We saw 3 kinds of monkeys and several other interesting animals. There were loads of monkey boats out searching, so when some were found out was chaos with boats all piling into the same space. Our tour guide did a nice job on the hour ride to the marina. He did both Spanish and English evenly.

Very informative tour of the monkey islands on Gatun Lake.
Our guide Maribel led us on a wonderful journey on Gatun Lake as we sought out several different types of monkeys - howlers, capuchin, and titi. Also, she pointed out many varieties of plants, trees, flowers, and birds as we visited a number of coves and islands on the lake. What a wonderful way to experience Panama!

Fantastic Excursion
Had an amazing time on this tour. We stopped at a Farmers Market and had some pineapple. The produce looked wonderful. Then we boarded our boat which holds 30 people and began exploring Gutan Lake and “Monkey island”. The Tour Guide Daniel was awesome! Very knowledgeable, friendly and even sang a song for my birthday. The monkeys were terrific and nice to see in their home environment. We learned there is over 800 things to eat in the jungle. Fortunately we say an alligator and a snail eating bird. Kudos to our driver too for doing a great job! I enjoyed the Port pick up and drop too. Just a small caution due to traffic the excursion can last more than 3.5 hours so allow extra time.

In having them very close
Excellent service. Good experience to know the whales up close. My family fascinated him by having them so close. This country that's a beauty.

Poor transport and communication, great tour on the boat
Be sure that they are very clear with your pick up spot. We were where they told us to be at 9 am. After several texts back and forth we were finally picked up in a small SUV with a driver that couldn't speak any English. We were supposed to be in a air conditioned bus with a guide. Same on the way back. My husband and I ended up in the third row of the small SUV with zero leg space. An hour each way. The boat ride was very good and Daniel was a great guide for it.

Wonderful monkey island tour!
The tour guides are very nice and share lots of information with you. They also provided some gifts at the end. We were able to see all the monkeys and 2 species came in the boat with us so including a 3 month old baby. We were able to get great pictures and videos. We also saw some iguanas and a Capybara as well as several birds. Highly recommend this tour company!

Special experience, well organised, great guides.
Excellent tour! It was so well organised. The guide knew so many facts and presented it all in a fun and interesting way. There was time for questions and he was open to chat about any part, but didn't waste time either. Couldn't fault it at all. Best tour of our trip so far.
