Amazing Tour at Monkey Island and Sloth Sanctuary - Great and easy way to explore both attractions. Felix and Raul were amazing guides. They ensured we were well accommodated for the sloth tour and made sure we had the opportunity to see and feed the monkeys.

A must do if you’re visiting Panama! - This is a fantastic tour! Our guide Carlos was fantastic. We got a wonderful up close visits with the monkeys. He took the extra time to make sure we got to see unique sites and sounds. I couldn’t recommend this trip more! Everything was perfect!

Beautiful nature - Beautiful landscape you go on a boat to Gatun lake ( Panama Canal) and might be some monkeys approach the boat but this is not guaranteed. Regarding the sloths I expected to see more, there was just three. So if you expect to see many animals you may be dissapointed. However the nature is nice.

Great Guide, Great Tour - Our tour guide Mike was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, we really enjoyed our tour with him. There was some confusion on if this was a private tour or not while we were observing the monkeys but other than that hiccup everything was perfect. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Large group tour to a sad zoo (not private at all…save your $) - The monkey island part was great and Carlos was a great guide. It all went downhill when we realized this was far from a private tour when we arrived at “sloth sanctuary “…would have been better if it were named a sad, prison for depressed sloths. It was a group of cruise ship goers squished in a little truck to a very sad zoo in a group of 25+ people. Not “private” at all. Do not recommend unless you like to see sad zoos in large crowds. Not what we paid for at all. Do a private monkey island only tour instead and not with this company because they refused even a partial refund for their deception.
