Informative tour from accommodating guide! - This tour was accommodating through and through. Driver was punctual and communicated thoroughly. The tour guide, Mario was very informative on the canal, wild life and culture of Panama on the way to the lake. He also provided peanuts for us to feed the monkeys and made sure we were satisfied with our photos. The tour wasn’t too long where it felt mundane or too short where it felt vague so I thought it was perfect. 10/10

Our tour guide, Daniel... - Our tour guide, Daniel was great and very informative! He provided us with food to attract the white face monkeys to the boat. Also he and our boat captain, Carlos were great with spotting other wildlife for us to see. We saw a sloth, alligator, bats, capybara, and a blue bird. The trip was great, informative, and the time spent on the trip was just the right amount. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Panama.

Beautiful Lake Gatun experience - This tour was so well worth it. Hotel pick up was easy and convenient which put it off to a great start. The tour guide Daniel was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Once in the boat, the captain Carlos had an eagle eye to spot all the wildlife as Daniel told us details about all the animals and plants we saw. I would recommend this experience or any trip provided by Almira Tours.
