Absolutely. We understand that your biggest concern is the Crown Princess departure time. We have been operating Manta shore excursions for over 10 years and have never missed a ship. Our schedules are strictly synced with the Princess Cruises arrival and departure times on August 5, 2026, ensuring you return to the Manta Port Terminal at least two hours before the gangway closes.

We offer both! You can join our shared group tours for a more social and budget-friendly experience, or book a private Manta excursion if you prefer a custom itinerary tailored to your group’s pace. Since the Crown Princess has a large capacity, we recommend booking your independent shore excursions early to secure your spot.

Meeting us is simple. Once you exit the Manta cruise ship terminal and pass through the passenger reception area, our guides will be waiting for you holding a clear Manta Tour Guides sign. We are located just outside the main gate of the Manta port, avoiding the chaos of the large tour bus lines.

Choosing an independent Manta tour guide allows for a much more authentic experience. While Princess Cruises excursions often involve large 50-passenger buses and limited time at attractions, our tours use small, comfortable vans. This means more time at the Pacoche rainforest or the Montecristi Panama hat workshops and less time waiting for a large group to board. Plus, our prices are typically 20-30% lower than ship prices.
