Family Vacations

Luckily, Panama has many great features which keep disruption to a minimum and as the experts on the ground here in Panama, we’ll ensure your trip is fuss-free.

For years, Panama has been an international crossroads and is an obvious choice for many expats to relocate. This has contributed to a very familiar U.S. style infrastructure with an international ambiance. 

English is spoken as a second language throughout the country, the U.S. dollar is Panama’s currency, and the supermarkets and local shops are packed full of a mixture of local and international products. Most restaurants offer a variety of local and international cuisines and WiFi and cell phone service are also available in even the most remote of locations.

Combine this with direct flights and short flight times from most places in America and Panama is an obvious choice for a family vacation that ticks all the boxes.

Fun for all the Family

Panama’s location as the isthmus of the continents means there’s an unparalleled level of diversity. s it’s a relatively small country, just a tiny amount of traveling can take you to vastly different landscapes and experiences. This makes Panama an ideal destination to pack in lots of different environments and excursions, keeping everyone happy!

If you’re looking for fun and adventure there are several family activities, from zip lining to whale watching. Hit the mountains and rainforests for some up-close and personal wildlife experiences, whitewater rafting, waterfalls, canopy adventures, views of volcanoes, and jungle hikes.

If the beach is more your style, Panama has both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Caribbean islands nestled in blue seas, world-class surf breaks, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and more await.

And make sure to explore the history and culture! Panama is known as something of a melting pot, combining the indigenous cultures with a rich history of settlements, trade, and international commerce right up to the present day. Of course, a trip to Panama would not be complete without a visit to the iconic Panama Canal. 

Packed full of great, family-focused accommodations and tours from coast to coast and with short connection times, Panama is truly a family-friendly destination. On-site childcare, never-ending kids activities, and comfortable family suites are all key features in our hand-picked accommodations.
