Monkey & Wildlife Nature Cruise On Gatun Lake

Visit the spectacular Gamboa Rainforest Resort located at the mouth of the Chagres River and cruise through the Gatun Lake and the labyrinth of jungle covered islands located in Gatun Lake. Your naturalist guide will orient you to the area, discuss the flora and fauna, and help you to spot the animals.

The main attraction is of course Monkey Island and the adorable creatures that inhabit the area. Listen for the loud call of the Howler Monkey and delight in the friendly white-faced capuchin monkeys, the most likely to greet you.

The area teems with wildlife so keep your camera ready to capture all the wildlife action.

On your return to the dock, you'll pass the Panama Canal at water level. This intimate view of the Gatun Lake canal system is something only a small boat experience can provide.

After we went back to the ship we went to the little shopping area outside of the pier. It was a pretty hot muggy day so we did a little shopping and stopped by a restaurant to have some colorful and refreshing drinks .
