Additional Information

We will explore from 3 unique viewpoints - by train, automobile, and from a scenic Outlook.

This isn’t a traditional history lesson, but rather an opportunity to discover the Canal through the personal lens of a Panamanian who isn’t an engineer.

We co-create our journey with you, ensuring the most engaging way for you to appreciate it. There’s no preset timetable. We simply go with the rhythm of the day.

We’ll get as close as can be to the vessels on the Panama Canal Gatun Lake. We’ll also visit a lock of your choice and ride the train along our renowned water route to capture every aspect.

The experience is tailored specifically for you.

Up close and personal on the Panama Canal complete with feeding monkeys - A full day of being on the canal in a small boat. Close to huge tankers. Seeing monkeys (and feeding one), sloths, crocodile, birds. Walk in the forest with a local who had unbelievable ability to spot the animals. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Really educational and the best tour guide ever. I even got to see a Sloth! Thanks Sorhay - This was our very first time in Panama. I was myself, my husband and our inlaws, and we did not know what to expect. We had a wonderful day with Sorhay our tour guide, and the driver. Sorhay went over and above to make our private experience phenomenal. We had no problem communicating with her, and her English skills are excellent. This tour wasn't just great for the sight seeing, but she really educated us on all of Panama, she shared the history of everything we saw on our drive, and knew everything about the canal. If we had a question, she either knew the answer, or found it for us. She even found a sloth in a tree on the side of the road and stopped for us to view and photo. She made our experience a really really nice time. I highly recommend her for anybody preparing to go to Panama. We got to know her so well, i feel like she is family. We booked 2 tours with her during this trip the second one being the Private Monkey Island Boat Tour at the Panama Canal. Both of these Tours Rocked. Thank You Sorhay!
