Exceeded expectations! - Enrique is a knowledgeable, funny and inclusive tour guide. Great communication - regarding pick up and while on the tour.
Plenty of small yet meaningful touches - snacks, restroom breaks and great music on the boat ☺️
The tour took 5-6 hours and was a great way to see the canal and wildlife.
Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful tour! - Enrique led us on an amazing tour! He seemed to truly enjoy sharing his knowledge and passion for Panama’s nature.
We had amazing experiences with monkeys, but he made sure everyone understood and respected the wildlife. Rain did not dampen the fun of our jungle hike and his eye for wildlife allowed us to see toucans and a sloth.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone ages 5-80. It was an absolutely wonderful experience.

Most special experience we’ve ever had in Panama!! - Enrique you were a tremendous guide! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge of Panama City’s history and current status. We saw and did everything mentioned on the tour site. Feeding the monkeys was amazing , especially since everyone on our boat was able to do this due to your thoughtfulness of being prepared with fruit. I also was grateful for the experience of going on the Panama Canal with our captain.

Fun, unique, and an abundance of photo worthy moments! - A comprehensive experience. Well thought out and organized. Started with interesting historical and current facts as we drove through the city, stopped along the way to see sloths (that would otherwise be easily missed amidst busy traffic,) had a bonus sighting of a Tucan, cruised the Panama canal, fed monkeys, walked the Rainforest, & tasted some traditional foods.
Enrique really goes out of his way to give you the experience you're looking for! His English is also great. This was the only company I found with an afternoon option, which meant my young child could sleep in and no crowds!

Fantastic tour…highly recommend!! - Enrique is a fantastic tour guide - knowledgeable, witty, professional, etc. We did several different tours and this one is 100% worth it! My 2 girls and I had a great time seeing multiple sloths and getting up close and personal with the monkeys. We were amazed at his ability to spot the sloths…as we were driving he spots one, pulls over, takes out his zoom lens and we get a perfect view. My daughter is retaking the tour again this week to share the experience with her host family.

More fun than a barrel of …… - The tour was an excellent way to spend a half-day and we learned so much about the Panama Canal. I thought it would be a big stretch of concrete, but we went into areas that felt like dense jungle. Capuchin monkeys even boarded our boat and demanded payment in peanuts, to which we happily obliged. We also saw a capybara which is the world’s largest rodent (approx 100 lbs!). All in all was a very fun time and the staff could not have been more courteous and professional.

Pure Joy - This tour was by far one of the best tours I have been on! The tour guide was engaging, funny and knowledgeable of flora and fauna in Panama. The boat ride on the Panama Canal with music was amazing! The snacks, drinks and fruit were chefs kiss! The stars of the show were the capuchin, howler and Geoffrey’s Tamarin monkeys. Plus our guide had binoculars to help us see the amazing and elusive two toed sloths! Book this tour now!
