Fantastic! Well worth it. - The best part was the tour guide Michael! His kindness shown to other tour groups that needed help, to his knowledge of his community and the rainforest, to random questions we had about leaf cutter ants, and square trees. He is super friendly, kind, and very knowledgeable. The tour was fantastic.

Knowledgeable and unique Gatun lake experience - We found this tour by chance and it was the greatest. The Gatun lake boat tour is unreal. This felt rather offbeat, as Mike try avoids the more touristy route. He is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to give you an experience as genuine as possible. A great communicator, on point, super helpful throughout and mindful of the little ones too. I can highly recommend and would contact Mike when we’ll visit again!

Incredible experience at Monkey Island and the Rainforest - This is one of the best tours I’ve been on in all of my travels! Mike did an amazing job of explaining everything to us! His knowledge of the animals and rainforest is phenomenal! He’s extremely helpful to all of his customers - offering advice and suggestions for many different things. He is very passionate about the environment here and being well-versed in the knowledge of the trees, plants, animals and history of Panama! He went above and beyond to ensure our excursion was an amazing experience as well as our time in Panama!

A Must-Do!! Amazing Experience - We booked this tour on our last day in Panama, and so happy we did. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this experience and our guide, Mike. He is one of the most impressive guides I have ever personally experienced…extremely knowledgeable, personable and funny…and did everything to make our experience the best. We were picked up at our hotel exactly on time, and Fatima drove us safely to our locations while Mike gave us history and knowledge about Panama. Gatun Lake is absolutely beautiful, and the monkeys coming into our boat and eating out of our hands was such an incredible experience. From there, we did a rainforest hike- Mike knew SO much about the animals, plants and other wildlife in the forest. We also stopped for brunch and had an authentic Panamanian breakfast…the food was delicious. Everything about this tour was on-point. This was the perfect way to end our trip and we are so grateful to Mike and Fatima. You will not be disappointed with this excursion…a definite must-do!

Such a blast on the Gamboa tour! - The Monkey Islands were a highlight—those little guys were so curious, swinging around all over the place! Gatun Lake was gorgeous and so peaceful. The rainforest hike was a perfect way to finish the day, especially with our guide showing us all the hidden gems. 10/10 recommend!

Unforgettable Adventure with our guide at Monkey Island - My family and I had an amazing experience with Panama Experience Tours! We visited Monkey Island in the Panama Canal and our guide Miguel made it truly unforgettable. From the moment we boarded the boat, Mike shared fascinating insights about the history and wildlife of the area. We got to see various monkey species up close and personal, and Mike’s knowledge of their behavior and habitat made it even more exciting. His enthusiasm and personal connection to the environment made this trip feel special. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to experience nature in the Panama Canal with a knowledgeable and friendly guide!

Great for families!! - We've just got back from the tour, and I've got to say, it was cracking! The whole family had a brilliant time. Our guide was top-notch, really patient with the kids who were absolutely buzzing. He made sure we all understood everything and we felt safe and looked after the whole time. The highlight for us was definitely the interactions we had with monkeys. All in all, it was a fab day out and I'd recommend it to anyone, especially families. You'll love it!

Amazing - Our guide Mike was amazing, great English and knows all about Panama! I’ve done a lot of tours, but this one was by far the most fun! The monkeys on the islands were a total highlight, and the views from the boat were breathtaking. The hike through the rainforest was a perfect balance of relaxing and adventurous!
