The tour was great, Manolo Ruiz is a great tour guide very passionate for animals and very educational of history of Panama and the animals.
Our tour guide was Manolo Ruiz. He was amazing! Smart, funny and brave! He spotted so many fascinating creatures and trees. He was also generous with water and food. Would definitely recommend his tours.
Great way to see some of Panama's wildlife! Great guides! I have nothing else to say about this trip to make up the required 100 characters needed for the review!!
Very good experience. The weather was a threat but Yas the guide is definitely a Maestro. He was prepared with ponchos for everyone to mitigate the rain. We got a lot of interacción with all the Monkeys and were able to take amazing pictures. I recommend this trip to everyone
I recently had the opportunity to experience the Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Tour in Panama, and it exceeded expectations in every way. From the start, the experience felt well-organized and thoughtful. While the pickup ran about 20 minutes late, the process itself was smooth and easy to navigate. Once the tour began, it was clear that the quality of the experience would make up for any minor delay. Our guide, Manolo Ruiz, truly elevated the entire tour. He was not only knowledgeable and informative, but also brought a great sense of humor and genuine generosity to the experience. His passion for the environment and wildlife was evident, and he created an engaging, welcoming atmosphere for everyone in the group. The boat itself stood out immediately—it was noticeably nicer and faster than others in the area, which made the ride both comfortable and efficient. This allowed us to spend more time enjoying the surroundings rather than traveling. The wildlife sightings were absolutely sensational. We saw multiple species of monkeys, vibrant birds, and iguanas in their natural habitat, all up close. It felt like a truly immersive experience rather than a distant observation. One of the unexpected highlights was the fresh empanada snack, which was both delicious and a thoughtful touch during the excursion. The rainforest walk added another rich layer to the tour. Guided through lush surroundings, we learned about indigenous trees, insects, and bird species, and even spotted sloths in their natural environment. The combination of education and exploration made this portion especially meaningful. Overall, this tour offers an exceptional blend of adventure, comfort, and education. With an outstanding guide like Manolo and such rich biodiversity on display, it’s an experience I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Panama. **PS— our driver was FANTASTIC as well!
Our tour guide Manolo Riaz was amazing. Explaining and spotting the wildlife. He has an amazing eye for catching the animals in the forest!!
Booked this trip via trip advisor, super friendly staff, fast answers pn Whatsapp when you have questions. Great experience for the value. I really recommend this.
Well worth the money. Seems like a guarantee to see monkeys and even a sloth!
Fantastic tour from pick up to drop off! Yazz was informative and kept our attention. Both guide and driver were dedicated to not only getting us to the precious monkey viewing points but took extra care to be on the lookout for a sloth on the way back - successfully!
The experience with Jaz. and Adan was amazing. They were very informative and knowledgeable. They went the extra mile to make sure our tour was complete. I would definitely recommend this tour. They were very amusing as well.
