Cần Quan Tâm
Gatun Lake
We start the day with pick ups in Panama City. Your day begins with a journey into one of the most fascinating intersections of nature and engineering in the world: Gatun Lake, a vast manmade lake that forms a critical part of the Panama Canal. You'll board a covered motorboat and set off on a wildlife safari through its winding channels and jungle-lined shores. As you cruise across the iconic Panama Canal, you’ll glide past enormous cargo ships and ocean liners, sharing the lake with vessels from around the world. Your expert local guide will take you off the main canal route and into the hidden backwaters and narrow inlets where the jungle comes alive. Keep your camera ready for capuchin monkeys, tamarin monkeys howler monkeys, sloths, iguanas, toucans, crocodiles, and even basilisk lizards that run across the water. The boat ride offers both awe-inspiring views and rare up-close encounters with Panama’s diverse wildlife.
Panama Canal
Our destination is Gatun Lake, where we will cruise around islands created during the canal construction and see the abundant wildlife on its shores. We will visit the famous Monkey Islands where we can see capuchins, howlers, and tamarins up close in their natural habitat. Once we finish with our canal and lake boat ride.

5.00We went private which was nice. Our guide Noris was excellent and knowledgable. Included lunch is true panamanian food and delicious. The canal is a testament to human civilization and the deep panamanian history is fantastic to learn about. Highly recommended.
Must book this tour!

5.00I simply cannot give enough praise to Alonso and his company. This tour exceeded expectations in every way. Starting out, traffic was blocked near our pick up point and we couldn’t find the spot where the driver was able to park. Alonso got out of the van and walked about a block and a half to find us and lead us back to the van. The van was clean and comfortable with great air conditioning. Alonso speaks great English and gave us a very informative and interesting tour of the Panama Canal and the history. When we boarded the boat we met our driver and began the boat ride to Monkey Island along the Chagres River. We were able to see a crocodile, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, tamarind monkeys, and many iguanas. Alonso was great at spotting the animals and directing our boat driver to a location where we all had a clear view of them. After our tour we made our way to the restaurant where we were served traditional Panamanian food. The tour description describes the meal as a “brunch” which seemed to us like it might mean a small meal where we might be able to sample a few things. We took the afternoon tour so I’m not sure what it’s like in the morning but our meal was amazing. We were given a menu and could choose from 4-5 different items and drinks (sodas, juice, or beer). The proportions were far bigger than we expected and the food was delicious, highly recommend the passion fruit juice! We left the restaurant fat and happy! 10/10 would recommend this tour and Alonso to any and everyone!
A must if in Panama

5.00Alonso communicated all the details of the trip and itinerary to perfection. He provided us loads of information about Panama, the canal, the environment and the animals. The tour was excellent and Alonso were excellent! We had so much fun and had the opportunity to see 3 kinds of monkeys, birds, and lizards. At the end we had a scrumptious brunch with fresh fruit, it was delicious. Highly recommend!
Great way to start the morning

4.00We did the Monkey & Sloth Canal Boat Safari with Casco Viejo brunch, and our guide Noris was absolutely magical. Her energy stayed positive throughout the entire experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, vibrant, had the answer to every question, and made you feel like you’d known her your whole life. She truly made this one of my favorite experiences in Panama. The tour started with hotel pickup in a comfortable A/C van. From there, we drove to the lake and boarded a boat that took us to Monkey Island. We were able to spot three different types of monkeys and captured some amazing photos and videos along the way. Ironically, the only thing we didn’t see was a sloth , which is funny because it’s in the title of the tour and that’s the only animal not really mentioned in the tour description or brought up during the tour itself. Noris did such an amazing job that I honestly forgot about the sloths until we got back to our room. This is the only thing keeping me from giving 5 star review. After the boat tour, we headed to El Restaurante Nacional for brunch. Fun fact: it was originally the first bank in Panama, and the original vault door is still there. We were given the option of three different meals, and drinks included sangria, beer, and tea (sodas were extra). The food was great, and my sangria definitely did not disappoint. After brunch, we had the option to stay and explore the area or be driven back to the hotel. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and Noris was a huge part of what made it so special.

4.00Overall, the trip was good. Our guide Noris was very good, friendly, and she provided us with a lot of information. The pickup took forever, and unfortunately, we did not see any large ships, but we did see many monkeys and other animals. The food at the end was super delicious - it was a nice outing overall.
Amazing tour

5.00This was a wonderful tour. It exceeded our expectations. We took the 1:30 tour. A very nice, air conditioned bus picked us up and drove us to a beautiful lake, where we got onto a covered boat that could hold 15-20 people. It took us through beautiful green waterways with lush islands where we saw three different types of monkeys, a crocodile, birds, iguanas, and a basilisk. We passed two large ships passing through the canal. And we even saw a sloth on the drive back. The bus brought us back to Casco Viejo, where we ate at a wonderful Panamanian restaurant, where the food was amazing. Noris was the perfect host. We couldn’t have had a better time!
Great time on the Panama Canal Wildlife boat safari

5.00This was a wonderful trip. Our guide was Noris and she was fantastic. Extremely personable. And very outgoing and nice. Tour started with a bus ride to where the boat was. Small boat. I think we had 12 people. Noris gave us lots of history on the way to the boat and then on the boat she continued to give us history of the Panama Canal and the lake we were in. After getting through the main part of the lake we went to several islands. You don’t get out. These are protected areas but the boat pulls right up to the trees. We saw three different types of monkeys, iguanas, a basilisk, a crocodile and several birds. The boat ride was a wonderful way to spend some time. It was very pretty and Noris as well as the boat driver were very good at spotting animals for us to see. Incidentally you are seeing the animals up close. Some of the monkeys came right down to the boat. On the drive back to Casco Viejo the driver of the bus, Manuel, spotted a sloth and we pulled over to get pics. After that we went to dinner and had a great meal. The meal was included. It was a popular restaurant in Casco Viejo. It was really a great trip that we were very happy we did. We definitely recommend.
