Join this natural adventure -- a wealth of sight and sound, combined with the thrill of speeding through the Panama Canal next to the mighty ships transiting this manmade wonder.
An exhilarating 30-minute boat ride at high speed takes you right through the heart of the Panama Canal.
Slow down to enter the labyrinth of jungle-covered islands of Lake Gatún. In this protected area, the wildlife is plentiful, and you are likely to encounter capuchin monkeys, three-toed sloths, howler monkeys, various kinds of toucans and other bird life, as well as caimans, crocodiles, turtles and numerous butterflies. This is an exceptional place to experience the sights and sounds of the jungle up close.
Your trained naturalist guide will ensure that you have an outstanding nature experience throughout this jungle and canal adventure.
Notes:
Wear light clothing, sunscreen, a hat and sneakers or sandals. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. This excursion departs from Gatún Lake and ends in Colón, where you will rejoin the ship. Tour departure times may vary due to local authority clearance and will be announced on board the ship. The Panama Canal Authority assigns specific time slots for the transit of each vessel transiting the locks; the arrival of the ship in Colón may be delayed. Be prepared for such a delay by bringing any needed medication or essential items on tour. Facilities are available at the terminal in Colón while you are waiting for the ship's arrival.
