very lovely experience, saw a plethora of wild life, including monkeys, iguanas and alligators. Kids got to feed the monkeys! Dan was a Brilliant tour guide from start to finish!
Absolutely amazing..Our tour guide Daniel was awesome!! He gave great insight to the history of Panama & the canal. The monkeys were soooo cute and came right up to us and ate out of our hands.. a lot og great memories were made that day!!!
Worth every penny!!! Our tour guide Dan was on time for pick up and has extensive history knowledge of the country and canal. The monkeys were so cute and what stood out most to us was the humbleness of all the boats men and their individual tour guides. Everyone was sharing food for the monkeys and giving eachother the chance to approach for a closer look. Going back we sailed next to the big ships, that was awesome!!!
It was amazing experience and a very knowledgeable tour guide!
Was a great morning. Picked up exactly on time and driven to the canal. Had a lot of information about the canal itself. Rode in a small boat out through islands and saw three kinds of monkeys and lots of birds. Got close to some giant ships coming through the canal. Everything felt safe and was a great time overall.
Fernando was amazing very knowledgeable and answered our questions about the animals and the boats in the canal. Didn’t expect to see so many beautiful animals. It was amazing to see Fernando call the monkeys by name and them to come out to him. Had an amazing morning thank you very much Fernando and our boat driver!!
Alsee (sorry if misspelt) was an amazing guide! Lots of fun and tonnes of monkeys!
This is a really cool way to get to experience nature and the canal at the same time. The monkeys are adorable and it’s really special to get to be on the lake with the huge boats transiting the canal.
My family and I had a great experience today, with our tour guide Ricardo. He planned ahead and bought some fruit which was provided to the native animals, allowing us to experience the native animals first hand experience. One of the animals ate fruit out of my hand which was an amazing experience . The boat operator also provided a smooth ride which added to the experience. Thanks again for the experience you provided .
It was awesome very educational our tour guide was very helpful and very knowledgeable about the monkey Ricardo was our tour guide he was truly the best 🙏🏽I must acknowledge the boat driver and the little guy on the boat as well great team ❤️
