Attila was a fantastic host and very knowledgeable about the Monkey Islands. It's not guaranteed that you will see monkeys and other wildlife but we were able to see so much. It was such an amazing experience!
Derek
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! He picked us up right on time and immediately made us feel welcome. Throughout the drive he shared incredible stories about Panama's history and wildlife.

We had an amazing time on the monkey tour in Panama, thanks to our host. He was punctual, even helping us find a better pick-up spot since we were a bit out of the way.
