Awesome Tour with Alex - We had a great time on the Panama Jungle Adventure with Alex. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very observant. We were delighted to encounter three types of monkeys on the river cruise and saw a variety of birds on the jungle walk. Highly recommend this tour with Alex!

MUST DO EXCURSION!! - If you are in Panama I highly suggest doing this tour and if you can request the tour guide Alex. Alex was amazing and truly exceptional as a tour guide, from start to finish he was active and very informative of all the culture and nature during the excursion. We first started off with Alex picking us up and bringing us to the boat tour, and the reason I say to request Alex is for this reason, while on the boat tour he was super helpful and very enthusiastic, he made it his job that when we got to the different spots to see the different animals that we get up close and personal, he also brought food for the animals to attract them to our boat and even gave us the food for the Monkeys to grab from our hands. After the boat tour we started our adventure of hiking the national park, and don’t worry this isn’t a 5 hour hike, 30 minutes in and 30 minutes out was perfect. Now the point of the hike is to see and learn more about the nature and animals of Panamá which Alex did an amazing job of stopping multiple times and telling us about the nature as well as always keeping his eyes open for the different animals, we went during rainy season so with the animals it’s either a hit or miss but the boat tour makes up for it! (He was also very prepared and brought us rain ponchos which kept us dry). Me and my partner truly had an amazing time on this tour and Alex was a huge part of it, he’s hard working and truly cares about what he does. It makes all the difference when doing these tours and excursions as without him it wouldn’t have been as informative as it was. Definitely a must do!!

One of my favorite day trips in Panama - One of my favorite day trips in Panamá! Alex is very knowledgeable about the area and great at his job. He had the monkeys eating out of the palms of our hands in within minutes, many other tours who offer the same service waited much longer. We got up close and personal with 2 of the 3 different species of monkeys. One even got curious and started playing with my girl's hair. I absolutely recommend that you book this tour. Get the more expensive version where he picks you up and drops you off at a nearby hotel of your choosing. Absolutely worth it since you won't find any Ubers to drop you back off in the city.

Awesome - Tour was amazing. Alex our tour guide was on time, had much knowledge, and gave great energy throughout the entire excursion. The boat ride on the canal was everything i expected to be very beautiful and relaxing. Seeing the monkeys on the boat ride was an awesome experience and the hike was really nice getting to see monkeys and even a sloth.
