Panama City Stay:

Tranquilo Bay may arrange reservations for you at one of a number of hotels in Panama City if your travel plans require a stay in Panama City.  Tranquilo Bay  has had to implement a slight charge for this service as  Panama City is very busy which often makes finding a room difficult and requires reconfirmation by Tranquilo Bay to ensure you have your room upon arrival in Panama City.  We do require that you confirm these reservations with your credit card.

Domestic Air Transportation:

Tranquilo Bay may purchase your airline tickets for you with one of the domestic airlines for your round-trip transfers between Panama City and Bocas Town.  Tranquilo Bay charges a $10 charge in addition to the price of a round-trip ticket in order to purchase the ticket for you.  Tranquilo Bay will forward you a copy of your paid ticket receipt with your itinerary in advance of your departure to Panama.  All airline tickets are non-refundable.

Panama City Tours:

We will arrange for you a tour of Panama City and the Mira Flores Locks at the Panama Canal with our transportation provider, Easy Travel Panama, upon your request.  You will pay Tranquilo Bay for any tours.
