It was a relaxing day of learning about all the animals and plants that make up Panama’s wildlife. We learned a lot. The motel there is very nice.
Gamboa Wildlife at its best!

Alex, our guide is a true professional, focused to provide all the important information, history, cultural background about the local region and all. He is conscientious to make sure everyone’s curiosity, questions and fully reaolved, takes his time patiently to fulfill his duties. He is trained well to spot and invite the little beautiful creatures close enough to feel being really in the rainforest.

First our guide was Richard. He was professional and full of knowledge. Richard grew up in Gamboa and was extremely proud of Panama and it's history. The boat tour of Monkey Island was the highlight . I would highly recommend this tour. Richard and our boat captain found us numerous types of monkeys, bats ,even a sloth in the wild plus iguanas and birds. Next we went to the Slot sanctuary and saw and learned about these amazing creatures. Definitely would go again on this excursion. Richard was an awesome guide.

Our guide, Oscar, made this a really great experience. He filled us in on so much information about the history of the canal and Panama in general. My wife was ecstatic to get to interact with the white face monkeys and also to see the sloths at the sanctuary. Overall, a truly great experience.

This was a trip to Gamboa to see the Massive Gatun lake and see the monkeys. Oscar picked me up promptly, was communicative throughout and we had a very chatty ride to the boat. The boat ride was amazing, with monkeys coming to the boat, Oscar and Julio were very experienced. And knew how to attract monkeys. It was such an amazing experience. Then we went to see butterflies, and the superstars of the trip, the sloths! So adorable. Such an action packed 4-5 hrs.

Communication was excellent with our pickup at the hotel! And the tour was amazing…we saw 3 different kinds of monkeys, and were able to get close and feed 2 of them. We also saw a sloth at one of the monkey islands! The sloth sanctuary and butterfly exhibit was incredible as well. All in all…I would definitely recommend this tour.

The monkey islands part was great(except where the guide said there were Tigers in Panama 🤦‍♀️). We arrived at lobby of Rainforest hotel...was not told how long we had(we could have actually sat down for coffee and something to eat if we had of known). Then the sanctuary, frogs etc. Guide stayed at hotel while we were trucked down and put in a group of at least 30 people!! I was not happy! There were 5 in our group. The reason I book through Viator is i know group size ahead of time. Definitely would NOT book this particular tour again.
