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.
It was amazing. I mean, the team was just absolutely over the top, thrilled. Everything was fantastic.
As we wrap up our first-ever company offsite in Portugal, I feel so grateful for the incredible experience we've shared as a team. This past week has been nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching and productive sessions, workshops, and memorable moments.
It was a massive success, the team loved every part of it and all of the restaurants, activities, transfer, etc. that you organised were excellent. I will certainly be contacting Surf Office again for anything I plan in the future.
We had a great retreat! So far all individual feedback that came back through a survey we sent out to the team, was super positive! Everyone really enjoyed it!
We loved it! Our management had very specific requirements for a retreat location... remote and in nature but with room for interaction. The venue and every aspect of this retreat matched that. We loved it so much that we even consider repeating the venue.
Everyone has commented on how well the retreat went, and we really do appreciate everything that you did to make it go so smoothly.
It was amazing. The whole team enjoyed everything. The hospitality, the area, the apartments, the sea view, the hotel staff, the old town. It was perfect, it was our best offsite.
Everything was amazing. So I have only good things to say. Team loved it. Again, I was very congratulated. They were very happy. Everything was on spot.
We have organized company retreats for our distributed 30 people team multiple times with Surf Office and the team has loved it every time. Surf Office has some great venues as part of their portfolio and do a great job helping to facilitate pretty much everything from accommodation, food, activities, airport transfers etc.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
