4 of us used Rudy's tours for a sightseeing trip. he also took us to colon and picked us up after we did a cruise. He was just fantastic. Very knowledgable of the country. Anything we wanted to see he took us there. Had a wonderful lunch with views of the city. I highly recommend him if you want to... More

Excellent! ... but booking was a problem. We had to use an outfit called Roadrunner to book - we had problems booking directly with Carl. That said, this is an entertaining and worthwhile adventure even if you've cruised through the locks already, which we did. On top of the nature cruise and canal information you get a locally prepared tasty... More

Mario led our tour for the day with Alhandro on the boat, they seemed well informed about where to find the many crocs, and monkeys., Exotic birds throughout, iguanas languishing around.

The tour was fantastic - waterfalls, monkeys, all kinds of birds, caymen crocodiles, it was all terrific. Carl is an excellent guide and host. He runs a... More

Simply an amazing gataway so close to Panama City, but hidden deep in the jungle on the Gatun Lake, a simply great guy, Carl, is living on his home-boat. You can ask Carl for just a day-tour, but consider to stay a night there. We stayed there overnight, enjoyed the sounds of the wildlife, waking up and kayaked to jewels... More

I work on ships and have always wanted to see the canal. The guys I work with that have seen it say the lake (Gatun) is beautiful. The Gatun Explorer tour is the perfect way to see it. They picked us up at our hotel in Casco Viejo and drove us to the dock where we boarded the boat. On... More
