Bravo to the Monkey Island Privado group - Our tour guide, Ruben was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and informative. He knew exactly where to go to find the monkeys and he even let us feed them. We highly recommend this tour. Being a very small group, it was more tailored to our needs and much more personal.

Great tour of monkey island - We had a very good day. We saw howler monkeys, white faced monkeys and tamarin monkeys. We were able to feed the monkeys. We also saw a large iguana sunning himself. Our guide Ricardo was really great. And could not have been better.

Experience not to be missed - Something special to celebrate my wife’s birthday! Early pickup from our hotel in Casco Viejo. About 45m later we arrived at the dock at Lake Gatun. I booked a private tour, just the two of us. Great boat and skipper. He knew all the places where the monkeys were waiting for us. What an experience! They came to us on the boat and were eating peanuts, bananas and grapes out of our hands. So cute. The skipper also pointed out lizards and crocodiles. We passed a few tankers on the way to the Pacific. It was certainly worthwhile to have a private tour as we had the undivided attention of the monkeys and the great guide Ruben. He brought us safely back to the hotel.

We took the 1 pm tour. I... - We took the 1 pm tour. I was afraid with it being in the heat of the day that we wouldn't see much wildlife. I was definitely wrong! We saw all 3 types of monkeys (super close), a sloth, 2 crocodiles, a turtle, a caracara, an iguana, a "Jesus" lizard and passed right by a huge cargo ship in the canal! Wonderful experience!!!
