Amazing Experience on Monkey Islands !! - This was an amazing experience! We saw multiple species of monkeys, crocodiles, iguanas and many birds! The monkeys climbed into our boat, and took fruit easily from our hands. They are semi-used to human interaction so they jumped right on board once we got close. We saw a juvenile monkey and he played with our guide, wasn’t even interested in food

Perfect Daytime Get-a-way - Fun boat trip to get out of Panama City and experiencing the Canal versus only “seeing” it. We saw plenty of wild life snd even fed Monkeys. Our guide Alex was awesome and made everything very easy and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour.
