You’ll land at Tocumen Airport and spot your name on a sign—no scrambling for taxis or worrying about delays. Settle into an air-conditioned car with space for your group, pause for groceries if you need them, and let your local driver handle the rest as Panama rolls by outside your window.
There’s this weird moment when you step out of customs at Tocumen Airport — that blast of humid air, the shuffle of tired travelers, and then I spotted my name on a sign. Our driver was right there, smiling like he’d done this a thousand times (probably has). He waved us over, and honestly, after the flight, just seeing someone who knew what they were doing felt like a relief. The car was cool inside, which I didn’t realize I’d appreciate so much until I sat down and felt my shirt unstick from my back.
I kept glancing out the window as we left Panama City behind — concrete giving way to green in that slow, sneaky way. Our driver checked in about the grocery stop (included, which is handy if you’re heading straight to Linton Bay Marina), and waited patiently while we debated whether we needed more snacks or just caffeine. He didn’t rush us. I tried to ask him how to say “thank you” properly in Spanish; he grinned and corrected me gently. It’s those little exchanges that stick with me more than any scenery sometimes.
The road stretched on — not too busy, just long enough for everyone to settle into their own silence or half-listen to the radio playing something soft and local. There was this faint scent of rain even though it hadn’t started yet. The whole private transfer from Tocumen Airport to Linton Bay Marina took a bit over two hours but felt shorter somehow (maybe because I dozed off for part of it). No stress about delays or extra charges — our driver said he tracks flights so nobody gets left waiting around. That kind of thing matters when you’re tired and just want to get where you’re going.
