    We had a great time, the tour was well planned, our guide was well informed, friendly and funny; the handling of the monkeys was responsible and the encounters were natural (not forced or awkward) , we can fully recommend the tour

    This tour started out with canoeing then a hike through shallow waters, over rocks leading to a beautiful waterfall. After that, we returned to the community and height downriver to indigenous Village. Hosted to delicious lunch of fried fish fry and plantains with watermelon pineapple mango passion papaya and bananas. The there was dancing and music. An unbelievably beautiful experience.

    Aron was a friendly, helpful, and careful driver - I felt very safe with him. Even though it is a long way to the islands, it is worth it; it is the most idyllic place. The tour also allows you to meet other travelers, which is excellent. Recommend it - it’s a long ride but worth it.

    Terrific introduction to the canal, lake and rainforests. Our guide Paola was very knowledgable and personable. Her enthusiasm is infectious.
    Comfortable van for the ride (30 - 40 minutes) to and from the lake.
    Good communication and information in advance.
    Good value for money.
    Highly recommended.

    THIS IS A MUST. Richard, Emmanuel, and Pablo were the PERFECT host. No need went unnoticed. They were as much fun as they were hardworking. I SO SO appreciate you guys! The ride was great, food was great, (shots were great). If you have the time, make this happen. It so worth it!!! The people on the island were really nice as well.

    Definitely worth doing even if it's a bit pricey and long. Communication was great and pickup on time. We were picked up at 11:10 and didn't get back until 7 pm. So expect about eight hours depending on time through the locks, which is a lot of sitting and waiting, but still worth it. Save your energy and stay down in the AC during the first lock and then stay up for the Miraflores portion and trip back.

    It was very nice to see the monkeys and other wild life animals. The driver Alex picked us up at the exact time and provided us with water. He spoke about the Panama Canal. We saw a few ships sail by from the Panama Canal. We also saw a few locks for example the Pedro Miguel lock which is used for the ships to move from the north to south or south to north (Atlantic Ocean to Pacific lean or the other way around).

    What a special day. The driver brought is from Panama City. It took almost two hours. The first part is a main road and the second is a smaller road that took us to the boat. The roads were not bad at all. We even stopped at a grocery store to get anything else we needdd

    After we boarded, Jenny have us information. Parts will be a bit rough and other areas smooth. She took the time to answer any questions and off we went.

    We had two stops this day, the dinghy taking us to see mangroves on the first stop Very educational and informative to see them.

    The second slot has a beach, corals and fish galore. Oh and I was able to see sloths. One three Todd and the other a two toe. Loved seeing the corals and the many fish. Wrasses, parrotfish, sergeant majors and many more. I spent my time snorkeling to see the coral in the fish, and then hunting around to see sloths. There was even a howler monkey as it tried to pee on me.

    We were also treated to a very delicious lunch. In my case I chose the shrimp and it was outstanding. The garlic was very good the sauce everything was just delicious.

    Then, after this, sadly, we headed back, but I feel like I made a new friend and I’m thankful for the boat and the experience that will last a lifetime.

    I highly recommend this trip, very professional, very kind and helpful and very informative

    The tour itself was wonderful! Piggybacked a freighter, and actually went thru the canal, experiencing the locks, the narrative/info about history, events... as we moved from thru the canal was wonderful.

    What was awful was the pick up at the hotel! Was given a pick up window of between 5:30 - 6:30AM is most inconsiderate! Was staying nearby so walked to Waldorof Astoriat 5:20am, while still dark. Giving a customer an hour time range pick up time is crazy and absolutely poor planning. You gotta do better. Of course, they DIDN'T show up on time. Called emergency contact number twice and both times told be there in 15 minutes. It was almost 7am before bus showed up and never received any communication from them about status. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!

    Stayed one night at isla Aguilar, a quiet island with few people but good snorkeling, all islands are incredibly beautiful places, definitely recommend spending more than a day trip so you have time to enjoy and relax and not only see the crowded islands. Guide was nice, really well organized, safe and friendly driver - would recommend it!
