Colon Shore Excursion: Panama City and Canal Private Tour

This shore excursion is a full day from the Colon (Cristobal) Cruise Port to explore Panama City and the canal. Enjoy exciting views from the viewing platforms, learn more about the canal at the museum and visit one of the most interesting cities in Central America.

You will be picked up at the Colon Cruise Port at your ship's arrival. Most days start with incredible views of the city from Cerro Ancon. From here, you will head to the Miraflores Locks to watch the ships travel through.

Enjoy the viewing platforms, learn more about the canal at the museum and watch a short film about the canal's history.

You will head under the Bridge of the Americas, past the Frank Gehry Bio Museum and out to the Amador Causeway where we will stop for lunch (not included). 

The rest of the afternoon will be spent on a walking tour of old town, Casco Viejo. Marvel at its spectacular architecture and learn about the history of this UNESCO world heritage site. From Casco Viejo you can head back to your ship, or you can decide to stay for sunset, dinner or drinks in one of the many plazas.
