DaMarcus – United StatesMay 10, 2023 – Verified booking

Had an awesome time, we saw the beautiful canal, monkeys, birds, turtles and lizars. Including ships near the canal. This was a good trip, with time left to enjoy the city. The guides were good at getting the animals to come up to us. The boat ride was generally smooth. We had a good day. I recommend the tour. Family, Single, or Couple firendly.

We loved the proximity to the monkeys, it was seen that unlike other boats, ours reached more points where the monkeys were closer. The guide is very good at explaining everything and the transport is comfortable and with air conditioning. I highly recommend it.

Everything was very well organized and it was a lot of fun. I can recommend the excursion! I would just take a towel in case it rains that day. We were glad that we could then put the towel in the boat to sit on,
