Gatun Expedition: Panama Canal and the Biodiversity of Gatun Lake｜Panama

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

If you're an adventurous traveler looking for an unforgettable experience, this boat tour into the heart of Gatún Lake is sure to be one of your favorites. On a tour that combines history and ecology, you will navigate the Panama Canal to reach its hidden islands, where, conditions permitting, you will be able to observe families of capuchin, white-headed, and howler monkeys.

The expedition begins on the banks of the Chagres River, where we will board the boat that will take us along the tour route. At the helm will be an expert wildlife-watching guide, who will be responsible for identifying the various species that inhabit the islands in this vast reservoir. Within a few minutes, we will reach Gatun Lake, and as we make our way across its waters, we will pass ships transiting between the Miraflores and Gatun Locks, heading either to the Caribbean or to the Pacific.

The expedition on Lake Gatún lasts approximately one hour and fifteen minutes, after which we will return to the departure point.
