Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Duncan D2 contributionsGo very early! Monkeys won't visit your boat if they are already fed by previous boats. They will be sleeping with their tummies full. Bring bug spray too and cameras.Written 11 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Noah S1 contributionI had a great experience in the jungle and would always recommend it. Jim was a cool and fun guide who explained us alot and always kept a good mood. Also thanks for the vegan/vegetarian food options. I think day 2 and 3 were by far the best days of the tour! All the national parks I in Costa Rica didn't come close to the experience I had during the jungle tour, the feeling of being on your own and part of the jungle.Written 23 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Adam S8 contributionsWe took this tour when we came to Panama. The water was really really low which is no fault of the service just mankind. My little daughter had an amazing time and I have never experiences a cave tour like this before. We were in Panama City and they came and picked us up and dropped us off.Written 2 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TrvlForFnSunnyvale, CA33 contributionsWe didn’t know basically anything about Panamá prior to this tour. Eric, our tour guide is very dynamic, friendly and very knowledgeable. While on the tour, Eric provided just enough information to keep us captivated. Eric took us through the entire social spectrum of Panama City. We came to know that like many countries and places in the world, Panama is a very beautiful place. While staying here in Panama City and nearby towns, the people are unbelievably polite and friendly. Eric took us to Miraflores Locks in Panama Canal. We saw a few big ships passing through the Locks in the canal, which was fun to watch. Overall we really enjoyed this tour and will strongly recommend it!Written 19 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mandy mSouthampton, UK55 contributionsBooked our tour via TUI ( Marella Cruises)
We were met by some of the tribe and were taken to the village in a wooden boat.
The tribe were very welcoming & we felt very privileged to meet them & tour their village, see where & how they lived. It was really interesting to hear about the history of the tribe & their way of life. We were given fresh fruit & the freshest fish I have ever tasted. Totally recommend visiting & we would love one day to return to the village.Written 22 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- benjohansson777Irmo, SC6 contributionsAdventures Panama is everything we hoped and more! We had a wonderful experience with them climbing chame, seeing beautiful views, learning some history of Panama, and seeing lots of wildlife! Our tour guide was very informative and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best time. We are going to do the sunset kayaking with them tomorrow and definitely will book with them again! If you are looking to really experience Panama and all that it has to offer, these are the people you want to book with!Written 8 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Udaya R3 contributionsPedro is an excellent guide with a great sense about Panamanian history. We saw the Canal, causeway and the old city . Pedro took time to explain the architecture, the history and the culture etc. Ended up going to an excellent Panamanian RestaurantWritten 9 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lauchlieOakville, Canada15 contributionsThis tour was amazing! Joshua was so knowledgeable and told us so many interesting facts about whales. Having a zoologist as your guide is amazing! He had tools and tricks to share, like a microphone to listen to the whales sing, and a drone so he can tell us exactly what is happening from above. We saw at least 5 or 6 different pods of whales, humpbacks and sperm whales. We even saw some dolphins off in the distance. They served us lunch and snacks when we got to the beach and the food was amazing! Joshua served us himself, talk about making sure he took care of us. The beach on Isla Chapera was beautiful, with white sand and crystal clear water. The snorkelling was good, we saw lots of colourful fish and some coral reef. 100% recommend this tour, and we look forward to it again next year! Thanks Joshua!Written 16 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Zephyrlaura5 contributionsOur Monkey adventures trip was absolutely amazing, our guide, Oliver, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, his English was excellent and he shared a wealth of knowledge about the history of Panama, the canal, and the plants and animals on the lake. The lake trip was so great!! our captain, Isaac, was friendly and considerate and was able to make sounds of different animals and called the monkeys to us! we saw capuchin, tamarind and howler monkeys, as well as iguanas, many types of birds, and even a sloth! Then we went to the sloth sanctuary and got to see many sloths, an anteater, a butterfly house full of gorgeous butterflies in a lovely ecosystem, as well as an orchid garden, and an area with tiny poisonous frogs. It was an unforgettable experience and very much worth the cost. I highly recommend this company!

Our guide Ismael was local and very knowledgeable and supportive, and he hosted us at his home so we got to meet his wonderful family. They were great hosts and it was a cool experience to eat with them and stay in their home. The jungle was beautiful but definitely hot and humid so bring plenty of water, and it was neat to see the stone path built so long ago and imagine all the conquistadors and pirates who walked along the very same stones. Overall I would definitely rec this tour as a good way to get out of Panama City and explore the jungle and beautiful nature Panama has to offer!Written 20 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charis M12 contributionsMy daughters and I booked the Monkey Island & Indigenous Village tour with New Leaf Panama Eco Tours and it did not disappoint! Our guide, Tereza picked us up from our hotel along with a few others that joined us on the tour. To start, she shared her fascinating history. She educated us on many things Panama along the way to the docks. Tereza is a wealth of knowledge! She provided great detail as to what to expect throughout the day along with valuable safety info. Once on the boat we stopped at 8 different islands to maximize our interaction with the monkeys. Terra is highly skilled and monkeys came into our boat for us to feed. We also saw birds, crocodiles, huge iguanas and 3 types of monkeys! Going into the indigenous village of the Wounaan people was a privilege. We learned so much and Tereza’s rapport with the people made all the difference. Their trust in her was obvious which I believe allowed them to feel comfortable sharing their life with us. All in all I 100% recommend this tour and will certainly book with New Leaf again.Written 1 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
