This company is absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. We saw 3 types of monkeys, sloths not only in the sanctuary but on the grounds around it, butterflies, frogs, and orchids. The guide, Hector, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. The driver, Diego, was also friendly and a great driver. He even went way out of his way to bring back my glasses that I left in the car. All members of the team wired together to make sure I got my glasses back which I really needed and I can’t thank them enough for that. All staff communicated well as to the pick up time and answered questions quickly pre-tour when I reached out to them. We even got lucky and had the tour all to ourselves. I’d absolutely book with this company again and I can’t thank them enough for a wonderful experience!

Monkey Island & Sloth Sanctuary Tour

Judy_S, May 2026

Juan, our tour guide, made this a trip to remember. He went out of his way to point out monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and crocodiles during our tour. His tour of the Gamboa area was also very enlightening and endearing, since I am a former resident of Gamboa. I highly recommend Juan. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience with us. Héctor and Diego will be very happy to know that their knowledge, friendliness, and dedication made your day so special. Our whole team was glad to help you recover your glasses — we always do everything we can to take care of our guests. It’s great to know you enjoyed the wildlife sightings, from the different species of monkeys to the sloths, butterflies, frogs, and orchids. And having the tour all to yourselves is always a special bonus! We truly appreciate your kind words and the time you took to share your experience. It was an honor to host you, and we would be thrilled to welcome you again on your next visit to Panama. Warm regards, Juan Manakin Adventures Panama

Our family of four ended up with a private tour that was exactly as anticipated. Juan was an excellent, experienced guide and driver.

Better than expected

Great tour to Gamboa, Gatun lake and Monkey Islands

Ivy_B, Sep 2024

Our tour guide Juan made this a fantastic tour. He was able to spot wildlife and made sure that we were able to see birds, monkeys and sloths as well as giving us some history of the canal area. He was so enjoyable to be with on the tour. It was a great day.
