Great experience! - We had the absolute best day today with Yas! We had a private tour all day. Yas has the best English, so friendly and has so much incredible knowledge of the area! We learned so much for him. We saw 3 types of monkeys, crocodiles, turtles, toucans, a sloth and so much more. If you can request him, definitely do!!!

Amazing! - The tour was amazing! We were able to see 3 different types of monkeys as well as seeing the incredible canal and a crocodile. There was a large group of us which can sometimes be difficult but the guides, Richard, Jesse, and Yasser were brilliant. Would certainly recommend!

Don’t Miss This Tour - It was so fun to see the little islands in Gatun Lake and the various animals. There were lots of other boats like ours out doing the same thing. Our guide gave us a good commentary on Panama while driving to and from. This tour is well worth the cost.

Wonderful Rainforest Tour/Boat Ride and Hike - Our guide Alex our was wonderful! Knowledgeable, funny and smart, Alex taught us about the Panamanian wildlife (multiple types of monkeys, crocodiles, birds, sloths etc!). We fed the white face monkeys and watched a sloth cross the road -literally every driver stopped and got out of their cars to help the vulnerable creature arrive safely. Our boat tour was full of wildlife citings and our hike to the top of a tower in the middle of the rainforest was beautiful- so cool to hear the howling monkeys. A great tour of a very special place by a excellent guide.

Monkey madness - Wow! Richard was wonderful—knowledgeable, punctual and fun. The monkeys stole the show. They are hilarious, wild, friendly and it is going to be hard to beat this trip with the combo of the boat ride and their entertainment!

Don’t miss Gatun Lake - Our guide and driver were both excellent. I’m glad we took this tour because seeing Gatun Lake is a unique experience. My only complaint is the hike at the end. It’s a long way on an uneven road made of rocks. We didn’t see anything except a few birds. I think the time could have been spent in a better way.

Very informative on the... - Very informative on the bus ride, loved the boat ride. The rainforest walk was a bust as we did not see anything but that is strictly luck and not the fault of the tour.
