A really nice day out on the Canal. The guide, Ian, was very informative and it was good to see how the canal works in practice - certainly worth going if you get the chance. Also went to the visitor centre on another trip, that was also worthwhile.

it was very nice to see panama canal. I will ask my friends to see this way panama canal. Can you give some more chosie for lunch with vegetarian.

The trip is value for money covers extensively about the canal history and a bit of city history too. English speaking guides were good. Comfortable pic up and drop off AC shuttles.

We did the full tour. For the most part it was very fun and worth the trip but it was very long for us as the canal ran into an issue so we ended up ending 2.5 hours later than expected. Your whole day will be gone if you do the full tour but you also get to see a lot more on the full tour. They don’t have much vegetarian options for people though. I would suggest bring your own snacks or food if you are vegetarian.

IMAX video doesn't do this experience any justice. From the locks to the transfer of water, it's just memorable. The sights you see on the boat that are not visible from the shoreline are great.

I truly believe this was an adventure of a lifetime to say I traveled on a boat through the Panama Canal:). I loved this experience so much. The reviews from others are correct in that yes it’s a long day. However the experience is again so worth it. My husband and I met a van near our hotel where we drove 45 minutes-1 hour to the boat. I will say the only negative part was at that point there’s one person scanning your ticket and no lines so people were pushing and shoving to get their tickets scanned. Then two people put wrist bands on and you walked onboard. Definitely need an obvious checkin point with more than one scanner. The food for lunch (chicken, sausage, salad, rice) was very good. You could purchase beverages. Edwin the boats announcer was phenomenal! He gave so much history and knowledge in both Spanish and English flawlessly and was so great. It made the trip much more lively. Once completed the van took us back to the hotel— very easy. Time total was about 6.5 hours but again highly recommend!

Panama Canal southbound boat trip was memorable. Very scenic. Going through the locks was awesome. Well coordinated trip

What an amazing way to see this engineering wonder of the world!! It is a long day, but well worth it! I was well taken care of the entire day, as the staff are attentive, and our tour guide, Edwin, answered all questions knowledgeably. You will take tons of pictures. Once over, the bus trip back to Panama City goes very quickly. This is a must if you have a whole day available.

It was a unique experience! The boat could use some improvement.. food was pretty basic and minimal and they run out of drinks which were not included anyway. We had to buy drinks from the boat next to us. Plan for a long day.

Fantastic, impressive and professional. Just take the tour, you will not regret it. Everything was perfect, the early morning meeting, boarding process, breakfast, educational narration, comfortable (A/C) interior seating, lunch and the comfortable bus ride back. Whole trip takes about 12 hours (10 on ship, 2 on return bus). Its good!!

Some friends went and some of us could not because of getting sick. But what upsets me is that they were not to put a charge on the credit card until day of trip. It was put on my friends credit card 2 days prior to the trip and then they would not give her a refund when we tried canceling that morning. The ones that went said they were not given any tickets when arriving to take tour. There was noone around, just told to get on boat. They liked the tour, but why was my friend charged before she was supposed to be? That's very sad that a company would take advantage of people like that. So when signing for these tours be very careful because we had to pay $150 for not going. 😪👿

Excellent trip - very interesting making the full canal transit. Food was surprisingly good for a tour. Would recommend to others.

My husband and I took the tour on April 20, 2024. The night before the departure, the tour operator sent an email to let us know what time we would be picked up from our hotel. The driver arrived on time and the ride in the van to the ship was comfortable. When we got on the ship, we selected a table on the second deck that had a window. That is a perfect spot as the ship has airconditioned and we were not out in the hot sun. Once we were underway, we were called for breakfast based on the color of our wristbands. This prevented everyone from coming at one time. The same process was used for lunch and an afternoon snack. The food was very good! Water and soda were included also. The bathrooms were cleaned and stocked. The narrator did an excellent job of explaining all the magnificent sites along the way. The employees on the ship were very friendly also. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the locks. It was amazing! This was a bucket list adventure for me!! Once we got to Colon at the end of the cruise, buses were waiting for us and we boarded based on the color of our wristbands. The bus ride was comfortable. Once we arrived back to the port in Panama, our van driver was waiting and took us back to our hotel. It was a perfect day without rain! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Panama canal up close and personal.

The canal was interesting, the boat comfortable and the food was good. I give my reviews only 3 stars because the picked us up at 9:00 am and by 10:00 am we were already at the boat and we had to wait until noon to depart. We ended up waiting another 2 extra hours for a big ship to reach the locks so we could pass but that's not the tour's company fault. What was supposed to be a 6 hours tour ended up being a 10 1/2 house tour.

Highlight of my trip to Panama was traversing the canal on the Pacific Queen. We lucked out as it was a very busy day on the canal and our tour was full of boats going through the lock. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. The boat crew was nice, drinks and lunch was also great. Tour might be a bit expensive but it’s definitely worth it.
