What a wonderful tour! Great for maximizing opportunities outside of the city. The boat into the canal was great — and we saw three kinds of monkeys! A boa, too! The aerial tram was tranquil and peaceful, and we enjoyed the sloth+butterfly+poison frog sanctuary. (Don’t forget about the lovely trees and variety of flora.) We also were alone on our tour, which was a surprise. Oh, and there’s a lunch buffet at the Gamboa Reserve. This is a bit pricier than other options, but it includes more and it’s worthwhile. Only 45 minutes from the city and you’re in a rain forest… it doesn’t get better than that. This tour captures it.

Honestly such a great experience! The taxi driver and guide Jonny was awesome, such a nice guy and very helpful and informative! Definitely would recommend to everyone visiting, experiencing the life the tribe lives and an insight into how they live and work with the tools and nature’s around them was very eye opening. The water fall too was very cool, we got to jump off the cliff behind it and take some amazing photos!

It was great to see the workings of the Panama Canal from your boat - an experience you do not have in a large cruise ship. Uncle Marty was great in providing information throughout the cruise. Highly recommend.
