What we do

Door-to-door, exactly how Panama should feel.

Four ways to ride with us. Each one built around how you actually travel.

Airport & private transfers

From the moment you land at Tocumen, your trip with us begins. We track your flight in case it's early or delayed, greet you at arrivals with a name sign, and handle luggage and surfboards like family.

But we're more than a ride. Eddie and the team see every transfer as your introduction to Panama — sharing the history of the country, how the Canal shaped Panama City, and the little stories behind the bridges, the skyline, and the neighborhoods you're passing. By the time you reach your hotel, you'll already know Panama a little better than you did at baggage claim.

Custom & multi-day trips

If you can imagine it, we can plan it. A Canal tour with a same-day transfer to your resort, multi-stop coastal routes, group logistics for retreats, or anything else you have in mind. Tell us your ideal plan and we'll handle the details.

Plan with Eddie

Panama Canal tour

Hotel pickup, the Miraflores Visitor Center to watch ships transit the locks, the Centennial Bridge for panoramic Canal views, and a stop along the Amador Causeway — all wrapped in Eddie's stories about how the Canal shaped Panama.

Tour details

Casco Viejo walking tour

Two hours through Casco Viejo with a local. Eddie has lived and worked in the historic district for 10+ years — plazas, churches, museums, plus the hidden corners, neighborhood spots, and stories no guidebook will tell you.

Tour details
Beach destination shuttles

Built by a traveler, for travelers.

80+ countries. 20+ years on the road with Survivor and other TV shows. Eddie has learned what makes a trip flow — and Pineapple Shuttle is everything he loved most about travel, brought home to Panama.

Cambutal

home of Sansara

Wild Pacific coastline, jungle-backed beaches, wellness retreats, and sunsets you'll write home about.

Santa Catalina

gateway to Coiba

World-class diving, surf, sportfishing, and the doorway to Coiba National Park — Panama's wildest treasure.

Playa Venao

beach-town vibes

Cliffside views, sunset bars, surf for every level, and the kind of energy that keeps people staying an extra night.

Morrillo

hidden gem

Wild, peaceful, and barely on the map — where Cari and the Morrillo Beach family treat you like one of their own.

The founders

Eddie & Maya

Partners in marriage and business, and locals of Casco Viejo since 2013. That year, Eddie started Pineapple Shuttle with one car and a love for showing visitors around Panama. Three years later, Maya opened Casco Yoga just down the street. Over a decade in, they've built more than two businesses — a community of neighbors, regulars, and travelers who've become friends. They still run everything from the same cobblestone neighborhood they call home, on the same simple idea: hosting people well.

"These aren't just stops on a map. They're places I've lived in, surfed in, watched the sun go down in. We don't just drive you there — we know the way."

— Eddie

What our guests say.

★★★★★

Kevin was the perfect balance of professional and personable — warm, friendly, funny, and incredibly thoughtful. He made the long drives to and from Cambutal feel effortless. It never felt transactional — it felt like we were traveling with a friend who genuinely cared about our comfort.

We hosted a delegation of 50 participants from the Dutch Caribbean Islands. Edwin and his team ensured everything ran seamlessly — punctual, reliable, and very client-oriented. Highly recommend for business trips and group travel.

Travelling alone from Germany to Panama, I felt safe and comfortable from the first WhatsApp message with Eddie to being received at the airport by his brother Victor — with my name and a big smile. I can recommend with all my heart.

Yes — we do everything from a Canal tour plus a same-day transfer to the coast, to multi-day itineraries with several beach stops. Tell Eddie what you're hoping for and he'll put together a plan.
Cash is our preferred option — simple and easy. If you'd rather pay by card, we have a credit card machine on the day of the ride, or we can send you a secure online payment link ahead of time. Card payments include a small 5% surcharge to cover processing fees. We'll sort out whichever works best for you when we confirm the booking.

We understand plans change, and we always try to work with you. Here's a general guide:

  • More than 1 month before pickup — full refund.
  • Within 1 month — typically a 30% retention fee.
  • Within 48 hours — typically up to 70% of the quoted fare.
  • Within 12 hours — typically the full fare, since the vehicle and driver are already reserved for your trip.

That said, we handle each cancellation personally and try to be flexible — especially for flight changes or unexpected emergencies. Just give Eddie a call and we'll sort it out.
