Panama Canal Tour: New Locks Agua Clara, Gatun & Atlantic Bridge
Great experience! Private Van Tour
We booked a private van tour for our family of seven, ranging from grandparents in their 70s to an 8-year-old. Coming from Boston on our first trip to Panama, we wanted a day that would work for everyone. This tour delivered. Our tour was the morning the day after a massive earthquake, which had us a little uneasy. Rafa Jr. and Eliel were responsive throughout, kept us informed, and made us feel completely at ease. They picked us up right on time at 8am. We toured Panama City, saw the canal locks on both the Pacific and Atlantic sides, and were dropped off at our cruise in Colón. Rafa was awesome. He’s knowledgeable and personable, and he mixed history with humor in a way that kept all of us engaged, even my 8-year-old. Highlight recommend!

Private 6 hours Discover Colon City & Atlantic Ocean Tour Panama
A Fun Experience!
At the last minute we decided that we wanted to see the locks Agua Clara and Gatun on the Atlantic side and the Caribbean side of Panama. Angel, the tour company owner, answered our call and said he would do the tour. The weather for the day forecast rain, but you never know if it will happen so off we went to Agua Clara. It was a good trip made special by Angel’s historical facts. The locks were not at all crowded so we got an up close view of a huge ship going through the locks. We went to Colon, but it is not a place I would recommend. On the way back to our hotel Angel got off the highway and drove through a beautiful national park. It did rain, but the rain didn’t dampen our experience!
