Important Notice – Tour Duration and Return Times Our tours departing from the Colón Cruise Terminal are carefully planned around cruise ship schedules. However, the total duration of the tour may vary depending on your ship’s actual arrival and departure times, as well as road conditions and traffic, especially during peak or rush-hour periods when returning to the port. While we always prioritize a timely return to ensure guests are back before all-aboard time, slight adjustments to the itinerary or timing may occur for operational and safety reasons.
What To Expect
Portobelo
Discover the rich history of this fascinating town. Known as “Puerto Bello” (the Beautiful Port) by Christopher Columbus in 1502, Portobelo was once a thriving hub for Spanish silver exports. Wander through its UNESCO-protected ruins and national park, exploring the remnants of ancient forts and historic buildings that tell stories of pirate raids and colonial treasure fleets.
Isla Grande
Isla Grande welcomes you with swaying palms, soft white sand, and a relaxed Caribbean vibe. Stroll along its charming footpaths, lined with pastel-colored cottages, or dive into the surrounding waters for snorkeling and scuba diving. Experience the local culture and cuisine, with fresh seafood served at a recommended oceanfront restaurant. Relax on the private beach, sip on a refreshing Balboa beer, or savor crispy paracones (fried plantains) as you soak up the island ambiance.
