  Had an amazing time on this tour. We stopped at a Farmers Market and had some pineapple. The produce looked wonderful. Then we boarded our boat which holds 30 people and began exploring Gutan Lake and “Monkey island”. The Tour Guide Daniel was awesome! Very knowledgeable, friendly and even sang a song for my birthday. The monkeys were terrific and nice to see in their home environment. We learned there is over 800 things to eat in the jungle. Fortunately we say an alligator and a snail eating bird. Kudos to our driver too for doing a great job! I enjoyed the Port pick up and drop too. Just a small caution due to traffic the excursion can last more than 3.5 hours so allow extra time.

• In having them very close

  Excellent service. Good experience to know the whales up close. My family fascinated him by having them so close. This country that's a beauty.

• Poor transport and communication, great tour on the boat

  Be sure that they are very clear with your pick up spot. We were where they told us to be at 9 am. After several texts back and forth we were finally picked up in a small SUV with a driver that couldn't speak any English. We were supposed to be in a air conditioned bus with a guide. Same on the way back. My husband and I ended up in the third row of the small SUV with zero leg space. An hour each way. The boat ride was very good and Daniel was a great guide for it.

• Incredibly beautiful and eventful!!!

  The tour guides are very nice and share lots of information with you. They also provided some gifts at the end. We were able to see all the monkeys and 2 species came in the boat with us so including a 3 month old baby. We were able to get great pictures and videos. We also saw some iguanas and a Capybara as well as several birds. Highly recommend this tour company!

  Excellent tour! It was so well organised. The guide knew so many facts and presented it all in a fun and interesting way. There was time for questions and he was open to chat about any part, but didn't waste time either. Couldn't fault it at all. Best tour of our trip so far.

  The tour was amazing. Daniel, our guide, was great. He knew a lot of interessting facts about Panama City and nature. We saw a lot of monkeys. That was great. The tour is a bit expensive, but it was worth it. :)

• Best tour ever!

  I absolutely adored this trip, we saw all 3 breeds of monkey and both the Titi Monkeys and White Faced Monkeys came onto the boat. Feeding a handful of peanuts and out of the palm of my hand and then having the monkey walk over it, is a memory that will live with me. Although once the excursion was underway it was brilliant, the lead up was very concerning. Given this is marketed as a cruise shore excursion, I was rather surprised that the meeting point was a random ice-cream shop, a 16 min walk or $10 cab ride from the Pacific Cruise Terminal where we were docked. Even more surprising was the email I had just over a day before hand, asking which hotel I wanted to be picked up from, and asking if I wanted a 6.30am or 1pm pick up, despite having booked one for 9am on a cruise ship excursion. I didn't receive confirmation of the pick up point, and a time change to 1pm until 8.30am just before I was about to leave assuming it was still booked for 9am as per my ticket. I was also rather surprised about having to then spend an hour going around various other hotels to pick up many other guests. The listing on Viator states there will be a maximum of 15 travellers.. I'd say there was definitely more on this excursion - so I'd suggest a lot of the description of this may not be accurate. However once it is underway and the stress of trying to make sure you don't miss it while there is a lack of communication, it really was an excellent trip and one of my favourite excursions of my whole cruise,

  

• Great Excursion! Great Guide!

  We booked this thru TripAdvisor instead of the ship since the ship's excursions were already full. We are so glad we did; we paid about the same or less and were the only four in our group. We saw others out on water and their boats were full. Out boat had about seats for about 15, but only us four passengers, the guide and the driver. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We could not have asked for anything else. We had about a 45-minute bus ride to the boat dock, then 2.5+ hours on the water in the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake looking for Monkeys on the islands. We were able to spot 2 of the 3 species that live there, the White-Faced Monkey was hiding that day.
