Cruise through the jungle covered islands in Gatun Lake. Later, witness the mighty Agua Clara Locks in action. Board your air-conditioned transportation for the approximately 45-minute drive to a local marina. From the resort, board your tour boat for an one hour- and-30-minute eco-cruise on Gatun Lake. Glide past lush rainforest to a secluded region of the lake and witness first-hand the splendor and excitement of the jungle. Exotic birds, monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and crocodiles are just a few of the animals that you may see in their native surroundings. After exploring the lake, board your air-conditioned transportation for a tour of the New Canal Locks (Agua Clara Visitor Center). Spend approximately one hour observing the locks in operation. Your guide explains the engineering feat required to move ships over a continental divide that separates two oceans.
Special Notes:
This tour is not recommended for passengers with physical disabilities. A camera with a zoom lens is recommended. Bring adequate sun protection (sunscreen, hat, etc.) A bottle of water is provided. Wear sensible footwear, such as sneakers. Tour sequence may vary. Depending on traffic, Agua Clara Locks may be visited first. Wildlife sightings, while common, are not guaranteed. Ship sightings in the locks are not guaranteed.The Panama Canal Authority assigns specific time slots for the transit of a vessel through the locks. The ship will anchor in a designated area and will wait for instructions. Once clearance is transmitted to the ship, procedures begin to bring ship's tour passengers ashore. Therefore, tour departure times may vary and will be announced onboard. The return time of the ship to Colon or Cristobal may also be delayed due to transit through the locks. We recommend that you are prepared for any potential of delay in the ship's arrival to Colon or Cristobal and plan accordingly by bringing any needed medication or essential items on tour.
Depending on the voyage and itinerary guests will be dropped off in either Colon or Cristobal.
