Amazing - This was the best part of our trip! We were able to take all 21 of us, drive us from our hotel to the waterfall and we were able to repel down the waterfall.

Adrenalin Rush in the Rainforest with Great Instructors David, Jonathan and Logistical Staff and Interesting Tour of the Sanctua - My 87- year old husband and I went on this tour on Sunday. Let me begin by saying Raissa the coordinator was great at coordinating the logistics and keeping in touch. Our pickup driver Oscar was fantastic. He is a native Panamaian with a wealth of knowledge about the canal and the entire history of Panama. He is also very funny and entertaining. We began the tour with the zipline. We had never done this before and I was a bit apprehensive but the great team of strong and experienced young men, Jonathan, David, Jose and the logistical team were terrific. They carefully went over the equipment and put us at ease right away. You start with a low practice line and then go higher and longer each time. All 3 guys were with us the entire time and were more then helpful at each stage. The ziplining itself was a great adrenalin rush and a lot of fun. After zipping we went to the Slough Sanctuary right next door. We saw many species of native butterflies. orchids and small very colorful frogs. The highlight of course was seeing the sloughs. There were 4 individusls all hanging from their own tree limb, up on a stage inside the habitat. I have heard people on this forum complain that the animals should be in the wild. Those who said that did not pay attention to the guide who explained they were all rescued from car accidents and parental abandonment and could not survive in the wild and NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH OR HOLD THEM. The narrator did a good job of explaining about them and their typical life style and answered all questions. They are quite cute and worth seeing up close because you'll never get that close to them in the wild!

Awesome Experience! - My husband and I booked the Zipline and Sloth Sanctuary Tour with Embera Tours and we were not disappointed! Bill, our tour guide, was extremely kind and shared his vast knowledge of Gamboa and the Panama Canal. 10/10 would recommend!

Embers Tours was a fantastic find during our visit to Panama. Great communication, friendly, informative & punctual. - Raissa’s communication & explanation while booking the excursion was second to none. We were picked up at our Air B&B by Raissa and her driver. They both spoke excellent English & we felt like they were old friends of ours. The drive was a little on the long side, but it went very fast as Raissa gave us great information about the area as we drove. The excursion itself was fantastic. We all had a lot of fun. Our group consisted of 4 adults & our 9 year old daughter. Everything was explained exceptionally by the staff there & we all felt safe on the ziplines! The Sloth Sanctuary was great & very informative. It was much more detailed than I expected. A pleasant surprise for sure. I would recommend Raissa & Embers Tours to anyone who visits the Panama area. FIVE STARS ACROSS THE BOARD!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Monkey Island! - Working with the Embera team was incredibly easy and we can't wait to come back! Bill was great at making sure we could fit everything we wanted into the day. Don't overthink it, just book with Bill and Raissa!

Horrible Experience - I would not recommend this “private tour” at all. This is basically an extremely expensive uber experience. Save yourself $110. The “tour guide” just drove us to the location we had to pay for the experience and the tour guide sat in his car waiting for us… took one picture in a location that was completely random and full of people in the background. Truly a scam.

Do NOT Book This Tour! - The driver picked us up 1 hour late! It was NOT a private tour! The only thing this tour offers is a ride to and from the activity. I could have saved $400 by taking an Uber each way. And I wouldn't have been Late!
