Overview

This boat tour explores the Panama Canal and its surrounding wildlife over about three and a half hours. After pickup from downtown Panama City or Casco Viejo, the group travels by air-conditioned vehicle to the Chagres River. Along the way, the driver-guide points out several landmarks of interest. At the river, the tour switches to a boat that enters the Panama Canal, passing large ships to reach Gatun Lake. At Gatun Lake, the boat visits a protected group of islands where passengers have the chance to see local animals such as monkeys, sloths, crocodiles, iguanas, and various birds. The guide helps spot and identify these species during the outdoor excursion. Bottled water is provided, and admission fees are included. The tour returns by the same route to the original pickup point. Because this tour takes place outdoors in jungle and lake areas, there are no toilet facilities available during the trip. Guests are advised to use the bathroom before pickup, which is confirmed the night before the tour.
