Amazing Monkey Boat Tour at Panama Canal
+3 photos
Looking for monkeys and finding them in their natural habitat is so much fun. While you are in awe enjoying them, we learn cool facts and we take the best pictures for your IG. The ride on a local boat at rje lake is smoooooth and relaxing. We actively search for 3 of the panamanian amazing monkeys: Howlers, the White Faced Capuchins and the tiny tamarin. Of course we keep the eye open for anything that moves: sloths, birds and more. On top of that, you witness our famous Panama Canal in action. Expect raw, organic, unplanned, go with the flow kind of tour. Much more than a scriped itinerary. . You get on the boat and we take care of the rest.
Larger groups pay less per person.
Out at sunset: the 2:30 PM departure is under way when the sun sets, around 5:55 PM in the coming weeks.

We will go through this jungle, by car and may stop, if an animal is passing by. We do our very best to find monkeys, a sloth, the leaf cutter ants and simply enjoy the magic of the panamanian rainforest.
We will enjoy a beautiful Private, relaxing ride on the Panama Canal Gatun Lake, next to the huge ships transiting from Ocean to Ocean.
