- Nelly S1 contributionThis tour has been the highlight of my trip. The guide was very informative, polite and friendly. Visiting the village and learning from the native community left me a wonderful experience.
I hope I'll be able to visit them again.Written 25 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The ride was smooth and quite enjoyable. Miguel taught us how to fish and introduced the species from the area as well as the ones we captured. After catching 4 large fish and one medium fish, Miguel introduced us to a restaurant that can cook them for us and it was as delicious since it was very fresh when cooked. Afterwards we went swimming at the nearby beach for a while and then we took our ride back, enjoying the ocean breeze and the scenery of the big ships on the way. An overall perfect day that will be one of my best memories. Thanks Miguel, cheers!Written 9 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WorldtravellerKNHUnited States168 contributionsTao travels confirmed our private tour of Gambao , monkey island, sloth sanctuary. We had paid for the trip and confirmed private tour. Instead on the day - they send a small car and made it a regular tour with others. So no private tour and the car was so small that we had a really difficult time fitting everyone and for the whole day it was extremely inconvenient. Moreover the customer when we called them had a don’t care attitude and rather than figuring out how to fix their screw up were painful. The last thing you want on a vacation is this attitude. Neither will I ever use them, but would suggest any of you to find any other agency (there are literally 100s) for your trip to PanamaWritten 4 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert1702481 contributionWe went to the San Blas, on the Caribbean side of Panama, little archipel you can only visit with a boat. Pure beauty, a big number of incredible islands that you before think they only exist in your dreams. Most of them have no inhabitants, just wonderful clear and colored water, super thin sand and coconut trees.
Oscar the Captain of the boat knows the San Blas by heart, knows where to lead you and make you discover the best spots, where you will be alone with only beauty as neighbour.
Great comfort on the boat, everything to cook good meals, have nice showers, everything very clean and practical.
But maybe the best was the kindness and the hospitality of Oscar and his wife Made, always active to please you and give you the best serviceWritten 26 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would definitely go back.Written 17 March 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MFC31London, UK3,857 contributionsOur experience with Canal & Bay tours is similar it seems to a lot of other people’s. Poor communication or incorrect information yet an amazing experience going through the locks on the canal.
We attempted to contact them 24hrs prior to our tour as requested in their email confirmation. 3 phone calls unanswered, but finally an email response around 830pm!
All of our paperwork suggested breakfast and lunch was to be included as we’d be picked up around 6-630am. The email response mentioned above said a 9am pickup. It became clear throughout the day that they do 2 tours per day. We were on the ‘lunchtime’ tour. Which meant no breakfast, luckily with the later start time we’d grabbed a coffee and a pastry to tie us over until breakfast was served. It never was!
Lunch was served on the boat about 140pm, meaning we’d been on tour for almost 5hrs before we were given any food despite having written evidence saying that breakfast was included!
Throughout the day, there was a lack of communication about what was happening and when. For example, once the boat docked we all got on a bus assuming it’d take us back to the hotel. Luckily, our assumption was correct!
Once we were on the boat, it was a brilliant tour! This part was worth a 5 star rating. Our guide, JC was full of information about the canal, it’s history, political significance and interesting trivia about it. He was engaging and funny, very approachable and just a fun guy.
It’s a real shame his talents as a guide are let down by a terrible run business. For $150US each, I honestly expected better organisation and breakfast!Written 26 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We didn't want to plan the logistics so we booked the 3 hours tour with Panama Canal Corp. We were picked up from the airport ontime and we got to the Canal on time to see two ships passing through, which was the highlight of our tour. Or tour guide was very knowledgeable and he even took us to take picture at the big Panama sign. Thank you Panama Travel Corp for the amazing experience.Written 10 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Jo was brilliant. His hearing and recognition of bird calls was amazing. His spotting of birds second to none. Can't praise him enough.
Jo also lovely man and good driver and more than delivered above our expectations.Written 16 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
