Beautiful family-friendly kayaking trip - We had a ton of fun on our family kayaking tour on the Chagres River. The surrounding jungle was so beautiful and our guide did a great job highlighting the wonders of the area. He was also really good with our kids, which is always appreciated.

Great experience - We got to see howler monkeys howling, lots of birds, and were about as close to the Canal as kayaks are allowed to get. Christian was an excellent guide, very friendly and helpful.

Great tour guide - Christian was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He knows the area very well! The kayaking was a lot of fun. The weather didn't cooperate 100% with us, but it was a great way to see birds and the river. Overall, a great trip and a good workout!
