Panama Canal and Monkey Island in Gatun Lake

Experience the Panama Canal from two incredible perspectives: the tropical nature of Lake Gatun and the live operation of the locks. The adventure begins at the Gamboa Pier, where we sail through Gatun Lake, a key part of the Channel Basin. As we roam the forest and calm waters, you will be able to observe wildlife such as monkeys, crocodiles, iguanas, hawks and sloths (sightings depend on nature). We will visit the famous Monkey Islands, where you can see species such as marmosets/tamarins and capuchin monkeys in their habitat. Then we will go to the Visitor Center, where you will understand how the Canal works and see the transit of ships in real time in this wonder of world engineering. This tour is ideal if you are looking for an experience that combines wildlife, scenery and the Canal in one day. Does not include a visitor center ticket. ✅ Private boat (only your group) ✅ Transport with A/C, bottled water and local guide ✅ Bookings from 1 person
