Lodge and tour reviews on TripAdvisor

★★★★★“Awesome experience!”

Spending the night at the Jungle Land Lodge is a must-do when you are in Panama. We were picked up at the dock in Gamboa by Capt. Carl and we had a great and informative tour on the canal and Lake Gatun to the lodge. […] Watching the sun set and experiencing the jungle going into nocturnal mode was just fabulous.

★★★★★“Best experience in Panama”

When we got to the lodge, it was serene place in the middle of the jungle where you spend the entire day watching the jungle, looking at howler monkeys and listening to all the sounds. […] A spectacular rain forest experience.
