We booked Panama on Wheels for transfers plus a day of touring. Very responsive through WhatsApp, and price was reasonable. Panamazing also replied with a similar price quote, but took them much longer to respond.

Looking for opinions / advice about getting around in Panama City both pre- and post- cruise in February 2024 (Rhapsody of the Seas). I got a good quote from Panama on Wheels for airport/hotel/cruise transfers as well as a day of touring, but can't find any reviews since April 2022. Anyone familiar with the company? They will also pick us up in Colon at the end of the cruise and get us to PTY for our flight home. Panamazing is the other company I'm finding. They have more recent reviews, but I don't have a price quote from them yet.

Chair vendor met us right as we crossed the street after getting off the bus and took us to a place to sit. $20US for 2 chairs and an umbrella. They called the water a little choppy while we were there, but we mostly swim in the ocean in Maine and it was perfect - some waves, but *WAY* warmer! Photos below are the beach from the water and the water from the beach chair.

We were on the same cruise and took the ships bus tour to Maracas Bay. No security presence to speak of but everyone felt very safe on the beach. The Bake & Shark is good. Awesome? No. But good. $25US for a sandwich, chicken tenders, fries, and 2 beers. We went to Richard’s - the locals said they go to Annette’s which is next door.
