In the Oreba Chocolate Tour you not only get to experience one this worlds greatest inventions (chocolate), you get to view sloths, a wide variety of poison dart frogs, and sometimes even toucans. Most importantly you also see how the indigenous people live within the jungle while growing 100% certified organic shade grown cacao and making chocolate with it. The tour is more of a hike through the cacao farms and jungle where the guide goes through the surprisingly difficult process of growing, harvesting, fermenting, drying, roasting, and grinding process. You learn about what makes the farm organic, how the use of trees, plants, and animals help keep the organic system intact and how the indigenous people work within this system to produce some of the worlds finest cacao and chocolate products. The tour includes a traditional Ngobe Indian lunch consisting of local roots and it actually tastes wonderful. The tour also includes transportation to and from the "Bocas Marine Tour" boat dock, a guided tour in English (its Caribbean English) or Spanish, a traditional chocolate making demonstration in the farm, viewing of the animals, the traditional lunch, and one 4 oz bag of which ever chocolate you would like. As of right now the tour could be considered adventurous as the hike is a little steep in some spots. It is well worth it once you get to the top though as the most heavenly chocolate you have ever tasted is awaiting you at the top fresh from grinding. The tour runs in rain or shine and bringing a rain jacket is advised as this is the rain forest and things get a little wet. Also, good hiking shoes that you don't mind getting really muddy. Bringing a camera is a definite must as the chancing of seeing more than one type of poison dart frog are 100% and there is about a 95% of seeing a sloth. The tour starts at 10am and runs every day. Please note: We now have a place to stay! It is very rustic and with a local indigenous family. There are two beds available for $5 a bed. Ask the tour guide about them and the waterfall tour that is now being offered in the community.

"The staff at this dive shop were phenomenal! I am a certified diver and traveled with a friend who was not. I was impressed with the staff's patience and kindness for my friend who was new to the whole idea. They were thorough to ensure that my friend understood everything in regards to diving and i..."t's risks. I highly recommend Starfleet Scuba in Bocas amongst all the other dive shops. This is a legitimate, safe and professionally trained dive shop. Thank you Starfleet!!
(Seahorses are the cutest thing in the world.)

"We visited the zipline on Saturday June 15. I went with a friend who had never done canopy. The equipment is placed at the hotel's activity center area. The guides are young but very professional. Before you start you get a brief but adequate orientation. The platforms on the trees are large, with ..."good security. The experience was extraordinary, fun and challenging. I recommend it.
