Best day trip we took all week! - 100% recommend this trip. Our guide Alex was hilarious, knowledgeable and got gave us a first class experience. Nice vehicle to get to/from Gamboa. Alex knew where all the monkeys and tamarins were and called them to us. They climbed on the boat and jumped on us! Also saw bats, toucans, crocs, a sloth and lots of others. No hidden fees

Unforgettable Panama Canal! - This was the most incredible tour I've ever experienced. The overall experience was impeccable but moreover, our guide Richard was extremely knowledgeable and I learned so much from him. He provided an exceptional private tour and was so accommodating. We loved our tour so much that we asked for another tour the next day. I could listen to Richard share his knowledge of the canal and the history of Panama all day. I can't recommend Richard enough!

Above and beyond - Yoan is a wonderful human. He arranged to pick us up at the airport and to eventually take us back to airport for our return flight as well. On our early morning return flight he even had snacks for us! Gus was our docent on our adventure to Monkey Island. He was also so knowledgeable and fun to be with too! Feeding the monkeys and iguanas, seeing bats and birds. You all made this a trip of a lifetime and certainly one we will remember. Looking forward to a return visit one day! Thank you both so much

Guided Jungle Adventure with Gatun Lake Cruise - We enjoyed our trip with Alex a lot, he is very knowledgeable about the wildlife he answered all our questions enthusiastically and pointed out all the animals that showed up that day. At the end of the tour he recommended us a traditional food market where we had fantastic lunch. We highly recommend a trip with Alex 😁🦜

Great guide, great tour - Saw tons of animals, monkeys, birds, sloths. The boat tour was fun and informative. Hiking was fantastic and we had an amazing guide Alex who answered all our questions and spotted animals we would have never seen ourselves. He was great with our kids as well. Highly recommended.

Monkeys Everywhere!!!! - Our trip was over all Amazing!!!! Our tour guide Alex made sure we had the full experience. Before we made it he pulled over on the side of the road to make sure we were able to get a close look at a 3 toed sloath hanging out in the tree. On the boat ride we got up close to the monkeys. Both me and my husband were able to feed them right out of our hands . Finally the hike allowed us to see many different birds. Alex was able to identify the bird species by their calls. This tour was a must see and definitely a highlight of our trip!!!
