We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Panama City
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Evenings in Casco Viejo, a visit to the Panama Canal, and a boat ride on Gatun Lake shape this retreat agenda in Panama City.
Panama City is a strong choice for teams that want a mix of modern infrastructure and tropical surroundings. With a skyline similar to major global cities and quick access to beaches and rainforest, it offers a balanced setting for both work and downtime.
Tocumen International Airport (PTY) is a major hub in Latin America, with direct flights from North and South America, as well as Europe. The airport is about 20–30 minutes from the city center, making arrivals efficient for teams.
The dry season from December to April is usually the best, with temperatures around 75–90°F and lower humidity. The rainy season from May to November brings short, heavy showers, often in the afternoon.
Casco Viejo offers a historic and walkable setting with boutique hotels, Punta Pacifica and Costa del Este are more modern and business-oriented, while Amador Causeway provides a scenic waterfront atmosphere.
The unique combination of city, ocean, and rainforest within short distances allows teams to create a varied retreat experience. You can move from meetings to outdoor activities quickly, which keeps the schedule dynamic.
Teams often choose Panama Canal visits, boat trips to nearby islands, rainforest hikes in Soberanía National Park, cultural tours in Casco Viejo, and cooking or cocktail workshops.
A 3 to 4 day retreat is usually ideal. This allows time for structured sessions, city exploration, and at least one outdoor or nature-based activity.
Panama City works particularly well for teams coming from the Americas due to its central location. In our experience, teams we’ve hosted appreciate how easy it is to coordinate travel from multiple countries.
The city offers a mix of Latin American, Caribbean, and international cuisine. Teams often plan group dinners in Casco Viejo, rooftop events, and waterfront dining experiences.
Panama City offers a unique mix of global connectivity, modern infrastructure, and access to nature. Teams we’ve hosted often highlight how much variety they can fit into a short retreat.
The entire offsite was very great, very good. Very well organized. I liked the planning process - I didn't have to do it, I just had to approve it. I trusted you completely, with everything... I saw this attention to detail and we really appreciate it.
You were amazing and saved me 90% of the time I would have used... definitely working with Surf Office again, 10/10.
From the very first contact to the last goodbye, Surf Office was an incredible company to work with for our company retreat in Portugal. The customer service was top tier and every single person I interacted with was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.
You were unswayable in terms of your positivity, in terms of your proactiveness and cooperation, and just your get it done mentality. So that was really good. Thank you.
Honestly, everything went so smoothly. From Anthony sending us proposals and working hard at finding the right venue, to Romane planning every detail and being so flexible with our requests, to Fernanda being an absolute superstar onsite and being so helpful. Thank you all so much!
I panicked when I learned I had to plan this, I've never done this before. Everything went smoothly for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.
I mean, you guys are magicians. I don't know how you do it... Honestly, it's been great, Jolanda, the support that you've given during the planning stage with all of the prep work that goes into it beforehand. You guys are really, honestly, the best. Thank you so much, you make my life so much easier.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
