Explore rowing on a kayak the beautiful Chagres River before it merges at the Gatun lake where the huge vessels and boats transit from Ocean to Ocean. The Chagres river is the main tributary of water of the Canal. A quite waterway, enjoying the sound of the wild life of this dense tropical forest. You might get the opportunity to see a sloth in a tree, a colorful bird peacefully living in the jungle or at the top the water plants, caimans, turtles among many others species of the local fauna. After a short hike to the small port used by the Embera indigenous at Gamboa, the tour last about 1 hour and 20 minutes (in the kayak) always accompanied by our bilingual guide and probably also by an Embera guide from the area who knows the place better than anyone.

Great way to mix up a trip to Panama that otherwise might be a lot of city, beach and more cultural activities. Nearby, the kayaking allowed us to see a National Park and we even met people from the Embera community. Christian was a knowledgable guide who shifted our outing to the afternoon crucially to avoid morning rain.

We had a ton of fun on our family kayaking tour on the Chagres River. The surrounding jungle was so beautiful and our guide did a great job highlighting the wonders of the area. He was also really good with our kids, which is always appreciated.

Great experience. Christian was great company and very knowledgeable on everything we encountered on the lake. Would highly recommend, a salubrious way to spend a morning in Panama.

We got to see howler monkeys howling, lots of birds, and were about as close to the Canal as kayaks are allowed to get. Christian was an excellent guide, very friendly and helpful.

Christian was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He knows the area very well! The kayaking was a lot of fun. The weather didn't cooperate 100% with us, but it was a great way to see birds and the river. Overall, a great trip and a good workout!

The peaceful beauty of a really nice paddle. Christian was wonderful, and it was nice to see the Embera Village; only wish we could have seen more of that.

I enjoyed peaceful paddling on the Chagres River. Our guide Chris helped identify wildlife. Our stop at an indigenous Embera village was heartwarming!
