Again, depending on package you choose, our price includes just about everything.  You will have to arrange for your own airfare to and from Panama.  While we do pay for the 2 nights at Coral Star's hotel of choice (double occupancy), we do not pay for food or beverage those 2 nights - nor the gratuity to your Captain and Crew.  For the smaller flight from Panama City to David and back, be aware that should your body weight and luggage weight be over 200 pounds, you will be charged an additional $50 prior to your trip.  If your luggage weighs more than 35 pounds, you may need to pay an excessive baggage fee of 25 cents per pound for every pound you are over 35 pounds at the smaller airport.  This is typical for foreign countries especially on smaller airplanes.  While we recognize that this is an inconvenience for you, it is also an indication of the remoteness of David and the logistical problems that face us.

Please note a price surcharge may be added in Panama only if necessary and depending on the cost of fuel, goods and supplies.  Due to the uncertainty of fuel and other possible cost increases such as fishing permits, park fees, hotel rooms, and plane flights, it may become necessary to make an adjustment in class prices in way of a surcharge.
