Guided Jungle Adventure with Gatun Lake Cruise - We enjoyed our trip with Alex a lot, he is very knowledgeable about the wildlife he answered all our questions enthusiastically and pointed out all the animals that showed up that day. At the end of the tour he recommended us a traditional food market where we had fantastic lunch. We highly recommend a trip with Alex 😁🦜

Great guide, great tour - Saw tons of animals, monkeys, birds, sloths. The boat tour was fun and informative. Hiking was fantastic and we had an amazing guide Alex who answered all our questions and spotted animals we would have never seen ourselves. He was great with our kids as well. Highly recommended.

Monkeys Everywhere!!!! - Our trip was over all Amazing!!!! Our tour guide Alex made sure we had the full experience. Before we made it he pulled over on the side of the road to make sure we were able to get a close look at a 3 toed sloath hanging out in the tree. On the boat ride we got up close to the monkeys. Both me and my husband were able to feed them right out of our hands . Finally the hike allowed us to see many different birds. Alex was able to identify the bird species by their calls. This tour was a must see and definitely a highlight of our trip!!!

Charming and informative - The views were amazing! Manolo was charming and informative. We got to see some 3 finger and 2 finger sloths with Manolo's telephoto lens. We saw capuchin monkies up close, in the boat! This trip was worth every penny!

The best jungle cruise you will ever take down Gatún Lake! - Thank you to Alex, that went above and beyond for this excursion! Alex did not know this, but my father died last year from lung cancer. He grew up as a child in one of the US military bases while my grandfather was stationed there in the late 1950’s. My father told me and my children of his amazing adventures and memories he had in Panama. And we came here to remember him and live his lost adventure. Alex literally gave me and my family the most memorable adventure. My kids cannot stop talking about feeding monkeys and seeing a crocodile! He was also a wealth of knowledge, so much so that my father in law called him captain google! I cannot thank you, Alex, enough. You have given us a wonderful everlasting memory.

Despite doing most of... - Despite doing most of this tour in a downpour, we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Richard was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Canal and the history of Panama as well. We enjoyed the boat ride, stopping at the island for the monkeys to feed from our hands. He took us to a resort afterwards to get a coffee and a respite from the rain. The resort was a beautiful place to stop. Our walk in the rainforest was instead a short ride, but we didn't mind as we were wet enough, and we still got to see a sloth resting in a tree. We would highly recommend this tour, and Richard as a tour guide.
