Kayaking

Take advantage of the natural environment to get some exercise with a day of adventure on Gatún Lake. Enjoy paddling a kayak around the Panama Canal, where you can watch from water level as the enormous vessels pass by. You can also paddle by and get close to the diverse animal species that inhabit this lush place.

You've surely never imagined such a wonderful way to see the amazing Panama Canal from so up close. This amazing adventure begins by traveling from Gamboa to the Sovereignty National Park, which is distinguished for its variety of flora and fauna that you will have the opportunity to view from close range.

In addition to Gatún Lake and the Panama Canal, the other main places to go kayaking in Panama are in western Panama (Chiriquí / Bocas Del Toro) and eastern Panama (Colón / province of Panama / Darién). The sections are Class III, IV and V, with 20 kilometers of rapids waiting for the most enthusiastic whitewater kayakers.

Comfortable clothing

Kayak or water shoes
