Amazing trip! So beautiful, each of the islands were a must see and the lunch was delicious. I would recommend the prawns and pineapple juice drink to everyone!

Tour was absolutely amazing. Entered the canal at the highest point and saw a whole multitude of wildlife around Gatun Lake which was formed by damming the Chagres River. Our tour guide, Pauli, and bus driver, Manual, of Panama Day Trips, were extraordinary. Pauli was so knowledgeable about all the animals, insects, and biodiversity of the rain forests that it was so educational. I was amazed at how much she knew about everything we were seeing. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour company as well as Pauli and Manual!

The experience of going through the canal is amazing. Being able to experience the locks and listen to the history is awesome.
Like many before me have said. The boat is overcrowded and if you are not first on the boat you will get stuck in the lower levels which is fine but you can hardly see. We ended up all the way on the lower level next the restrooms. The good thing the lower levels have AC.
The lunch is okay. If you vegan or vegetarian don’t expect anything more than a salad for lunch.
Overall it was a great experience just wish the folks who ran it would be more considerate of the people who booked.

Went out with Almiza tours, our Guides were amazing, Daniel gave us some great narrative history on Panama, the Canal and the area we were touring. Great efforts on looking for Crocodiles, turtles and other animals along the way. Going in the morning makes the most sense as the monkeys are active and filling up on the peanuts that we gave out. Lots of activity from the white-faced monkeys running around the boat, very fun and safe. I could have stayed out all day (the weather helped with that). FYI you have a a 45 min bus ride to the docks and it takes about 15 minutes or so on the water to get out to the area where you see animals.

We started with a boat trip on the canal passing some bug ships and then continuing to see the wild life. Back on the coach we passed through several interesting places arriving at the new locks on the Atlantic side. These visitor experience here is much less crowded than at Miraflores. We then went in to visit Fort San Lorenzo a very good lunch was provided. The fort has a lot of history and was again not busy. Out guide John was very knowledgeable with perfect English. Outstanding overall experience.

We had such a great time exploring the old town with Alex! It was a truly enjoyable afternoon filled with fun discoveries. Alex was not only a great guide but also really knowledgeable and flexible, making the experience even better. This was an excellent way to dive deep into Panama's culture, and it left us with a newfound appreciation for the country. We'll definitely cherish these memories

We were amazed with Jose Odiaga's hospitality, such a wonderful person, guide and host, he took us to the mentioned areas, showed us around, explained everything in detail for us, it was an amazing experience, we couldn't have gotten a better guide, if you are ever in Panama, this is the best tour to go on and the best person to take you would be Jose, make sure to ask for him.

Daniel was an incredible guide. My wife and I enjoyed this trip so much! Loved riding in the Panamá Canal & seeing a few large ships. The amount of wildlife we saw far exceeded our expectations. Toucans, 3 different types of monkeys, a sloth in the wild, & even a crocodile were the highlights! Feeding the monkeys was so much fun. Poison frogs were really cool. Going to the Sloth Sanctuary & seeing them up close was amazing. We so recommend that you take this excursion during your time in Panamá - totally 100% worth it!!

This experience was great! From the staff, to the music even the food for lunch was good. This is the perfect couples date to see the beautiful water Taboga has. And also, when they say open bar the mean it. Drinks from the time we got on the water until stepping off the boat 8 hours later. They brought the vibes and I’m so glad the weather held out so my wife and I could experience this!

Loved the experience. You get to navigate through the canal, see and engage with wild(ish) monkeys, and then visit a nearby Embera village. Our son who's 7 really loved it, and we liked the experience too. The giode was great as well! Definitely recommended specially if you are traveling with young kids.
