We booked this thru TripAdvisor instead of the ship since the ship's excursions were already full. We are so glad we did; we paid about the same or less and were the only four in our group. We saw others out on water and their boats were full. Out boat had about seats for about 15, but only us four passengers, the guide and the driver. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We could not have asked for anything else. We had about a 45-minute bus ride to the boat dock, then 2.5+ hours on the water in the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake looking for Monkeys on the islands. We were able to spot 2 of the 3 species that live there, the White-Faced Monkey was hiding that day.
