Good day out of the city - Great day the indigenous village. Dan was a great tour guide and driver. The boat ride through the lake was so peaceful and the short easy hike to the waterfall was through the rainforest and so worth it to get to the waterfall. The local people in the village were so welcoming and the lunch was delicious and the fruit so fresh

Must Do Tour!!! - This tour was phenomenal from the communication with the tour operator to the awesome day they had planned for us! You start your day out early at 7 with pickup and then it’s about a hour ride out the river where you get on a boat and head down the river with beautiful views for about 20mins. Next the hike begins, I would rate it “beginner” level as it is not hard but do wear water shoes!!! As you will be walking through 1-2 feet of water and muddy parts but it’s like a 15-20min hike to the waterfall and the view there is beautiful! The water is cold but once you get in it feels good. You stay there for about 30-60mins depending on the guide and then you head back down the same way to the boat. You then take a quick ride to the village where you eat local fish caught in the river and fresh fruits and learn about the emberra tribe. This activity was the one of the best things we did and you learn a lot. I will recommend this to anyone who comes to panama! Also bring atleast $20 cash and support the local people and buy some awesome souvenirs and get the tattoo!!

Incredible experience! - Absolute amazing experience. Our tour guide/driver, Dan Taylor, was knowledgeable, funny, friendly, thoughtful, and made us feel safe. He was definitely made for this. The Embera village people were welcoming and taught us so much about their culture. The food was so fresh and delicious. Would recommend to everyone who wants to get to have a good time.

A Memorable Experience - My husband and I had a great experience. We loved the canoe ride, hiking on the trails to enjoy the beautiful waterfall, visiting and learning how the Embera residents live. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, kind and made us feel like a family.

Wonderful, unique experience - This experience was amazing for me and my adult daughter! The weather was hot, we worked up a good sweat on the hike (make sure you have good water shoes cuz you have to walk on wet rocky terrain and through the river!), then cooled off in the waterfall, and after that we had the unique experience of learning a lot about a village of people who feel no need to adapt to the modern world. They live in nature and are so kind, talented, and welcoming! The food was delicious too.

Honest Review by grp of four - This was a super cool excursion. We all had a great time! The fruit was amazing! The fish and plantains were really good. The village had tables with each family of the tribe so bring cash if you want to buy things they made. Bring good hiking shoes and a towel or change of clothes as you can change once you get to the village.
