Traveling with a friend we opted to book this tour before we left on our vacation and we were really so glad we did. Briant Dominici picked us up at our hotel about 0630 and drove us to the dock near Gamboa where we boarded the boat that would take us on their 1/2 day Wildlife Safari Boat Tour. The... More

As a biologist and "wannabe" teacher, it is a joy for me to be out in the rainforest sharing with others this magical world. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to make a living doing what I love. More

We took our family to Panama for the first time, and had the most amazing experience with Briant. He helped make our trip memorable by taking us to the Bayano Cave and spending the day showing us the wildlife and the Panama countryside that most people will never be able to see. He was very patient with my 8 and... More

I recently moved to Panama and have been on various tours to help me explore my new home. I came across the caving tour and decided to try it out. I sent out an email rather last minute for a weekend tour but my email was almost immediately answered and it only got better from there. Briant picked me up... More

From the very first email I received from Braint or Lita after my first inquiry, our trip to Panama exceeded our expectations. We have a son spending 3 1/2 months in Panama and wanted to visit him and take him on our Spring break vacation. From the start, Braint and Lita were accommodating, friendly and had figured out how important... More

Our family trip to Panama was an incredible, one in a life time event. We traveled with our elderly mother, so our first concern was her health and safety. Our tour guide was excellent to attend to her needs which allowed the rest of the family to relax and enjoy the journey. We can't say enough about Briant, he felt... More

I can't say enough about how fun and fascinating this tour was. Briant is an amazing, kind and knowledgeable tour guide who made us feel like good friends immediately. Luckily, our tour group ended up being just my boyfriend and I plus Briant's son so we really felt special. The drive out to the lake is long, but it's interesting... More

We have been travelling with friends over the New Year’s holiday for several years. We've been to Vegas, done cruises and done the beach thing, but this year we endeavoured to do something a little different. In our search for "off the beaten path" natural tours we came across the tours offered by Eco-Adventures through Xplora. We booked the trip... More

A huge bouquet goes out to Briant for a fantastic time in Panama. All the details were so carefully planned out - we experienced a great time learning about the rich culture of the Kuna Yala people and the Panama Canal. Whitewater rafting was amazing. Guide was very sensitive to the level of skill and adventure desired. Huge highlight was... More

We booked this tour after reading the glowing reports on Trip Advisor, and on the whole, it didn't disappoint. Briant gave a bit of the Panama Canal history as we drove to Gamboa (more info would have been appreciated), and the boat trip itself was wonderful. Lots of sightings of capuchin monkeys, and close enough to afford great photos. (Some... More
