I was skeptical at first to us a travel agent. I normally take care of all my reservations myself but was so busy at home and work I needed help with putting everything together. A friend of mine recommended Mekayla and Passport Poppin. I'm so glad I did!! This is the first time my trip was completely stress free. My flight, excursions, meals, shows and relaxation time all fell in perfect order. Thank you so much for a great time. I'm recommending Mekayla to everyone I know.

Mekayla went above and beyond to make sure my solo birthday trip was one to never forget. She made everything seamless and was very east to communicate with.

If I could rate a 20 I would! My agent is Kemberlea and she is amazing! She has been so helpful this whole time! From helping me to find a better destination that’s in my budget to helping me with tips on how to handle first flights and even with trying to chance things about my trip. I’m very grateful for her and will book with her everytime from now on!

Overall, despite the daily rain, I thought that the Panama trip was well organized, from the transportation shuttle to/from the airport, the Day 1 cocktail making class & mixer, to the daily itinerary & transportation on excursion days, and the group dinner & music on the last day. Receiving the Passport Poppin ' swag bag at hotel check-in was a nice touch; and I also appreciated the end of day schedule reminders that were posted in the trip's GroupMe.

I recently traveled with Passport Poppin to Panama and had so much fun! This was my first time traveling outside of the country since before the pandemic hit, which is why I opted to take a group trip. I had no idea what to expect but left feeling incredibly satisfied with my stay in Panama. The Passport Poppin organizers were authentically kind, thorough, and responsive to any need that came up in real time. For example, when I mentioned concern about being more inclusive with dietary restrictions during our group-provided meals, the Passport Poppin girls were able to accommodate me so that I always had something to eat and expressed a true desire to be more inclusive in the future. They were always around to promote community amongst the group, safety within this new country, and incredibly lit vibes 🤭😜. Passport Poppin was mega prepared, organized and so so so much fun! I’d definitely consider traveling with them again ♥️

Yes, yes, yes! I am an avid traveler, but I’ve never traveled with a travel group before. I’ve always planned my own trips which I love doing. My trips are always very thorough and fun. So to be honest, I was pretty hesitant about paying upfront for a trip that someone else planned with people that I don’t know. However, my friend was very adamant about me coming on this vacation with her. This trip was planned in collaboration with The Hike Crew a Black owned hiking group based out of DC. My friend brought me to their Black History Month hike and the vibes were immaculate so I was convinced to go on this trip to Panama with the groups. I was so surprised at how much fun I had! Not that I thought it wouldn’t be fun, but I honestly just didn’t have any expectations. All the activities were very fruitful and engaging and just downright fun. Everyone on the trip was so kind and it truly felt like a little family we created within just a short period of time. We got to eat amazing food visit indigenous people, and intimate villages explore the city and nature and so much more. My only note would be that as a vegan, I would’ve appreciated more inclusion for dietary options. But besides that everything was literally perfect. All the ladies who planned the trip were so kind and accommodating, and ensure that our needs were met at every corner. I had the best time and will definitely be on another Passport Poppin trip very soon.

10/10 Would Recommend Traveled with Passport Poppin for a group trip to Panama! The coordination prior to the trip was great, organized and very informative! During the trip, all the accommodations and activities included were awesome! Akeia and her team were there to answer any questions, address any concerns and made sure we has a superb experience! We joined the trip as strangers and left as friends! Thank you Passport Poppin for an AMAZING travel experience!

My friends and family thought I was insane for going on this trip with complete strangers to a country I've never been to before but I’m glad I did. We did it Joe!!!! The group of ppl on this trip were Absolutely Amazing!!! We all clicked immediately, definitely have some life long friends and travel besties after this trip. The hotel selected was a really great choice, super comfy, spacious ,close to great restaurants, Amazing Staff and it offered a great luxury balance to all the trekking we did on various excursions. Our tour guides Dan and Kevin were the absolute best, 10/10, extremely knowledgeable, so kind and patient with us. I do wish more options for the various excursions would have been given. The boat tour and island hopping on the 1st day was so much fun. The hiking/waterfall experience however, definitely brought me closer to God. I be in the gym and I’m pretty active but I'm far from a hiker so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Definitely wish I was more prepared. I would have brought more of a book bag rather than a tote and definitely hiking shoes/ sneakers rather than the water shoes, would have preferred something with more grip. The waterfall itself once we made it there was beautiful but the hike there was nerve racking and terrifying. I’m sooooooo glad we all made it to and from safely but I was 1000% afraid of falling, really injuring myself or sliding off the edge the entire time. So much so that I couldn’t truly enjoy the waterfall because I was fearful of the hike back. I know it was the time of year that we went but there were plenty of times I would have felt safer trekking / swimming through the water and it taking longer rather than going up and down the muddy mountain holding on to trees, roots and branches for support. Our guides and the members of the tribe were life savers,Thank God !!!! I know we put them through hell but I’m so grateful for them. The landscape was breathtaking and indigenous tribe that we got to break bread with was trully the best part of the day. They were so welcoming and we learned so much about their culture. Overall I would Absolutely do another group trip like this now that I know what to expect! Shout out to Passport Poppin and The Hike Crew for setting this up!!! Miss Y'all Already!!!
