The canal boat trip through the rainforested islands was the absolute highlight - even in the rain. It was magical when they turned the boat engines off, and we just listened to the forest sounds. Actually being on the canal besides the big ships was incredibly cool as well. The rainforest walk was lovely, though quite short, involving walking on a road through the forest. A wonderful day out.

This is the best tour we have been on in Panama! We saw 3 different kinds on monkeys, 2 different kinds of sloths, a ton of new birds, a baby crocodile, leaf carrying ants, and a HUMONGOUS butterfly! The trek in the jungle was not strenuous. It was perfect! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about all things Panama, and was so pleasant! The “snacks” were actually a whole meal of Panamanian staples, and they were delicious! The bus ride was comfortable, and pick up and drop off was very convenient. 10/10 would recommend!

I had such an amazing time on the Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat tour! The experience was both relaxing and full of adventure. Our guide, Manolo, was absolutely fantastic — passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly funny. There was never a dull moment with him! We saw adorable monkeys up close, learned about sloths in their natural habitat, and even witnessed Manolo catch a young crocodile right from the water (safely, of course!). His energy and love for nature made the whole trip truly unforgettable. If you’re visiting Panama City, this tour is a must-do. You’ll leave with great memories, stunning photos, and a big smile! 🌿🐒🦥🐊

Manolo was very affable and gave clear and extensive commentaries on every aspect of the tour. He engaged with everyone in the group and showed deep respect for the environment. We were fortunate to have him as our guide. He was selfless in attempting to please and entertain everyone, the highlight being his catch and release of a baby croc. We would do this again with Manolo. Highly recommend him .

Our tour guides Yas and Dani did an amazing job teaching us about Panama while taking us to find sloths and monkeys. We also saw lots of other animals and birds as well. Yas was able to share a lot of knowledge from his vast experience in this area. The Panamanian snacks were also a highlight. I have already recommended this tour to several other friends visiting Panama!
