33. Manta Shore Tour: Panama Hat Making, Artisan Goods, and Local Cuisine
5.0· 25 reviewsLight activity tour around Manta, exploring Panama hat making, artisan goods, and local beachfront cuisine, suitable for all mobility levels.
“We arranged a private tour for four in Manta, hoping to spend the entire day exploring during our 10-hour port stop. Unfortunately, delays in disembarking led to us losing about 1.5 hours of our tour. There was also some confusion regarding the itinerary; Shaskia, our guide, had a different plan than we had discussed, which meant we missed seeing the Panama hat factory. However, she adjusted quickly, and despite not visiting everything we wanted, the tour was enjoyable. Shaskia was knowledgeable and friendly, which helped smooth over the issues. I highly recommend her as a guide. The Panama hat site was impressive, and the chocolate factory included a booze tasting that turned out to be a delightful add-on. The restaurant she recommended for our seafood lunch was wonderful, but we had to eat in a hurry because of the ship's delay. I would consider booking with Manta again, ensuring that we confirm an itinerary beforehand.”— B4991SBmicheller

We also purchased Panama hats in Montecristi and toured Ciudad Alfaro. It was a fascinating day. Our guide Anna was remarkable—articulate, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind.”— Velda_H
