About this route
Playa Venao is the surf bay of the Azuero Peninsula: a long curve of sand with consistent waves for every level, a few small hotels and a relaxed village feel. Getting there from Santa Catalina by public bus means several changes on the way; a direct shuttle saves the day.
Trips to Playa Venao run on request. Tell us your date, how many of you are travelling and where to collect you, and we confirm availability and the total price for your group. While you are there, have a look at our Azuero tours, including Isla Iguana.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
We quote the total price for your group once we know your date and how many of you are travelling.
Where do you pick me up?
At your hotel or hostel in Santa Catalina. Tell us where you are staying when you book and we confirm the pickup time by WhatsApp the day before.
How do I reserve and pay?
Once we confirm, a $15 deposit per person secures your trip — by PayPal (booking@panamashuttles.com), Wise or a secure card payment link (card payments include the processing fee). The rest is paid on the day of travel. Please wait for our confirmation before sending any payment.
What if I cancel or miss the pickup?
The $15 deposit is non-refundable if you cancel — even at the last minute — or if you are not at the pickup point at the agreed time, so please be ready 10 minutes early. If road closures or blocked roads stop us from reaching your destination, we refund the deposit in full. Read the booking & cancellation policy.
