Monkey Tour — Gamboa & Gatún Lake

Approx. 4.5 hoursDuration
$250 for 2 people+$50 per additional person

Hop aboard for an unforgettable journey through the lush heart of Panama, where nature meets history and adventure greets you at every bend. The Monkey Tour is a half-day escape into one of the most vibrant ecosystems in the world, offering rare glimpses of exotic wildlife and a front-row seat to the legendary Panama Canal in action.

Your experience begins with a comfortable ride from your hotel to Gamboa, a jungle town nestled at the edge of Gatún Lake — a massive, man-made marvel that powers the Panama Canal. From there, you’ll board a motorized boat and cruise for approximately 75 minutes through a wonderland of waterways, gliding alongside massive cargo ships and spotting wild monkeys swinging through the trees.

Keep your eyes peeled for capuchins, howlers, and tamarins, as well as crocodiles, toucans, iguanas, and sloths. Your guide will share the fascinating history of Gatún Lake, its importance to global trade, and the ecological treasures of the Gamboa region.
