Monkey Island

Our guide today took us over to Monkey Island where a large group of White Faced Capuchun Monkeys live. We put fruit out at the front of our boat and they came right on board to fetch it then proceeded to climb around the boat.

Another highlight for Mike and Tanner was that they got to fish on the Chargas River for Peacock Bass. The fish were jumping all over the place and they caught 18 of these beautiful Bass between them. The driver of our boat was happy to take dinner home to his family!

On our way back, the driver gave the wheel to Tanner. Now Tanner can officially say he has driven a boat on the Panama Canal! It was awesome and a bit un-nerving to be alongside these huge container ships plying the canal.

 

All in all, this was a fun day and a great way to end the trip for Tanner, who flies home tomorrow.
