End your adventure with a comfortable return ride to Panama City, arriving back at your hotel with unforgettable memories and photos of Panama’s wildlife.

Overall trip was wonderful. Great way to see a little of Panama outside of the city. Farmers Market was neat. The monkeys were adorable. We saw a few other wildlife. Jenny was our tour guide and did an amazing job sharing information, answering questions and making the trip fun. She was truly awesome. Ivan was our driver and got us to and from safely. Definitely recommend this tour.

Daniel was a great guide. Funny and informative. Excellent experience. Saw three kinds of monkeys. Several monkeys came onto the boat. There are howlers in the trees at the docks where you catch the boat. Very worthwhile tour.

First, I want to express my Gratitude to Daniel and all the Tour Group for finding my sunglasses. I lost it during the boat trip. They found it and notify me the next day very early around 6:00 a.m. No only that they returned but they went beyond the call of duty by bringing my sunglasses to the Hotel. I am forever Grateful.

Great trip! Driver picked us up right from our hotel. Daniel gave us an entertaining commentary on the canal and the city on our way over. Boat ride was safe and comfortable, saw 3 types of monkeys, an alligator, iguanas, bats, and even a sloth! Rounded out the trip with a pop by a wholesale farmers market to use the bathroom and were back at our hotel in no time!

We booked this tour last minute, not knowing exactly what to expect, but are soo glad we did! The tour was well organized, on time, very informative/educational and also so much fun. Thank you to our excellent tour guide, Daniel, for making sure we had fun and were engaged the whole time. He is a fantastic tour guide! His whole team was great - our driver, monkey whistler on the boat, and our boat captain. True professionals and stars of Latin hospitality. Thanks very much!

Daniel and all picked us up at our place of stay, we were on our way. Daniel was our guide on the bus, he was fun and lively. We drove to Gatun Lake then boarded a covered boat to go explore the Monkey Islands! We were able to see all 3. It was a fun day on the water! Everyone was so nice. Book it! You won’t regret it.
