This tour not only showcases the typical wildlife of the rainforest, but also from a unique place in the world: Lake Gatun, part of the Panama Canal. Observing monkeys in the open, seeing crocodiles, tropical birds and even large boats transiting the canal, all on the same route, creates an experience impossible to replicate elsewhere.

While most tours end at the pier, this includes an authentic stop at a fruit market, where visitors can sample fresh Panamanian pineapple, considered one of the sweetest in the world. This moment connects travelers with local agriculture and gives the tour a very special flavor, literally.

When you arrive at the Marina de Gamboa, you will embark on a boat tour of Gatun Lake, one of the most important sections of the canal. During this walk, you will sail between small islands covered in rainforest until you reach the famous Monkey Island.
