Boat Animal Safari by the Channel + Fruit Market

$55.00
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

This tour not only showcases the typical wildlife of the rainforest, but also from a unique place in the world: Lake Gatun, part of the Panama Canal. Observing monkeys in the open, seeing crocodiles, tropical birds and even large boats transiting the canal, all on the same route, creates an experience impossible to replicate elsewhere.

While most tours end at the pier, this includes an authentic stop at a fruit market, where visitors can sample fresh Panamanian pineapple, considered one of the sweetest in the world. This moment connects travelers with local agriculture and gives the tour a very special flavor, literally.

  • Gatun Lake
    The tour to Monkey Island starts early in the morning, usually between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., with direct pickup from your hotel in Panama City.
  • Monkey Island
    When you arrive at the Marina de Gamboa, you will embark on a boat tour of Gatun Lake, one of the most important sections of the canal. During this walk, you will sail between small islands covered in rainforest until you reach the famous Monkey Island. Here, you will have the opportunity to observe several species of monkeys in their natural habitat, such as capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys and marmosets. Some even approach the boats in search of fruit, allowing close and unique moments with these curious forest dwellers.
  • Mercado de Abastos
    Accompanied by a local guide or agricultural expert, you’ll start a tour of the market’s aisles, where the air soaks in the sweet, fresh aroma of freshly harvested tropical fruits. Among piles of papayas, mangoes, bananas and passion fruits, the protagonist of the day will be Panamanian pineapple, internationally recognized for its intensely sweet flavor, juicy texture and floral aroma. The most anticipated part comes with the tasting: fresh slices of pineapple served directly by producers or sellers, at room temperature or slightly cold, which highlight the quality of the national fruit.
