• Easiest and most comfortable way to see the canal.

  This is an easy, comfortable way to experiece the canal for family members of all ages. We spent all of our time on the upper deck where viewing was best, but the airconditioned areas on the lower decks also offered good viewing. Breakfast and lunch were basic but both were quite good and made with fresh ingredients. Our tour guide was very knowledable about all aspects of the canals history and current operations. On the whole, an excellent experience.

• Experiencing the Panama Canal locks from the inside.

  We came to Panama City specifically to learn about and experience the canal and its locks. Our previous 3 days were spent in the visitors centers at the various lock sites. This tour added another dimension by giving us the experience of going through the locks, watching the gates to the locks close behind us and open in front of us, and experience the rise and fall as the locks adjusted the elevation of this ship we were on. We found that, beyond learning about the locks, experiencing the locks added an additional and enjoyable dementia to our Panama canal experience. We would highly recommend anyone who is really fascinated by the locks to have this experience.

• Fantastic day on the Panama Canal!

  This was a very educational trip that was appropriate for any age group. The staff for the tour and also the crew of our boat were outstanding! Our narrator was also outstanding. He explained things as we were passing them and gave us tons of information! This trip is a must for anyone who comes to Panama!

  If you’re only going to be in Panama City once, this is worth doing. You get to experience the engineering of the locks first-hand. For me it was the bucket list item I didn’t know I needed. I took an amazing time lapse of the water coming up and of our boat leaving the canal. Take the tour.YOLO.
