The Gatun Lake Fishing Tour is highly recommended if you enjoy relaxed fishing while exploring a unique part of Panama. Fishing on Gatun Lake is incredible, with constant bites once you find the right spot. It is very possible to fill a cooler in less than an hour.

About Gatun Lake
Gatun Lake is one of the world's largest man-made lakes, created between 1907 and 1913 when the Gatun Dam was built across the Chagres River. The lake forms the majority of the Panama Canal, where ships navigate 33 km during their transit across the isthmus.
Unique Flora and Fauna
Beyond fishing, you'll venture into the jungle, spotting wildlife including howler monkeys and a diverse array of bird species common around Gamboa and its surroundings. You'll also navigate near the Panama Canal facilities and witness massive cargo ships operating during your tour.
