Navigate the waters of Lake Gatun, an essential part of the Panama Canal, as enormous ships pass in the distance and the tropical jungle pushes through the islands that emerged after the lake's creation. In Monkey Island we will look for three species of primates: white-faced capuchin monkeys, Geoffroy's tamarins, and howler monkeys, whose powerful calls are often heard through the forest. During the tour we will also be able to find tropical birds, iguanas, crocodiles, and other animals in their natural habitat. But this experience goes far beyond observing monkeys. Your bilingual local guide will help you interpret the landscape and discover how the construction of the Canal transformed ancient valleys of the Chagres River into an extraordinary ecosystem of islands surrounded by the waters of Lake Gatun. Our small groups allow for a more personal, quiet, and close to nature experience. Nature, history, and engineering meet in one place: the Panama Canal.

What are people saying about Panama

Mike_J, Oct 2026

Long live Embera!

From when Orlando (best tour guide ever) picked me up from the hotel, he brought the energy that already confirmed to me this was going to be a great trip. And it did not disappoint. The Embera people were excellent hosts and they enjoy hosting people on their little Island. This is a trip that whenever I return to Panama I plan on doing again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience on the Monkey Island Tour in Panama City! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the driver was professional and ensured a comfortable ride, and the boat captain made the trip enjoyable and memorable. A big thank-you to the entire staff for their hospitality, excellent service, and teamwork. We truly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panama! 🐒🚤🌴

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Marcia_S, Oct 2026

Do this! 100% Worth it!

I absolutely LOVED this tour!! Seriously, I went just a couple of weeks ago and I'm already thinking about going again! 😂 We saw several different kinds of monkeys, including howlers, capuchins, and tiny tamarins, and some even climbed right onto the boat and onto us! What made the experience even more impressive was that we went right after the earthquake, when things were still very chaotic. Despite everything going on, they were incredibly professional and made sure we got our entire tour. The only thing we missed was the walk after the boat, simply because it had gotten dark and wasn't safe to do it at that point, which I completely understood. They didn't rush us or cut our time short. It was honestly one of the most enjoyable things I've done here, and I would happily go again tomorrow. Absolutely fantastic experience!

Private tour

We had an excellent private tour of Panama with Fredy! He is a wonderful guide with extensive knowledge of Panama’s history. We visited the Panama Canal and other important sites, and he made the experience both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want to learn about Panama from a knowledgeable and professional guide!

Panama Canal and City Tour Experience

Robert_M, Oct 2026

Super informative Canal & Panama City Highlights Tour

Excellent, informative tour of the Panama Canal and other interesting sites in Panama City. Gabriel did an excellent job working around some last minute changes in the Canal Visitor Center’s schedule due to the recent earthquake. We had a couple of folks from China who spoke no Spanish and only a bit of English, but Gabe was super patient working through translations. I really knew very little about the operations and pride Panamanian’s have for this complex and critical logistics link. Also loved the beautiful views of the city from the marina. One final stop on the tour was the high end hat shop near the Plaza Mayor…I came back later to make a purchase. All in all a great tour, gracias Gabriel!

Panama Canal With Entry Ticket & City Tour: Old Town & City Views

Albertino_T, Oct 2026

Great experience

My parents and I booked this tour on our layover in Panama. We received multiple messages with detailed instructions about 1 week before our trip. However, we never expected an earthquake to shatter our schedule. Our flight was delayed for 8 hours so we basically missed out the deadline for cancellation. Immediately after my notification about missing out the tour, I received an instant message about making up for the missed tour. I was completely shocked about their professionalism and caring response. I was offered a new tour the next morning without any additional cost. I was picked up the next morning on time. Both KiKei and Jimmy were super attentive. We were able to catch the ship passing through the lock and the train passing by on our first try. The tour guides were very meticulous about timing so we can see all the actions at the Canal. After the Canal, we were dropped off at old town and were given a highly detailed explanation about all the buildings there. Overall. I highly recommend this tour company. They turned one of my most stressful travel experience into a great one with a lot of wonderful memories.

Legends of Casco Viejo Tour: Uncover Hidden Gems

Cindy_R, Oct 2026

We had a wonderful tour...

We had a wonderful tour of Casco Viejo with Alex. Even the day before the tour, Alex personally reached out to welcome us to Panama and confirm the pick-up time, which was a really nice touch. It already made the experience feel more personal than just an online booking. He picked us up at our hotel right on time, and as it turned out, we were the only ones booked that day, so we basically had a private tour — which was fantastic! Alex showed us around Casco Viejo and gave us lots of interesting information about the history, the beautiful buildings and the old walls that tell so much about the history of the area and its past. We visited a beautiful church, where he also gave us a great explanation, and even went into a museum that was already on our list. We were very happy to have Alex show us around there as well. We loved walking through the beautiful, incredibly clean streets and taking in all the different architectural styles. We also had plenty of time to sit down, enjoy the atmosphere, people-watch and ask Alex questions. What we especially appreciated was the personal touch. During the tour, Alex shared a little bit about his family and even showed us a photo of his daughter. It was a small thing, but it made the experience feel very personal and genuine. He also took us all the way down to the waterfront and to a lovely little street with handmade souvenirs. At the end, while he went to get the car, we offered him a drink as a small thank-you. Then, of course, it started raining! Alex came back with an umbrella and made sure we got into the car one by one without getting soaked. Such a thoughtful touch! Alex is friendly, knowledgeable and speaks very good English, which made the historical explanations so much easier to follow. We had a really lovely experience from beginning to end and would definitely recommend Alex!

Michelle_J, Sep 2026

A Must Book!

Our guide Vincent is truly incredible! He educated us the entire tour. The canal history and construction is truly mind-blowing. I'm still processing the information along with the experience. Breathtaking views. Being inside the Panama Canal locks was amazing. The whole process is a site to see. Lunch was delicious. For any vegans planning to book this experience...the vegan food options were filling and very good (rice, salad, plantains and sauteed vegetables). Everything was seasoned to a T! The bus driver was excellent.

Great Experience!

I had an amazing experience, even though it was raining and chill out, the crew made sure we had a great time, the only thing we needed was the sun to make it an unforgettable experience. One of the crew members Miguel assisted me in getting in the water since I don't know how to swim, that was very sweet he was there watching over me while i was able to enjoy the water. Loved that the tour was both in english and spanish, also history based. The dance and the activities were great. Overall an amazing experience.
