What to expect
on Your Monkey Island Eco-Tour?

 

Get ready for one of the most authentic wildlife experiences Panama has to offer. This adventure begins the moment we board our boat:

  • Close Encounters with Wild Monkeys: You will get a close look at intelligent white-faced capuchin monkeys, loud howler monkeys, and charming tití (squirrel) monkeys. Since they are in their natural habitat, the interaction is genuine and fascinating.

  • Navigating the Panama Canal: This is not just an animal tour; we will cruise the waters of Gatun Lake, sharing the waterway with massive transoceanic cargo ships transiting the Canal.

  • Perfect for All Ages: This is a relaxed and safe excursion. Our boats are stable and covered, allowing everyone from toddlers to grandparents to enjoy the scenery with zero physical effort.

  • Photo Safari: You will have unique opportunities to capture stunning photos of the dense tropical rainforest  and, of course, the curious monkeys that often come right up to the boat to say hello.
