We had a group of 12. They picked us up right from the hotel and made it a really enjoyable day. The guide was pleasant and informative. The bus was nice. The boat ride to monkey islands was fun. And we ended up eating a wonderful meal in old town. Highly recommend.

It was awesome! We saw the coolest parts of the canal, all kinds of animals including sloths and many kinds of monkeys. The tour guide was very good at teaching about the animals and history of the canal and was very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Our guide was amazing! He was so informed and knowledgeable all while making jokes and making us feel comfortable and safe. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Panama City. This tour was also incredibly ethical and avoided causing harm to any of the wildlife. The food at the end of the tour in Panama City was delicious. 10/10 experience.

Seeing the islands full of different types of monkeys was such an amazing experience! Our tour guide Ernesto was the best. Super friendly and made us laugh and entertained through the whole experience.

Ernesto the guide kept us up to date with pickup time . He and the driver took us over the Sentinel bridge so we could see a ship passing on the canal. They stopped to let us see a sloth and we we saw the 3 types of monkeys and a Crocodile. Then the “worst rain storm” he has ever had as a tour guide hit us , making the channel choppy and without visibility. The boat driver and the guide maintained calm . We looked like we had all taken a swim with our clothes on . It really was an adventure.
