Panama Canal Tour: Miraflores Locks and Canal Zone

Have you ever wondered how a 300-metre boat rises and falls water levels to cross between two oceans? This private Pacific tour of the Panama Canal takes you beyond observing : you’ll understand how it works in real time as you witness vessels transit through Miraflores Locks. Explore the old Canal Zone and learn how it was lived, the restrictions that existed and the path to the Torrijos-Carter Treaties, key in the transfer of the canal to Panama. Enjoy spectacular views from the Amador Causeway and visit the Canal Administration Building, the Bridge of the Americas, the Centennial Bridge and the Corte Culebra. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, families or groups — even better with 4+ people, preferential rates. Note: Miraflores Visitor Center is under renovation until 2027; ticket is not included.
