The best place to experience The Panama Canal is in the former U.S. Canal Zone town of Gamboa, where The Chagres River meets Gatun Lake in Soberania National Park. Here you will enjoy one of the most famous wildlife viewing and bird watching trails in the world, The Pipeline Road, where the world record for the most bird species seen in a 24 hour period was set 11 years in a row.
This private tour consists of a hike through the tropical rainforest with a knowledgeable guide, and among capuchin and howler monkeys, toucans and sloths, you will learn about Panama's history and culture.
But better than this, you will also cruise on an outboard engine boat next to ships that transit through the isthmus. You'll understand the ecology and history behind The Panama Canal and Gatun lake. We'll cruise the side channels of the canal, the biodiverse area of The Monkey Islands, where we're likely to see more monkeys, crocodiles and exotic birds.

This tour was amazing. John is a fantastic tour guide and really knows what he is talking about. This is a great chance to see the canal and its surrounding nature both by foot and by boat. This is a must-do tour if you are visiting Panama for the first time.
Experience This!

The entire eco tour was wonderful. The 5-mile hike in the national park was super. Seeing (& hearing) Howler monkeys was thrilling. John was super knowledgeable and made the whole experience fabulous. I highly recommend this tour.
