Beautiful morning on Gatun Lake - We booked a private tour with Camilo to visit Gatun Lake and Monkey Island. He was always available through What'sApp and made sure that our tour went exactly as we wanted. It was a beautiful morning out on the lake. We saw all three types of monkeys as well as a toucan! I would highly recommend Camilo for your touring needs.

Definitely worth it - Company communicated well regarding pick up. Air conditioned bus to boat. Daniel was our guide and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable and perfect English with a great sense of humor. We had the ‘monkey whisperer’ with us and she attracted the monkeys. We saw 3 types of monkeys, some tiny bats, an iguana and many birds. A fun trip.

Madaleine & Rafaelo are the very best - Our guides were Madeleine and Rafaelo. They were superb. I had a fantastic time and loved every minute. They spotted sloths, iguana, crocodile, white monkey, tamarind monkey, the ones up the tree and another species. They knew some by name too. Loved it.

False advertising ........... - The tour was fine and the operators did a great job. BUT a major misunderstanding re the fees. Only AFTER I signed up was I informed that there would be a $30 upcharge each (cash) for the boat operator. They never asked for it throughout the tour so I assumed that was a misunderstanding. I gave Daniel (el jefe) a $30 tip to be shared and assumed that was the end of it. The operators are still after me for another $60!!

Your website says $20... - Your website says $20 additional for the boat ride. The tour guy changed the price for the boat ride from $20 to $30. That was cheating!
