The company kept in touch all the time and even sent me tips about our stay in Panama (weather, what we should wear, transportation...). That was a huge plus. We were picked up right on time at Coffee Max and drove to the dock at Gamboa. Due to the high morning traffic, it took us around 40 minutes to arrive. My wife, my 3 year old daughter and myself had lots of fun. The tour guides (Jerin and his father) are very kind and knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable all the time. Being able to interact with the primates, and being that close to nature was an unforgettable experience. After the tour, we took a short hike to a waterfall (Sendero Natural El Charco) and to

This is a great 1/2 day tour. You get to ride a boat on the Gatun Lake, and meet the monkeys! John is great guide, and explain a lot of about Panama history about the canal, the lake, and monkeys. There is no walking for this tour, and very laid back. They will drive you back to your hotel or drop of you off anywhere.

Well organised tour with knowledgable tour guide. Small group and we did not feel like in 'tourist-trap'.
