Panama’s varied terrain makes for a variety of adventure experiences on water, sea and land.

Water Sports & Adventure

River Rafting and Kayaking Year Around

Many consider the Chiriqui Viejo River in Chiriqui Province one of the 10 best rafting rivers in the world. The Mamoni River, Class III-IV and the Pacora River, Class III, are located east of Panama City, in the Province of Panama, and are the closest white water fun from the city.

The Chagres River, Class II-III, located northeast of Panama City, within Chagres National Park in the Province of Colon, promises an unmatched full-day jungle expedition where 5-6 hours of rafting is an integral part of it. Boqueron River, Class II, within Chagres National Park in the Province of Colón, is perfect for families with members of all ages.

The Rio Grande, Class II-III+ located at the Province of Cocle, runs through tropical dry forest and breathtaking granite rock canyons.

Chiriqui Viejo River, Class III-V, located by Costa Rica Border in the Province of Chiriqui, it”s the best white water challenge with its uninterrupted rapids.
Higher water level could be expected at October-November and the lower water level could be expected at March-April at the end of the dry season.
River treks and gear are chosen depending on the time of the year and the skill of the paddler. While some rivers are operated year-round they could be run in rafts during high water and only in kayaks otherwise.

The best company for rafting, kayaking and adventure in Boquete and Chiriqui is Boquete Outdoor Adventures.

Family Fun Rafting

With Boquete Outdoor Adventures, eight members of our family made the trip in one raft (steered by an on-board guide) along with two guides providing additional safety support. It was a thrilling day trip as exciting as any ride at Disney World, and it lasted a lot longer. . Lasted 4 hours of rafting, with a break in the middle for a riverside picnic lunch. We sometimes sped and sometimes drifted down the scenic river. Boquete Outdoor Adventures has a perfect safety record and its guides make sure you have a fun memorable time.
