Nature Tours Panama — Local services in Ancón

Not 100% sure we were with. When we arrived in the taxi around 9.45am it was not busy and we were approached by somebody who could take us on the tour. Then someone else came who also wanted to take us. We stuck with the first one. Good decision. Our guide was actively trying to lure the monkeys and did his best to show us different crocodiles. He even showed us the baby crocodiles and carefully caught one of them which we could hold. All with great care. I think the monkeys on monkey island were watching us instead we them. At one point there were like 5 boats with a lot of people in front of the island and everyone trying to lure the monkeys. I had the feeling the monkeys were thinking who are these...

This is where you do the monkey tour! It's just off to the side of the road. Pull over and the guides will immediately approach you.

The tour was just my dad and I, and it was my favorite thing we did in Panama. The monkey (several species) will approach the boat and eat the banana's (provided by the guides) right out of your hand.

The monkey know the drill. Tip, don't close your hand with a banana in it! They will try and bite your hand haha (didn't hurt at all, he made his point and I gave the banana lol)

It's also a great way to see the panama canal, the whole entire trip will be on the canal. We paid about 70 for the two of us,...

Such a fun experience! I read about this place on google and saw the comments on how to negotiate when you get there for the best prices. We were a group of 7 and the boats had enough room for us! Seeing the monkeys up close and personal was an amazing experience and nothing like anything I have done before. It was also really cool to literally be in the Panama Canal and get a little bit of some history from the guides. They were experts in knowing where to go to see different wild life. We saw a Crocodile and 3 different types of monkeys, including babies. It was such an amazing encounter!...
