Nature experts that bring Lake Gatun to life - First our guide Ariel was so knowledgeable. I leant a lot about Panamanian nature from monkey families to the great bird spotting. We got up and close to the monkeys and were able to feed. Definitely a top recommendation from me. You don’t just get to experience sloths but also butterflies and dart frogs.

Great trip and great tour! - This was a fantastic way to get outside of the city and see more of the beautiful country of Panama. Ricardo was an awesome guide and shared a lot about the history, the culture, and some great humor. They confirmed with us the night before, were promptly on time (Miguel was a great driver), and we had an awesome day. Would highly recommend!

Loved it! - Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about all things Panama, the canal, and the rainforest. It was such a great experience seeing the boats heading to the canal, visiting the monkeys and have them climb all over our boat, and seeing the sloths/butterflies/frogs. Highly recommend!

Great fun tour - Had a fantastic time as did my daughters. Well organized. Fun boat trip particularly boating right by a large container ship in the canal. Sanctuary was fun but pictures on proximity to sloths are a bit misleading. Highly recommend.

An Amazing and Informative Day -- Highly Recommended - We had an amazing day that we would recommend to anybody visiting the Panama City area! Our guide, Juan, picked us up in a comfortable car right from our AirBnB and brought us back later, making sure we didn't have to worry about any transportation at all. He was clearly very educated and well-informed about the wildlife in the area. We saw monkeys, bats, lizards of various sorts, even a sloth in the wild! The Sloth Sanctuary was great, and features much more than just the sloths, including a very interesting butterfly house and poison frog enclosure. Really amazing time, and we're so glad we went!
