Gamboa Rainforest Canopy Tour Aerial Tram $55 USD

Experience the sights and sounds of a tropical rainforest, as you ascend from the shadowy forest floor through the dense undergrowth and up 280 feet to its sun-drenched canopy. Your naturalist guide describes the flora and fauna that surround you as howler monkeys call out in the distance. It’s a feast for the senses; colorful birds and butterflies surround, and you might also encounter iguanas, sloths or white-faced capuchin monkeys. Once at the top, you can climb the 100 foot tall observation tower for views of the vast rainforest of Soberanía National Park while watching the cargo ships maneuver through the Galliard Cut. Continue on to interpretive exhibits of native flora, fauna and culture. Throughout this adventure your guide will be on hand to explain and enhance your encounters. Please Note: For tours departing May 2013 through April 2014 only, on Day 7, the Aerial tram ride (without exhibits) or Monkey Island option is included in your tour as a choice activity. If you wish to participate in the other trip, please purchase as an option for Day 5. Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours. Please note a minimum of 1 passengers is required. Transportation is included.

Sunset Safari $45 USD What are the rainforest animals doing as the sun goes down? Search for them during a sunset tour from an open-air boat. Enjoy the chance to spot tapirs, capybaras, alligators, rare tropical opossums, western night monkeys, and two- toed sloths. Luminescent pairs of eyes reveal scores of reptiles hunting at dusk along the edges of the river and Gatún Lake. Two protected species – the crocodile and the caiman – populate local water, but reptiles are not the only stars of this twilight adventure; calls of the nightjar (a whippoorwill cousin) and frogs echo over the still water. Bats dive to the water’s surface for a quick drink. During your sunset safari, learn interesting facts about the Gamboa area. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of the waterfront as night falls. Duration: Approximately 1 hour. Please note a minimum of 2 passengers is required. Transportation is included.

Gatun Lake Expedition Cruise $40 USD

Venture into Gatun Lake in search of the playful inhabitants of Monkey Island. Throughout your adventure, discover an abundance of rainforest wildlife in this verdant area. Set out from Gamboa Marina and navigate along the Chagres River. Cruise past historic Gamboa Bridge and into Gatun Lake, a major component of the canal. Get up close views of large ships transiting between oceans as your naturalist guide points out three-toed sloths, turtles, iguanas, crocodiles, eagles, toucans, and other tropical animals along the shore. As you approach the banks of Monkey Island, keep your eyes open for capuchin and howler monkeys leaping in the trees above. Occasionally these intelligent creatures become so curious about visitors that they head down towards the boats to get a closer look! Take advantage of this unique and unforgettable opportunity to see wild monkeys in their natural habitat. Your guide will be on hand the entire time to explain and enhance these once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
