Why John Acosta Stands Out

1. Deep Knowledge and Passion for Panama

John has spent years exploring Panama’s ecosystems, history, and culture — and it shows. His knowledge runs deep, from the complex workings of the Panama Canal to the behaviors of wildlife in the rainforest. He has a unique ability to connect global travelers with the soul of Panama.

2. A Veteran of Meaningful, Eco-Friendly Tours

John has led thousands of travelers through some of Panama’s most iconic and remote destinations. His tours are never cookie-cutter — he tailors every experience to the group and creates a connection that goes beyond facts and scenery.

3. Ocean to Ocean Tour: His Signature Experience

The Ocean to Ocean Panama Canal and Jungle Tour is a full-day adventure that highlights Panama’s natural and historical treasures — and John leads it with unmatched expertise.

Your day will include:

• Travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts in one day
• A boat ride through Gatun Lake and remote jungle waterways
• Observing wildlife on Monkey Island (ethically, with no feeding)
• A visit to the Agua Clara Locks Visitor Center where you will see ships transiting through the newer locks on the Atlantic side
• A visit to Fort San Lorenzo, a stunning cliffside fortress with centuries of history
• Engaging insights on Panama’s environment, people, and canal history

4. Trusted by Travelers From Around the World

Guests frequently mention John by name in glowing reviews for his friendliness, humor, and deep insight. Many say it’s the best tour they’ve ever taken — and that’s no accident.

5. Committed to Ethical Tourism

John’s approach is based on respect — for the land, the animals, and the people of Panama. He never feeds or touches wildlife, supports local communities, and teaches guests how to be better travelers.
