Important Information

  • This excursion is not always comfortable or possible for people with reduced mobility. It depends on each case. We recommend bringing a passport, wearing comfortable clothing and walking shoes, sunscreen, and a hat. Ship transit schedules are defined by the Panama Canal Authority. We adjust to the best average time to see the transit of ships, although no operator can guarantee 100% the accuracy of the schedules due to the complicated operation of the Canal. We could make changes to the itinerary for greater efficiency in this regard.
