiful Panama.

Wonderful experience - We had such a wonderful time with our guide on this trip! It was a once in a lifetime experience and our guide made it even more special. We will be talking about the waterfall and the tribe for years to come! I would HIGHLY suggest Dramamine for the car ride to and from the forest if you tend to get motion sickness, but it’s totally worth it in the end. My family and I had a wonderful time!

Lovely people, beautiful setting, delicious food - The Emberá people are very warm & welcoming, and their village environment is simply beautiful. The food they prepared was delicious as was the abundance of fresh fruit of all different varieties. And, our guide (Diener) was a wonderful host! The Emberá also create & sell beautiful hand-crafted bowls, jewelry & carvings so make sure to take extra cash because credit cards don’t work out in the jungle (I regret not taking more so we could’ve brought home some of their gorgeous products).

Unable to communicate, signed up for English, there was NONE - Signed up for the English tour. No tour guide, only a driver that spoke no English. Took over two hours before left Panama City because the 3 pickups (9 guests) were SOOO far from each other. We should have had separate van pickups. No time management, spent 45 minutes at the public bathroom and there the only our van! No guidance for suggested time at the stops. So late to the last stop at Embera Village, didn't have time to tour it and it was the main attraction. Again, no English spoken there. Then panic to get back to the cruise on time. Ended up paying to cell service to get online translation service. On a positive note, the sites were awesome, didn't learn about them but they looked good. Very disappointed! Refund?
