One of the highlights of the trip to Panama City. Seen lots of monkeys, toucans, iguanas and crocodiles. My partner and I leaned a lot about Panamanian history and had a great authentic meal half way through the tour in the village of Gamboa. The walk through the rainforest was lovely too. I would definitely recommend this tour!! Paola and Yoel are great people and super knowledgeable. Thank you for the wonderful tour, we had an amazing time in Panama 🇵🇦

I cannot recommend this tour enough. It is such a cool experience. Our tour guide Mike did an incredible job of sharing the history of Panama, as well as facts about the wildlife and culture. The boat ride is a lot of fun and you get to see some amazing creatures in their natural habitat.

This tour was so amazing and easy - easy to book, easy to know where to be and when, easy to participate in!
John, our tour guide, was so charming and alert to the animals around us and to our questions. He provided a lot of information enthusiastically on our drive to the boat which was so engaging and interesting. We got to see a manatee, monkeys, a sloth, parrots, baby crocodiles, and a bird catch a flying insect prey!!
Grateful I took this tour and got to see a bit of nature and the canal. Would 10/10 recommend.
Breakfast was delicious and I felt like my food allergies were tended to respectfully.
Also, I really liked that we didn't feed or touch the animals while we were out in nature and on the boat - it is nice to see the animals and not disturb them or risk getting them ill from our germs and the processed foods we could be tempted to feed them.

Paola was fantastic! We did a couple of tours while in Panama and she was by far the best guide. She was incredibly informative, friendly, and very passionate about her work. The tour was great. We had such a fun time and saw so much in just half a day! The rainforest was beautiful!
