I truly enjoyed this tour, despite light showers as we were on the lake the tour turned out better than expected .We saw the various species of Monkey's, saw crocodiles and also got a history of Panama and its various plants on Lake Gatun. The pickup was punctual and everyone was welcoming and pleasant 10/10 would recommend.

The tour was great. We were picked up at our hotel, Dreams, for a nominal fee. Daniel, our guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable of Panama’s history, the canal, the wildlife and the plants. He provided great stories. Juliette, the monkey whisperer, was great in getting the monkeys to come to our boat. We got some great pictures of various monkeys. I highly recommend this tour.

The description speaks about 'observing' the animals so I went for it. What they don't tell you is that they feed (sometimes, by their own admission, excessively) the monkeys. Our guide also spent the entire trip screaming at the monkeys, like they were dogs. If you want a genuine encounter with nature, DO NOT do this. Observing nature should be all about being as discreet as possible and observing natural behaviours, and this experience was as far as possible from that.
Great trip. Daniel was a...

Great trip. Daniel was a well informed guide. Logistics worked out well to get us from our hotel to the boat. Couldn’t always hear the guide as we were in the front of the boat.
Memorable experience well-executed

We enjoyed our time on this tour considerably. I live in Panama and went with a visiting friend and this is the third tour I've done over the years of this type and this will likely be the company I go with for future visits. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and we got to experience not only three types of monkeys but also saw and learned about herons, a crocodile, hawks, various species of trees, and more.
