At Panama Day Trips, we are proud to be part of a vibrant community of local tour guides and operators who work hard to create authentic, high-quality, and imaginative experiences that showcase the wonders of Panama. From the Panama Canal to our rich jungles, wildlife, and historic sites, there are so many incredible tours led by passionate professionals who truly care about this beautiful country.

Unfortunately, we’ve seen a growing trend that threatens to take advantage of travelers: a wave of local and international agencies offering cheap, watered-down copies of successful tours. These operators often copy names, itineraries, and descriptions without delivering the care, quality, or respect that travelers — and Panama — deserve.

Our Ocean to Ocean Panama Canal and Jungle Tour is a perfect example. We’ve been running this tour for over 14 years, and it was once honored as TripAdvisor’s #1 tour in Central America. Now, some copycat tours use the exact same name to confuse visitors and offer a stripped-down version that skips key experiences, leaves out entrance fees, and even harms wildlife.

The Difference Between Creative Tours and Copycat Operations

We admire the many tour companies — both large and small — that work hard to design original and meaningful experiences for visitors. These are the operators who help travelers fall in love with Panama.

What concerns us is the growing number of agencies who take the easy route: they copy successful tours and sell a cheaper, watered-down version without the same quality, knowledge, or respect for the land, wildlife, and culture.

Some red flags of these copycats include:
⚠ Using the same name as trusted tours to mislead you
⚠ Offering low prices by not including entrance fees or key stops
⚠ Feeding monkeys or encouraging harmful wildlife encounters
⚠ Failing to provide licensed guides, insurance, or proper safety measures
