5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable experience thanks to Manolo. He is an exceptional guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and he knows everything about the environment, wildlife, and the area. On top of that, he is genuinely funny and engaging, which made the whole adventure even more enjoyable. Manolo speaks English, French, Spanish, and several other languages, which made everyone feel comfortable and included. The experience was a huge success for our entire group. Everyone loved it, from the youngest at 5 years old to the oldest. This was truly an amazing experience and a big part of it was thanks to Manolo. I highly recommend this tour and especially Manolo as a guide. Español Tuvimos una experiencia absolutamente inolvidable gracias a Manolo. Es un guía excepcional, muy conocedor y apasionado, y sabe absolutamente todo sobre el entorno, la fauna y la región. Además, es muy divertido y cercano, lo que hizo que toda la aventura fuera aún más agradable. Manolo habla inglés, francés, español y varios otros idiomas, lo que hizo que todos se sintieran cómodos e incluidos. La experiencia fue un éxito total para todo el grupo. A todos les encantó, desde el más pequeño de 5 años hasta el mayor. Fue una experiencia increíble y gran parte de ello se debe a Manolo. Recomiendo este tour sin dudarlo y, en especial, a Manolo como guía.
Good way to spend a morning.

4.00It was a good trip. The boat ride was fun and the guides know where the animals like to hang out! We saw a lot of different animals and birds up close. The snacks were tasty too. The only surprise was the pick-up time for my group; we were asked to meet in the lobby at 6:15 am.
Simply Amazing. Highly Recommend.

5.00The Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour was a very enjoyable half-day adventure that my wife and I took on a recent stopover in Panama City. Communication from the operator was timely and informative. Pick up was at our hotel and we were given Hojalbre, a tasty local bread and juice. After a short bus ride we transferred to a boat for a tour of the Panama Canal (this was on one of the lakes that make up part of the canal route) where we got up and close with iguanas, crocodiles, birds, and 3 species of monkeys. After the boat ride we were provided a wonderful lunch of empanada’s and patacones. We then took a 1 km walk down a jungle trail where we observed many varieties of vegetation , birds and a sloth. Throughout our tour our guide “Jess” was both informative and entertaining. We highly recommended the tour which provides a combination of wildlife viewing, nature exploration, and engaging local interpretation outside the urban core of Panama City.
My family and I had the best time!

5.00Emilio our guide and our bus driver Danny were awesome. I apologize I can't remember our boat captain's name but he was awesome too. We actually got to see a sloth, two Tucans and some monkeys. The empanodas were delicious. They also provided a light breakfast and a pineapple snack after the boat ride. My family and I had the best time. Highly recommend this tour.
Wow! We had a great time and saw everything!

5.00This tour had so much...the Canal, a jungle walk, a trip along islands in a boat, and most of all, wildlife! We saw three types of monkeys, and a sloth. Indeed, the sloth won't be down from his tree before Christmas, lol. Alex made me a great video through the telescope he carried with us..the BEST! Alex was well informed, kind and attentive. We had a great driver and a bus pick us up for the excursion. Alex took the time to explain everything, answer questions, provided us water and a locally made snack, and just make it a great day. I'm so glad I took this trip..unforgettable!
Fun time with monkeys and sloths!

4.00Good experience, very friendly guides, very nice to see the animals. My only comment is that on the hike some tourists no longer wanted to walk and returned to us all, so we were less time in the jungle than established
