A great tour, well worth...
Virginia_L, 07-01-2023
A great tour, well worth booking! Paola was an excellent guide and really made this excursion special. The boat ride was great with excellent monkey sitings. The breakfast included was super delicious and really exceeded our expectations, and then the walk through the rainforest was really nice as well. Paolo was super knowledgable about the wildlife and the area, and answered every questions succinctly and professionally. A great, worthwhile tour if you are visiting Panama City!
Monkey Business (and some Sloth business)
Marissa A, 02-01-2023
We spent part of the day with Enrique who was entertaining and very knowledgeable and kept our kids attention. We had a lovely morning boat ride and saw monkeys and sloths, some flying toucans, it was very cool. We had a picnic breakfast and then did a rainforest walk. Didn’t see anything on the rainforest walk and there were cars up and down the pathway so it ended up just being a really hot sweaty hike for an hour on a gravel path…that part of the tour seemed like a waste and we would have rather done something else where we could have seen things. But overall, we had a blast and the tour crew helped us see a sloth on the side of the highway.
Incredible Tour of the Panama Canal and the Local Wildlife!
Carrie_K, 01-01-2023
I am so glad that we booked this experience for our family! Our tour guide was John, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, plants, and wildlife within the Panama Canal and beyond. He did an excellent job of communicating with us leading up to the tour, and picked us up at our hotel without any issues. Our tour included a lunch, and the locally-sourced and prepared food was delicious. John and his assistant truly took this memorable experience to the next level. I'm looking forward to visiting Panama again, and will likely book another tour through this company while we are there.
Amazing education about Panama

Our guide Paola made this one of the best experiences on our travels. We started early, 6am, and were able to see plenty of monkeys, birds, crocodille, etc. Paola talked with huge enthusiasm and knowledge and she kept us entertained the whole time. Very educational experience, super fun, our whole family loved it! Thank you!
Great guide!
