    4. Caribbean catamaran day cruise to Venas Azules and Playa Drake

    4.4· 37 reviews

    Full-day catamaran trip from Panama City — scenic drive, 1.5 hours in Venas Azules, 2.5 hours at Playa Drake, and a local lunch onboard.

    If you're pressed for time in Panama City, I recommend this tour. The boat may be older and not what I anticipated, but it was comfortable, and the captain along with the staff were fantastic. Venas Azules and Drake Beach are adventurous hidden gems. Plus, the drive from the city to Colón was beautiful, highlighting authentic parts of Panama. I would certainly do this again.LaChante_L

    A full day on the water exploring Playa Drake and Venas Azules — snorkeling, kayaking, and a relaxing lunch included, with hotel pickup from Colón available.

    I had a wonderful day; the trip matched the description perfectly. I loved spending time on the water. Just a heads up, it is about a one-hour drive from Panama City, so it makes for a lengthy day.Rachel_P
