It was a delightful day exploring the Boquete area. We stopped at a coffee shop/farm for a drink at the beginning of the tour, then headed to a beautiful waterfall. Our tour guide, Laura, was very informative and gave us several photo opportunities. We were given a tutorial of how to use the bike before heading out.

Itinerary
This tour will take you along a picturesque ride starting at Soul Planet Cycles bike cage. The tour will take you through a variety of scenery within the Boquete Valley. Our tour starts with a short ride through the town of Boquete and then up to the Pianista lower loop circuit which is on the north side of Boquete up into coffee country. After we complete the Pianista Loop part of the ride we head up to the San Ramon Waterfall. You'll pass the Las Ladrillos basalt formation along the way to the waterfall. Running beside the route is the Caldera River. There is plenty of natural senary along the way as we are entering a canyon. After the waterfall, we head to Pepe's haunted castle which is a good place for photos. On our return trip, we will stop at one of the local coffee shops for a refreshment break. We then head back to our initial meeting point to end the tour.
Visit Altieri Specialty Coffee, in the highlands surrounding Boquete, where you can sample a cappuccino, cafe mocha, or americano. Altieri also offers 2 separate short walking trails through their coffee plants, that you can explore while waiting for your order.
Basalt lava formation that is now used for rock climbing
Roadside waterfall next to the Caldera River. Nice place for taking some photos.

This was a good first day tour to take in Boquete as it offered us an overview of the area. The e-bikes made the ride easy unfortunately the cloud forest was rainy and we were not prepared for this, making that part of the ride pretty wet and miserable. A stop for coffee was a welcome break from the rain. We had also hoped for more interaction and description of the area on this tour.
The ride was awesome. We used to live in Boquete but never did this tour while living here. We were back down for a week and decided to do the tour. The bikes were great, the guide was outstanding and the ride was beautiful up the hills above downtown Boquete. If you are in town, take this tour.
Great 2 hour experience with Laura riding around Boquete. It’s a fun and relaxing ride with some beautiful scenery. The final smoothie stop was delicious 😋
It's really a stretch to call this a tour; there was no information or history provided and basically we just rode out of town, past the climbing wall, turned around at the water fall, and came back the same way. We never saw Pepe's haunted villa !! And even worse, the guide's bike broke down after about 20 mins and we had to wait like 30 mins on the side of the road until someone came and fixed his bike. There was no type of refund offered ! We were really expecting more stops along the way and some information and history of Boquete, recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc. Our guide spoke good English and any conversations were initiated by us, mostly at the coffee stop at the end. I would have rated this tour as poor except for our guide who was nice and did speak good English. But if you are going to call it a tour and not just a bike ride, then please offer more information/discussions about Boquete and what we are seeing on the ride.
I had a fantastic tour with an awesome and very informative guide, Joaquim. A view of Baru and the lovely hillside, a gourmet coffee house/plantation, Las Ladrillos, San Ramon, a quaint local town and a sample of geisha coffee. His recommendations while in Boquete were also appreciated.
What a great way to see the town of Boquete as well as the outlying natural areas and the waterfall. Our guide Joaquin was fabulous and made it a great experience!
The tour was fun, safe and great! The assisted e bike surely help to go up the hill 😉. Beautiful scenery along the way...the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Thank you.
A fun way to see the town on two wheels and high-quality e-bikes make it effortless. We did the food tour which had some nice stops. The guide was perfectly nice, but didn't provided the scripted narration you may find on some tours. Good to do near the beginning of your stay to get a lay of the land.
Awesome e-bike tour thst provided a great “pedals -on” perspective of Boquete They had state of the art equipment and our guide, Jaquin was friendly and knowledgeable
First time on an e-bike tour and Joaquin was amazing in helping us out and showing us around the hills and beautiful areas.
Awesome E-Bike tour up the slopes of Baru volcano. And then all the speed you can handle coming downhill. Some great Adrenaline. Vincent was awesome and very knowledgeable about Boquete and Panamá.
Joaquin was very nice. People should understand this requires a level of fitness. The bikes are heavy and starting and stopping can be challenging. While the route is scenic, you don’t really get to enjoy it because you’re focused on navigating the traffic, the very steep hills and controlling the bike.
I was very pleased with my ride and with our Guide Laura. She was really nice, personable and informative. Don’t hesitate to use Soul Cycles.
Had a lovely ride in the hills surrounding Boquete. The bikes were in great condition, helmets that fit properly were provided. Would recommend taking a spin on this adventure.
The tour was great going between microclimates and beautiful scenery, and the guide was fantastic. Ability to go on your own pace, which included when going up hills it was truly easy..
What a great way to get off the main avenue and see boquete from views above! Joaquin was fantastic, and through a bit of rain and lots of shine, the experience was great! Highly recommend it!
Laura was a wonderful guide around Boquete! Beautiful scenery and the e-bikes make it so easy. Highly recommend this tour to see the beauty of Boquete!
Awesome tour guide, leading you through breathtaking scenery. The stops were well timed as well as beautiful.
The best part is that you get to see what is around the town including coffee plantations and it included a fantastic lunch. I highly recommend this tour....and the electric part means it is no real effort:).
Great e-bike tour with Laura! She was very helpful, making certain everyone was comfortable with their bike, adjusting them after a test ride around the block. We headed up into the mountains surrounding Boquete on a well-paved road. The pace was good and all of the hills were manageable using the gears and power from the bike. We stopped at a beautiful waterfall, los ladrillos (cool volcanic rock formations), an abandoned castle and had coffee at Cafe Ruiz. Laura is an excellent guide who took extra time to reassure and help one of our group members who had never ridden e-bike. She also shared information about the area and indigenous people. Great scenic tour!!
This was a really great couple of hours seeing the sights around Boquete. I had a great time and the weather was great. Nice coffee stop at the end. I would recommend to others.
We had a party of 4 signed up for the e-bike tour. Since the company did not have 2 bikes for short ladies, the ladies had to cancel. The owner quickly refunded us the cost of the canceled reservations. The 2 men in the party enjoyed the tour.
Laura was a wonderful guide on our tour. She was informative and patient! If you want to see Chiriqui coffee country from an e-bike, this is the tour for you.
Simply drive your e-bike around Boquete and discover, feel the landscape, the nature, the beauty of the region ....
Had the greatest time, awesome experience. Definitely a must do if your in boquete, the guide she is awesome very friendly. The bikes are cool, they really pick up speed. Thank you for a great experience most definitely will fully recommend to others.
Beautiful scenery through the mountainous regions and a stop at a delicious coffee bar. e bikes are fun and not as tiring!
Valo was amazing! Great way to learn the logistics of Boquete. He was raised here...so say no more. Will "ride again with our upcoming visitors." Thanks!
What a fun way to see Boquete! The bikes are amazing safe, well maintained and fast. No need to worry about fitness level the bike will do the work. Vincent is a great guide who knows the area well and makes you comfortable riding the countryside. A great way to spend a morning!
Vincent's E-bike a must to experience the micro-climates of Boquete. This is my second summer to rent an e-bike from Vincent. Great bikes in excellent condition.
Laura (her American name) was a wonderful guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our ride through the beautiful countryside of Boquete. We had several opportunities to stop and take pictures and then she offered to let us go to the Boquete sign. We had great instructions on using the bikes and she kept us very safe!
Honestly one of the best things we did in Boquete. Vinny was an amazing guide and the bikes provided a beautiful, scenic and stress-free view of the Boquete area. So easy to operate and Vinny made sure we saw all of the highlights around town off the main road. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the conversation and perspective of what life is like in Boquete from Vinny. We look forward to doing this again the next time we come to the area.
Laura took us through lovely winding rural roads up the mountain and down through villages and along raging creeks. The bikes made it easy to do. Great scenery. Laura was good at describing the surrounds when you asked her questions. We got good tips for hiking along the way.
The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the route was perfect! You will get to see some lovely scenery and the bikes have enough power that you will be in complete control of how much or how little work you do on the bike.
Honestly this is the one of coolest things I’ve ever done! Loved it. Absolutely gorgeous scenery, great guide(Vinny), fantastic hospitality!! I will most definitely be doing this again and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fun adventure. Also a great way to see more of Boquete.
Great experience. Viny is awesome. The points of views are fantastic. We recommand you this activity. Thanks for the ride. ☺️
Sophie (part owner) ton the time to ensure safety was learned and we were comfortable operating an ebike! This was very important and the tour guide was excellent!! On our tour, Sophie took the time to show us the wonderful parts of Boquete and that we had plenty to see. The smoothie provided was also fantastic. More importantly Soul Planet Cycles kept their bikes in great shape. When I looked into their collection of bikes I noticed everything was kept in good condition and that nothing was dirty or worn out. My bike looked and operated like brand despite it having a few thousand kilometres on it! Good job Soul Planet Cycles! I wish all ebike tours were as good as you.
We really enjoyed the e bike tour! Beautiful surroundings, easy to use bikes, friendly owner. It would have been 5 stars if the guide didn’t seem like she would rather be somewhere else.
We had a tour with our guide Monica and she was amazing. It was our first experience with an E-Bike and we loved it. The equipment is in excellent condition. We biked on quiet roads all over Boquete and we felt very safe. We stopped in a coffee plantation and it was very interesting. The coffee was so delicious. We highly recommend Soul Planet Cycles. It is the best excursion to do in Boquete.
What a great ride this was! Vinnie answered all my e-ike questions and took us on a tour of pretty well the whole Boquete valley and up to a waterfall. It was my first time riding an e-bike and although I do have a lot of motorcycle experience and bicycle riding experience I was a little nervous . Being 62 I do have a few body parts that aren't as good as a few years ago. I have been thinking about buying an e-bike for the last few years and this was a great way to try one out as we did I would guess 15km on a wide variety of hills and flats. Riding into a strong headwind uphill almost effortlessly made me wish that I had one years ago. The scenery in the valley is amazing . Vinnie seems very knowledgeable about the local area and Panama and if I return to Boquete I will book another tour with him.
Such a great time with Vincent taking me through the off road mountain paths of Boquete. The bikes were incredibly fun to ride. Even with the steep hills the bikes made the whole experience joyous and unforgettable! Stunning views, awesome slalom downhills and lovely coffee stop at the end. Highly recommend for solo travellers like me as well as groups. Vincent was knowledgeable about the town and local tribes which was great to hear about as well as knowing the best places to stop and admire the surroundings. Easy 5 stars. Thanks guys!
Great way to see Boquete. The equipment is in excellent shape and very safe. Laura, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable and an amazing host.
The guides, Monica and Laura were able to handle a group of 7 without a problem. We truly recommend everyone to make time for this. It was an amazing experience.
First time back on a bike in yrs. , & first time on an E bike . Instruction was great . Once I learned the controls I had a great ride !
I had the pleasure of going on the Boquete e-bike tour with Monica, and it did not disappoint! After a brief tutorial with Monica and friendly owner Vincent, we were off on our tour, riding through some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. The bikes were in great condition and were super-helpful for some of the more steep hills we encountered. Monica was very easy-going and easy to follow and spoke impeccable English (and yet still helped me practice my Spanish a little too!). In addition to a lovely waterfall (planned), there were also a couple of pleasant surprises, like a wild pony near a river (unplanned). All in all, definitely one of the better parts of my trip to Panama!
I took a terrific tour around Boquete with Monica. Very pleasant and fun. Stopped for coffee and had a nice chat. Great way to see the town and surroundings.
We saw everything we wanted to see on these awesome E-bikes. Vince and Monica are both amazing! I would highly recommend the tour on the bikes and then go start exploring this beautiful haven🙏 Thank you Monica🤗
My wife and I did the 2-hr full circuit tour with our guide Monica, a super sweet girl from David. We’ve never ridden E-bikes before. Vincent gave us a brief training session before the tour began and made us comfortable. We felt safe the entire way thanks to Monica. We’ve seen so many beautiful sceneries along the way at a relaxed pace. We had a coffee break half way at Cafe Ruiz, a beer and long chat with Vincent at the end. It was super fun. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes biking and a bit adventure.
My boyfriend and I both live in Panamá y we have been to Boquete many many times, but on an e-bike you get to experience so much more. Vince is awesome and he took us all over Boquete. He is super patient and our trip was so much fun. Just do it!! Thank you, Vince for a memorable day and for making our trip so much fun. We love our video too.
We went on the 2hr. tour and on another day we rented the e-bikes to ride on our own. Both experiences were wonderful! Vinnie was very knowable about the area and provided many details and interesting facts about Boquete. The tour never felt rushed as he allowed us to go at our own pace. After gaining the experience and comfort with the bikes, we rented them for the whole day. It was a blast and a great way to see the town of Boquete!
