Snacks (yummy) and water provided. Please note that good covered walking shoes and insect repellent is a must for the walk.

This is a good experience, worth the money , my guide was nice , funny , knowledgeable and interactive. The driver was punctual and drove safely.
This tour was truly exceptional! The passionate individuals involved in the tour were evident. Manolo Ruiz, the boat driver, and the bus driver were genuine enthusiasts who cared deeply for nature, unlike many other tours.
Fabulous excursion. Manolo Ruiz was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic from beginning to the end.
We got to see 2 different species of monkeys, a couple sloths, butterflies, a number of different birds. Great guide who was very informative. Saw big ships up close going into canal. Was well worth the price. The snack was more of a lunch than a snack!!
A wonderful experience and a chance to get close to nature. We saw three species of monkeys, lizards, many types of birds, sloths, and diverse vegetation. Our guide, Jess (or Yess/Jazz :)), shared fascinating stories about the wildlife and plants, as well as Panama's history and interesting facts. With a great sense of humor, he turned an ordinary tour into an interactive experience. Adan, our driver, got us everywhere quickly yet safely, and the speedboat captain provided an unforgettable thrill ride. There was an abundance of snacks, fruit, and water. I definitely recommend it—it’s a 10-star experience!
This was honestly the BEST tour I’ve ever been on! 🥰🌴🐒 It was my son’s birthday, and our amazing tour guide Jazz made sure we had an unforgettable experience! 🎉💙 Jazz was absolutely AMAZING! He spoke clear English, was very knowledgeable, and made sure we got the chance to feed the monkeys. 🐒🍌 Snacks & fresh fruits were included with the tour, and the hike was beautiful too! 🌿🥾 The tour was not only fun but also very educational. We learned so much and even got the opportunity to see the sloths! 🦥😍 If you’re looking for a tour that is reasonably priced and gives you A LOT for what you pay for, this is definitely the one to book! 🙌🏽✨ Thank you, Jazz, for making my son’s birthday so special! 🎂💙 We truly enjoyed every minute! #BahamaMamas #BahamaBoy #BestTour #BahamasAdventures #FamilyMemories
Exceptional experience! It is truly incredible to see pristine places, sloths, and monkeys near Panama City.
I highly recommend the tour. They come to pick you up and take you back to the hotel. Manolo was the guide and made all the difference by bringing a lot of curiosity. Seeing the monkeys up close was very cool.
It was great and you get to feed the monkey when they come on the boat and the tour guide is really awesome
