Panama Canal
Full-Day Tour to Visit One of the Engineering Wonders of the World: The Panama Canal (Lunch Included)
Five facts about the Panama Canal: (1) It’s a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. (2) It’s over 100 years old. (3) The construction cost over 25,000 lives. (4) It’s considered one of the Man-Made Wonders of the World. (5) Over 1 million vessels have transited the canal since it opened.
On this tour, we offer a unique sailing experience inside the Panama Canal, following the same route as the ships that cross it every day, up to the huge locks that will open in front of you to continue into the Pacific Ocean.

The itinerary
We pick you up at one of the authorized hotels in downtown Panama City. We cannot pick you up at just any hotel in town; they have to be authorized by the Panama Canal Transit Company. From there, we take you to the Amador dock for transit to the North or Gamboa dock for transit to the South. The direction of the sail will depend on the logistics imposed by the Canal administration and the maritime traffic of the day.
The boat that will host us offers onboard entertainment with a local speaker in both Spanish and English. Lunch, soft drinks, and snacks are included.
The total duration of the tour, including transport to the boarding pier, is approximately 5 to 6 hours. This includes crossing the Miraflores and Pedro Miguel locks, providing double the pleasure for tourists who are passionate about this engineering marvel.
Important Note: Pickup time at hotels in the Panama City area is between 6:30 and 7:30 AM. The exact time and authorized hotel name will be available the day before for logistical reasons. Pickup is not available from all hotels in the city.
