Vår incheckningspunkt är Flamenco Marina, som ligger på den sista ön i Amador Causeway. Det är precis bredvid Panamaskylten och bakom taxfreebutiken. Den exakta turtiden bekräftas dagen innan. Tiden som visas på bokningsplattformen är ungefärlig. Vänligen kontrollera din e-post dagen innan turen för de sista detaljerna. Vår tur börjar vid Flamenco semesterorter och Marina. Passagerare går ombord på motorbussar för en 45 minuters resa till staden Gamboa där Panama Canal Dredging Division ligger. Väl i Gamboa stiger passagerarna ombord på Pacific Queen för att påbörja vattendelen av turen.
Panamas Centennial Bridge är en viktig bro över Panamakanalen. Det byggdes för att komplettera den överfulla Bridge of Americas och ersätta den som bärare av Pan American Highway. Vid öppnandet 2004 blev det den andra permanenta korsningen av kanalen.
Panamakanalens partiella transittur börjar i norra änden av Gailardklippan, där floden Chagres rinner ut i kanalen. Gaillard Cut (även känd som Culebra Cut eftersom dess kurvor liknar en orm) är en av de viktigaste punkterna av intresse för besökare eftersom det ristades genom kontinentalklyftan och denna del av kanalen är full av historia och geologiskt värde. Innan du når Pedro Miguels slussar i södra änden av Cut, kommer du att kunna se Centennial Bridge som går över kanalen. Därefter kommer Pacific Queen in i Pedro Miguel Locks, som är en av de två uppsättningarna lås på Stillahavssidan. Du kommer sedan in i Miraflores Lake, som är en liten konstgjord vattensamling som skiljer Pedro Miguel från Miraflores Locks, den senare är den sista uppsättningen slussar innan du når Stilla havet. Väl i Stilla havet kommer fartyget att segla till den vackra Flamenco Marina där passagerarna går i land.
Broen i Amerika är en vägbro i Panama, som sträcker sig över Stilla havets ingång till Panamakanalen. Konstruerad av Sverdrup & Parcel, färdigställdes den 1962 till en kostnad av 20 miljoner US-dollar, som förbinder de nord- och sydamerikanska landsmassorna.

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.
