Customized Panama Island Tour & Indian Village with Daily Departure

Today we'll start the San Blas Island tours. First, we will travel to San Blas Islands on the Caribbean coast which will take about 2 hours by driving. Since the necessities sold on the island are limited, it is recommended to buy some water, snacks and drinks in advance. After arriving on the Caribbean coast, we will take a boat to San Blas Islands, taking 40 minutes and then check into the hotel. In the afternoon, the guide will take you to explore the Guna Yala Community, where we will understand the lifestyle, history and culture of the community. You can also buy some handmade souvenirs to support the community.

Today we will enjoy a cruise tour on the Panama Canal to experience the essence of the world’s engineering wonder. You can see how the ship locks operate and control the ships passing by firsthand. The canal tour starts in the early morning and you will check in between 6:30 and 7:30 am at Flamenco Marina, where the cruise will start to sail to the end of the Gamboa Dredging Division. The cruise will pass through the Bridge of the Americas, Miraflores Locks, Miraflores Lake, Pedro Miguel Locks, and Centennial Bridge. After that, it is going to sail through the southern tip of the Gaillard Cut where the Chagres River flows into the canal. 

On board, a professional bilingual guide will explain the history and construction of the canal to you. Breakfast and lunch will also be served. After landing in the Gamboa Dredging Division, the 6-hour canal trip ends here and we’ll go back to the hotel. The time left is free for you.

Please Note:

Today you will immerse yourself all day in the charm of Panama’s capital city. In the morning, we will first visit the Amador Causeway, a 3.5-km long and narrow path stretching into the Pacific Ocean, offering a leisurely morning stroll. Then head to see the Bridge of the Americas, one of the most important bridges spanning over Panama Canal. Next, we will drive to go sightseeing at Casco Viejo (San Felipe), a historic district full of charm. It is the “Old Quarter” of Panama, boasting a lot of Spanish-style colonial buildings like the France Square.

After that, we will go to the Miraflores Visitor Center, viewing the iconic Panama Canal from a different angle. You can not only watch a 45-minute movie about the history of the Panama Canal, and visit the Canal Museum, but also overlook cargo ships and even cruises passing through Miraflores Locks on its large Observation Deck. Then, the journey continues to Panama Viejo - Ruins of the First Panama City, the first colonial city in Panama established by Spanish people, which was later destroyed by pirates. At the end of the day, you will be sent back to the hotel.

Note:

The visit order is subject to change according to the ship transit schedules of Miraflores Locks to make you have the best travel experience.
