Combo Tours: Two Birding Tours in One Day

Make the most of a day in Panama: a morning tour, a break for lunch, then an afternoon tour nearby, all with the same private guide and vehicle. Two habitats, more species, and a better price than booking the tours separately.

Choose your combo

Each combo pairs two tours that are close to each other, so you spend the day birding, not driving. We stop for lunch at a local place between tours; each traveler pays for their own meal.
