gamboa rainforest resort radio station tour

This tour starts with a briefing on the rules and then off you go to board the tram. Guide stands in front and 4 people can sit in one tram . There are 18 trams in total.They have english speaking guides available who are just a wealth of information about the area. Tram will skim over the trees and guide will point out interesting things like wild flowers, sloths, birds and trees. The ride will end in station and then the walk begins. There are other interesting things along the way and you may want to try to eat a termite or two. After the hike we went up to the deck . It is all ramp so it is not as hard going up and they have benches in case you get tired. The deck has a 360 view of the chagres river and the canal. The guide will provide other information about the area. The ride back is same and the tour ends. It is a cool way to spend about 2 hours.

This was a nice way to see the rain forest from the top of the canopy. It was raining very heavily when we did it so the wildlife was not around. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable. We had a view of the canal and river for a few minutes before the clouds covered everything.

We didn't get to see much except for trees. The view at the top was great. Guide was very nice and gave us a lot of information.

The neat thing about the radio tower is that at its top, you are even with the top canopy layer. There is a unique perspective of the Forrest to experience, and also a good view of the canal and Chagras River. Technically, the tower is wheelchair accessible because it is all ramp and no stairs. But you will need a strong volunteer to do a lot of heavy pushing.

We had a wonderful view and saw Toucans! I am afrain of highs so it was a bit scary. But was very happy I went all the way up. It's definetly worth the fear!

Very interesting tour with an informative guide. Loads of howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys in the area.

This was good tour. It gets you out on the river and canal in a small boat. Then, there's an easy hike through the rainforest to see the remains of an old US WWII installation. Very interesting. And, on the way back, we stopped by "Monkey Island." Also fun.

My husband and I did the half-day fishing trip for $214 (includes tax) with our guide Marcus and had a marvelous time. We left at 9:00 a.m. and returned around 1:00 p.m Marcus was very friendly and knowledgeable. There are not many places where you are pretty much guaranteed to catch fish, speed past HUGE cargo ships and see monkeys and crocs all in a single trip. We saw howler and cappuchin monkeys, a crocodile Marcus affectionately calls "Pepe," which hovered in the water aong side our boat and would occasionally catch our non-keepers in mid air like a frisbee when we tossed them overboard. He also stole what my husband insists was an 8 pounder (yeah that's his story and he's sticking to it).. Its a good day when I, the novice, catch more fish than my experienced husband. In addition to Peacock Bass, he caught and Oscar (dark aquarium fish,, which we (and Pepe) let go. Between us, we caught approximately 10 fish. Marcus says if you are serious about catching a lot, start earlier in the day like 6 a.m. but for us 10 was enough to keep us happy. The price also includes sandwiches, beer and soft drinks..

We hired the fishing guide service at the Resort at a very reasonable price for a family of three, my wife, our seven year old son and myself.The ride to the fishing flats was through the Panama Canal.The guide, Alberto, was talented and understanding. He helped our son catch 19 peacock bass and one oscar fish.Altogether we caught 48 fish. 20 were keepers.The restaurant at the resort grilled and fried our catch.They tasted terrific.The entire fishing program is professionally run.

Il s'agit en fait de la "Canopy tower", cela se trouve à une quinzaine de km de Gamboa en direction de Panama city. Très bel endroit privé (il faut téléphoner pour réserver) pour observer les oiseaux au dessus de la canopée.

Estuve alojado una semana laboral, y la verdad es que me llegue a aburrir bastante. Claro que a mi la naturaleza no es algo que me motive especialmente. Le falta una mejor organización de actividades.

Es un excelente lugar, la atención es de primera calidad, los tour's que dan son amenos y agradables, comparte con la naturaleza y comprendes que es importante conservar el medio en que vivimos, nuestra casa, nuestro planeta.
