Excellent Ancon Hill tour - Excellent tour guide with a great young man who helped him. I had been to ANCON Hill before but this tour taught me so much. Saw toucans and tamarinds and numerous other birds. Plants were identified and the information provided was amazing

Juan Carlos - Incredible Eye - Excellent hike with views that must be seen. Juan Carlos knowledgeable guide and hospitable personality. We were a group of 6 and the pace was perfect. Juan Carlos has an incredible eye for spotting all sorts of creatures. Under his guidance we saw monkeys, various birds, sloth, snakes and so much more. This experience is a must for anyone visiting Panama City.

Explore PANAMAS colorful wildlife! - Our tour guide, Rafael, is very charismatic and kind. He created a one of a kind experience for us. He patiently guided us through a beautiful and lush world of Vegetation where we were able to see several types of Sloth’s, multiple Tucan’s, cute agoutis, a family of Monkeys as well as a huge variety of birds. It was rewarding to catch a sight of Panamas wonderful wildlife. He educated us throughout the beautiful walk with interesting facts and his huge knowledgeable.

Great Morning Hike - Great hike with our guide Luis, who was knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see several of the critters I was hoping to see as well as spectacular views. It’s not a long hike, though a little steep, but done at a very easy pace. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful nature excursion with fantastic guide, Rafael - Amazing guide Rafael. He knows the history of his country as well as animals and plants. We arrived in time for sunrise and saw lots of animals: Agouti, sloths, toucans, parrots, a pretty red bird and a poison dart frog. I had a great time and Rafael took some awesome photos for me.

Afternoon walk - Afternoon walk is completely different from the morning description. No sunrise, no snacks, just a hot walk with views and animal spotting. Saw a sloth, toucan, parrot, poison arrow frog, banana spiders, and rodent of unusual size.

It was a good experience... - It was a good experience although I would have done it solo and anyone could go on their own without a guide. I got to learn about Panama, the rainforests and the animals, only downside we couldn’t see any animals coming out except for frogs, ants, dove and kookoopadda. The price of this excursion shouldn’t have been this high in my opinion.
