We went to Mr Tito's coffee farm, a small but fascinating coffee farm in Boquete. Our tour guide Erick was an enthusiastic and knowledgable local who was good fun and made the tour even better than it already was. We met the owner who was welcoming and was happy to meet and chat with those being guided around his farm.... More

We did a couple of tours through Habla Ya - coffee tour and horseriding/hot springs. Our tour guides were fantastic - David and Israel - and the tours themselves were great. We never knew coffee making was such an involved process, and everyone was very accommodating of our 1 year old, active, toddler! However, we specifically went to ask on... More

Six of us went on a tour to see four waterfalls with Israel and two other guides from Explora Ya. We had an amazing time!! Israel shared with us historical facts along the way so that we knew what we were looking at and the significance of it all. It was nice to know that our guides were so passionate... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of being the first ones to enjoy this trip, as it just became part of Explora Ya hikes. Our guide, Israel, knows everything there is to know about the area and was very insightful on everything from local history of the town to what rock formation to use for your vertical jump into...

We used Explora Ya to add to our experience at Habla Ya, it's sister Spanish language school. The morning tours worked in well with the afternoon classes. We did the coffee tour with Israel. His energy level, enthusiasm and knowledge level definitely make the tour well worth while. You don't really go on the hot springs tour for the hot... More

We walked passed the Explora Ya office, saw the plantation tour listed on the marker board for $25. We stopped in, signed up and had all of our questions answered. We showed back up at the office at 2pm to get in the bus. Easy peasy. The tour was guided by a friendly young man, Israel, who was very knowledgable... More

We went on a coffee tour with Israel on our first day in Boquete. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and very personable. We liked him so much that we booked a hike with him for the following day. He taught us about different plants and animals, showed us little known sights throughout the hike, and was overall wonderful. I highly... More

We visited Boquete for 3 days, and spent most of them with Israel from Explora Ya. First he took us on a tour of a nearby coffee plant, and then led us on a hike in the Volcan Baru park. Israel is exceptionally knowledgeable: plants, wildlife, safety and anything else you might need while in Boquete. He was interesting, professional,... More
