What you can expect

This tour begins with a convenient pickup from your city hotel or Playa Bonita, followed by a drive to the Agua Clara Locks Visitor Center, where you’ll experience the expanded Panama Canal in operation since 2016 and watch massive Neo-Panamax ships transit the locks. We then visit the historic Gatun Locks (1914), offering a perfect blend of modern and original canal engineering.

On the return, we stop for refreshments before boarding a boat at Gamboa Dock to explore the Panama Canal watershed, where you can spot monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and other wildlife in their natural habitat and rainforest canopy, while enormous ships pass directly in front of you.

The experience lasts approximately 7 hours and delivers a truly unique combination of history, engineering, and nature.
