Great tour guide! - Alex was terrific. He has great energy, loves his job! He designed our tour specifically for us. He was willing to extend our time and add an additional activity on. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Alex!

Richard picked me up on time. I had a good experience seeing several Monkeys and several other animals. The trail walk was a - Richard is very knowledgeable and we saw lots of animals, etc. Wish the tour was longer. Well worth the trip. Thumbs up!!

Richard George was an informative and wonderful tour guide! He worked hard to show us many species on our jungle cruise! - Awesome experience with the monkeys!! Wow! We got an experience of a lifetime! Thanks to Richard we have the best photos

Amazing tour and tour guide! - My family had Richard George as our tour guide and he was phenomenal! Richard had so many great and interesting facts, I had learned more from one boat ride than during my entire nine day trip in Panama. My family was able to interact with 3 different species of monkeys and got great photos! Additionally we saw crocodiles and several bird species. This is something my family and I will always remember! 5 out of 5 stars!!!

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!

As advertised and MORE - We learned quite a bit of Panama's history, saw all 3 types of monkeys hand fed Capuchin monkeys, and saw a 2 toed sloth. Great Time!

Day trip to Lake Gatun - Punctual pick up at hotel. Transfer to Gatun Lake followed by a 90 minute cruise on the lake. Cruise was the highlight of the trip. We were able to feed monkeys watch birds and enjoy the lush nature which was in stark contrast to the huge vessels passing through the canal. The walk through the forest was ok but nothing particularly special. The price was somewhat on the higher end for the trip which ended with a negative experience. The guide told us that he reserved a table for lunch in a Restaurant (with terrible Google ratings , which I found out later) where we absolutely got ripped off. One of us paid USD 25 for a plate of rice with veggies and on top of this half of the guides food (additional USD 16) was added to our bill without being asked.

Monkeying Around - We loved this tour! Our tour guide Charlie (who was quite the character) picked us up from our Airbnb at 8:00am. He was super knowledgable, funny and quite kind to our 9 year old daughter. On the way to Gamboa, Charlie told stories of Panama's history and culture. He stopped along the way to grab bananas, peanuts and grapes for the monkeys. Upon arrival, Charlie met up with our boat capitain. I liked that we were the only 3 on our boat as it seemed like other boats were filled with people. The boat itself was super dooper basic but it didn’t matter because the ride is lovely! Because we took the morning tour, the monkeys were hungry, so quite a few came to our boat without much prompting. Apparently it takes a little more coaxing if you take the afternoon tour. The only monkey we did not get to see was "Melissa" who lives on her own on one of the islands. She must have been sleeping, or perhaps had enough for the day. Our tour was supposed to end with a 1 hour hike in Soberania National Park. This was the only thing I would say that was a disappointment. Charlie said that the hike would be too hard for our 9 year old so we went for a walk at Gamoa Rainforest Resort instead. I think that somewhere on Viator should say that a child cannot manage the hike. This being said, the resort walk was fun and Charlie had lots of stories to tell along the way. All in all a great morning out in Panama - would totally recommend.

Interesting but dependent on the animals - Interesting trip but dependent on whether the monkeys and other animals want to come down to the boats or sun on the lake. We did see a crocodile and monkeys but not a lot. Tour guide Yas was great and did everything he could to help us see them. Hike part described on Viator was somewhat inaccurate as there are not orchids which is why I picked this trip. It is mainly an hour car ride and 90 minute boat ride. Tour guide spoke excellent English and we did have a private tour which was nice.
