The Panama Canal
Whatever you want to call it, it is quickly becoming Central America's newest tourism destination. Of all the wondrous things Panama has to offer, the Panama Canal is probably the single best known among Americans. This, of course, is primarily because Panama and the United States have one thing in common...history.


There is probably not a single person in the United States who isn't aware that Teddy Roosevelt played a major part in the construction of the Panama Canal. Since the opening of the canal in 1914, millions of people have passed from ocean to ocean enroute to countless destinations.

Many have returned to that beautiful and exoctic place called Panama' that they had once only viewed from a passing freighter, tanker, passenger ship or naval vessel.

The Panama Canal one-day cruise schedule
Complete Panama Canal transits are offered twice per month. We offer a partial transit every Saturday. All tour packages include a complete Panama Canal transit, but can be modified and a partial taken with any of our packages.

A complete transit of the Panama canal starts at 7:30 am from the Pacific port of the Panama Canal and ends at an Atlantic port of the Panama Canal. At that point, return to the Pacific port is by bus. A complete transit usually takes about 10 hours.

Our partial transits begin at Pacific port at 7:30 am and is usually completed by noon at Gamboa where return is by bus to the Pacific port.

NOTE: We do not book transits only. Our minimum booking is our Panama at a glance package.

Times can always vary in the Panama Canal depending on traffic or circumstances. Check our Panama Canal transit schedule before making any travel arrangements.

Panama City is surroundedby lush rain forests. The Chagres River flows through this rain forest on it's way to Gatun Lake which eventually feeds the chambers for the Panama Canal locks system. Along the banks of the Chagres River live families of the Emberá Indians.

The Embera Indians live today much as they did when the discoverer of the Pacific Ocean, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, first set foot in Panama. The Emberá are best known for their beautiful hand woven baskets and fine wood carvings
