Very nice trip. The price was cheap and the travel was very awesome. The monkeys were amazing and seeing the huge ships was astonishing.

Daniel is the bust guide out there, super knowledgeable about the lakes history, the flora, and all the secrets of the animals. Brian, our driver, was exceptional navigating the wild roads back and forth from the city. And our boat captain "Jack Sparrow" is the best one could ask for in slipping into the little coves to get close to the monkeys. 10/10 would do again

Great tour. Friendly staff. They took the time to come back to a spot again to see the white faced moneys as 1st time around it was packed with other boats.

Jeny was our guide. Lovely, experienced, enthusiastic and very proud of her country. We saw birds, all types of monkeys living on the island. Also saw a sloth. Weather was good and having a cover over boat was a plus. Anyone would love this treat!!!! Boat captain was great. He had a special bond with the monkeys and a banana in his pocket!!!
