Monkey Island, Panama Canal & Sloth Sanctuary Tour
🐒 Monkey Island, Panama Canal & Sloth Sanctuary Tour
Available for all AcoModo city property guests.
Just a short trip outside the city, this unforgettable expedition takes you deep into the heart of the Panama Canal watershed — where tropical jungle, exotic wildlife, and one of the world's greatest engineering marvels come together in a single morning. Navigate the legendary Gatun Lake by motorboat, come face-to-face with wild monkeys in their natural habitat, and discover the remarkable world of rescued sloths, butterflies, orchids, and frogs.
This is a fully private expedition — your group, your pace, your experience. 🌿
🚤 What You'll Experience:
🐒 Monkey Island
Cruise through the calm waters of Gatun Lake and pull up close to Monkey Island and Sounds of Silence Island, where three species of primates roam freely in their natural habitat:

- 🐒 Mantled Howler Monkeys
Your certified guide will bring you as close as possible while always respecting the animals' natural feeding patterns and habitat.
