Highlights

Step off the beaten path and experience the famous Monkey Island and Panama Canal like few travelers ever do. This isn’t just a boat ride — it’s a front-row seat to one of the world’s engineering marvels surrounded by untouched rainforest. As massive cargo ships glide past, you’ll explore the quiet backwaters of Gatun Lake where playful monkeys often approach the boat, giving you an up-close look at their natural behavior. Along the way, your guide will help you spot sloths lounging in the trees, colorful toucans and parrots overhead, crocodiles sunning on the shore, and countless other exotic species that call this unique ecosystem home. Combining world-class wildlife viewing with the awe of being inside the Panama Canal, this tour delivers a truly unforgettable adventure.
