Lots of animals
We saw 3 kinds of monkeys and several other interesting animals. There were loads of monkey boats out searching, so when some were found out was chaos with boats all piling into the same space. Our tour guide did a nice job on the hour ride to the marina. He did both Spanish and English evenly.

Very informative tour of the monkey islands on Gatun Lake.
Our guide Maribel led us on a wonderful journey on Gatun Lake as we sought out several different types of monkeys - howlers, capuchin, and titi. Also, she pointed out many varieties of plants, trees, flowers, and birds as we visited a number of coves and islands on the lake. What a wonderful way to experience Panama!

Highly recommended
A private trip with a guide like Ruben is the best way to see the canal. I really enjoyed the afternoon. Great communications from Cesar. Ruben was on time, a really good and knowledgable guide and because of him I have some amazing videos of the monkeys. We also got to see the sloth which was a real highlight.

A must-do in Panama
It was a wonderful experience! Our tour guide Gonzo is the best guide you could ask for. He is knowledgeable, friendly, funny and obviously has great rapport with the indigenous people who live in the village we visited, which helped make our visit even more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you Gonzo!

Amazing Panama
Danielle (Danni) was absolutely delightful. She was incredibly knowledgeable, extremely friendly and 100% engaging. She alone was worth the rice of the tour. The monkeys were wonderful to see. And then there is the Canal!
What can I say about the canal that hasn’t already been said? Completely amazing. A trip to Panama is not complete without this tour
