Vores check-in point er på Flamenco Marina, der ligger på den sidste ø af Amador Causeway. Det er lige ved siden af Panama skiltet og bag Duty Free Shop. Den nøjagtige turtidspunkt vil blive bekræftet dagen før. Den tid, der vises på bookingplatformen, er omtrentlig. Kontroller venligst din e-mail dagen før turen for de endelige detaljer. Vores tur starter på Flamenco Resort og Marina. Passagerer ombord på motorbusser for en 45-minutters kørsel til byen Gamboa, hvor Panama Canal Dredging Division er placeret. Når du er i Gamboa, går passagererne ombord på Pacific Queen for at starte vanddelen af turen.
Panamas Centennial Bridge er en stor bro over Panamakanalen. Det blev bygget til at supplere den overfyldte bro af Amerika og erstatte den som operatør af den panamerikanske motorvej. Ved åbningen i 2004 blev det den anden permanente passage af kanalen.
Den delvise transit tur i Panama-kanalen begynder i den nordlige ende af Gailard snit, hvor Chagres floden flyder ind i kanalen. Gaillard Cut (også kendt som Culebra Cut, fordi dens kurver ligner en slange) er et af de vigtigste punkter af interesse for besøgende, fordi det blev udskåret gennem den kontinentale deling, og denne del af kanalen er fuld af historie og geologisk værdi. Før du når Pedro Miguel Lås i den sydlige ende af Cut, vil du være i stand til at se hundredårsbroen, der krydser kanalen. Herefter kommer Pacific Queen ind i Pedro Miguel Locks, som er et af de to sæt låse på Pacific side. Du kommer derefter ind i Miraflores Lake, som er en lille kunstig krop af ferskvand, der adskiller Pedro Miguel fra Miraflores Lås, sidstnævnte er det sidste sæt af låse, før de når Stillehavet. En gang i Stillehavet vil skibet sejle til den smukke Flamenco Marina, hvor passagererne lander.
Broen i Amerika er en vejbro i Panama, der spænder over Stillehavets indgang til Panamakanalen. Designet af Sverdrup & Parcel, blev den færdiggjort i 1962 til en pris på 20 millioner US $, der forbinder de nordlige og sydamerikanske landmasser.

Everything was excellent. The guide was super informative about history and practical things concerning the Panama Canal. My recommendation…! Flemming Friis, Denmark
If you choose one thing to do to experience and learn about the Panama Canal, this is your tour! We learned so much from Patrick, the tour narrator, during this canal excursion. You won’t be disappointed If you want to see how the canal really functions. The lunch they provided was good as well!
When I share with friends and family that we actually experienced traveling through the canal, everyone is amazed and intrigued. A bucket list item for sure with a delicious buffet and icy cold air conditioning, we may take the north bound direction when we return to Panama because it was just that good.
The cruise down the Canal was the highlight of my trip to Panama. We were there on a family vacation. The Canal tour was relaxing, informative and an overall wonderful experience. Seeing the operation of the locks up close was awesome! The arrangements were seamless and the staff was very professional. The tour guide was excellent and kept us well-informed throughout the duration of the tour. We visited the Miraflores locks the previous day, however, transiting the Canal and seeing the operation up close, give a far greater appreciation of the engineering feat that is the Panama Canal. I highly recommend this tour.
The tour company was very efficient and provided a great experience. The boat was comfortable, with air conditioned spaces, and provided a constant narrative and the lunch was good. We would definitely use this company again.
Tour was amazing. You learn a lot. Views from the boat is fantastic. Be well prepared for the weather, with sun screen if too hot etc. Food on boat was good and just enough. Overall a lovely tour.
The starting time changed a couple of times, so don’t count on that, but overall the experience was great. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, the food was pretty good, and if you’re interested in the whole engineering thing, it’s pretty darn amazing and informative.
Pick up was on time, guide did not talk too much - the information presented was relevant and accurate, lunch was also tasty!
Super recommend the walk! It is suitable for families (children and the elderly). It is super interesting to make a pass of the 3 composts and the explanations of the guide José (in Spanish and English) very informative form. I would like to inform you that they do not have the possibility to adapt the menu to dietary restrictions but are free from carrying food. Thank you to the whole team! Thank you!
The tour was all I had hoped it would be! I remember reading about the Gaillard Cut (aka the Culebra Cut) back in elementary school. To cruise through this monument to human endurance and engineering ingenuity was a thrill. It was equally thrilling to enter the original hundred-year-old locks, sharing the chambers with a gigantic oil tanker as we descended in stages from Lake Gatun to the Pacific Ocean. The staff was friendly and the bus and boat were very comfortable. My only complaint is that the check-in process was hot and hectic. I got there quite early to myself time to find the check in spot (which turned out to be fairly easy. It's a small office-like kiosk outdoors, next to the big Panama letters.) But no one was there until 15 minutes before the check-in time and no check-ins were done until 5 minutes before the check-in time. In the meantime, travelers must wait in an area with little seating and less shade. However, once that was done, you can enter the air-conditioned bus. So, all was soon well.
