Panama group tours for solo travellers
Travel solo as part of a group tour to Panama
Why travel solo to Panama?
Panama is Central America in high definition. Think cosmopolitan cityscapes, emerald jungle, Caribbean calm and Indigenous culture – all packed into one endlessly fascinating country.
In Panama, you’ll cruise the famous canal alongside towering ships, kayak through glowing bioluminescent waters, and meet rescued sloths in their jungle sanctuary. You’ll sip Geisha coffee in a bohemian café, cook with women from the Ngäbe community, and explore the wild natural beauty of the Bocas del Toro islands. Whether it’s rooftop cocktails in the capital or starlit swims in the Caribbean, this is a trip that balances adventure with ease.
For solo travellers looking to experience depth, culture and off-the-radar charm, Panama is the perfect place to start.
Top places to visit in Panama
Panama City
Sleek, modern and full of surprises, the capital is a heady mix of historic streets, rooftop bars and global flavour. Explore the UNESCO-listed Casco Viejo district, sip world-famous Geisha coffee, and cruise the legendary Panama Canal to Monkey Island.
Bocas del Toro
An island paradise where pastel Caribbean houses meet rainforest-fringed beaches. This laidback archipelago is perfect for kayaking, snorkelling, dolphin-spotting and sinking into slow, easy island life.
Ngäbe Buglé Region
Connect with Panama’s Indigenous roots during a day spent learning traditional crafts, farming techniques and cooking with local women. It’s a rare and meaningful cultural exchange set in the lush heart of the country.
Gamboa Rainforest
Just outside the capital, this biodiverse wonderland is home to sloths, monkeys and vibrant butterflies. Glide through hidden waterways and explore the rainforest that pulses with life at every turn.
