Gatun Lake

Visit Monkey Island and spot playful monkeys; including capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, and tamarins. Your boat ride offers a front-row seat to both wild nature and international maritime traffic, as giant cargo ships cruise by just moments away from untouched rainforest. It’s a rare opportunity to experience the natural and man-made wonders of Panama side by side. A perfect eco-adventure for nature lovers, families, and wildlife enthusiasts!

Ran on time with personable tour guides (Daniel the tour guide, Cpt. Jack Sparrow the boat captain, Juliette the wildlife spotter, and Bryan the bus driver). Good views of wildlife (howler monkeys, titi monkeys, and capuchin monkeys, tiny bats).
