What To Expect
Panama City
Step into the heart of the great Panamanian rainforest, a lush, vibrant ecosystem teeming with diverse wildlife and exotic plants. This natural wonder is home to rich biodiversity, where you can experience the sights and sounds of tropical birds, monkeys, and colorful flora. A true paradise for nature lovers, the rainforest offers an unforgettable glimpse into one of the world’s most pristine environments.

Meet the incredible Gatun Lake, a key player in flooding the Panama Canal and one of the largest artificial lakes in the world. Created to provide the necessary water for the canal’s operations, the lake is surrounded by lush jungle and dotted with monkey islands—small islets where troops of monkeys thrive. This stunning natural wonder offers a unique blend of history, wildlife, and breathtaking beauty, making it a must-see on any Panama adventure!

5.00We booked this tour on our last day in Panama, and so happy we did. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this experience and our guide, Mike. He is one of the most impressive guides I have ever personally experienced…extremely knowledgeable, personable and funny…and did everything to make our experience the best. We were picked up at our hotel exactly on time, and Fatima drove us safely to our locations while Mike gave us history and knowledge about Panama. Gatun Lake is absolutely beautiful, and the monkeys coming into our boat and eating out of our hands was such an incredible experience. From there, we did a rainforest hike- Mike knew SO much about the animals, plants and other wildlife in the forest. We also stopped for brunch and had an authentic Panamanian breakfast…the food was delicious. Everything about this tour was on-point. This was the perfect way to end our trip and we are so grateful to Mike and Fatima. You will not be disappointed with this excursion…a definite must-do!
Great experience! Great guide!
