The best place to experience The Panama Canal is in the former U.S. Canal Zone town of Gamboa, where The Chagres River meets Gatun Lake in Soberania National Park. Here you will enjoy one of the most famous wildlife viewing and bird watching trails in the world, The Pipeline Road, where the world record for the most bird species seen in a 24 hour period was set 11 years in a row.
This private tour consists of a hike through the tropical rainforest with a knowledgeable guide, and among capuchin and howler monkeys, toucans and sloths, you will learn about Panama's history and culture.
But better than this, you will also cruise on an outboard engine boat next to ships that transit through the isthmus. You'll experience the ecology and history behind The Panama Canal and Gatun lake. We'll cruise the side channels of the canal, around isles where we're likely to see more monkeys, crocodiles and exotic birds.

The snipe we sailed on was Sirena. Small capacity. 600+ people. Staff 400+ staff. Staff was amazing.friendly ,and helpful. Ship was immaculate, clean and beautiful. Restaurants were lovely, but only two that reservations were required for. Food was delicious and my husband and I are picky eaters. The excursions were disappointing. The wine tastings on board were 5 star. We had a Penthouse suite. Lovely. Our favorite part of the day was sitting on our deck enjoying beautiful views and a cocktail. Our butler, Kavita was amazing! My suggestion would be to read the excursion descriptions very carefully These are not run by Oceania. We were expecting a more sophisticated approach but ended up in some less than desirable locations and we complained. We were not looking for compensation, just wanted Oceania to know that they needed to be more definitive with the descriptions of the excursions. We cancelled our last excursion due to the others being subpar. They were very gracious and refunded one of them which we cancelled last minute and we’re not expecting any refund. Extremely organized as far as departure and embarkation. Fitness center and spa were lovely. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Our trip on the Viking Sky from Fort Lauderdale to LA via the Panama Canal was overall excellent. The staff in particular were extremely helpful, considerate and friendly. The food was excellent. The ship itself was beautiful and our cabin was comfortable. There were many enrichment lectures -- some rather dry -- and activities to enjoy. Some of the days at sea dragged a little, but I think this might be true of any extended voyage. The trip through the Canal with commentary was just great. The port excursions did not really live up to expectations, with one exception -- a river cruise in Costa Rica, where the guides made a real effort to show us birds and wildlife. Most of the excursions were long bus rides, one stop at an interesting place, followed by one stop at a shopping area. The guides varied greatly in expertise. I understand that Viking has to depend on local contractors for these excursions. Addressing some issues that have been mentioned in previous reviews -- one of the 4 washers in our laundry room was out of service and if 2 had not been working, this would have been a real problem. It did not seem there was any plan to fix it before the ship got to London (this was the first leg of a world cruise). The toilet occasionally stopped flushing, but the issue resolved itself before it became a crisis. There was a medical center on board and one guest who had an injury reported good care. A number of passengers, including myself, had mobility issues, but it seemed all I had to to was put out an arm and a sturdy crewman was there to assist me.

John is an amazing bilingual guide - personable and very knowledgeable about history and culture as well as the wildlife. It was worth it to start our tour at 530am so we could experience the rainforest by ourselves. We hiked for about two hours and four miles (some flat and some moderate), but as this is a private tour I think you could be modified depending on your interest and ability. John had lots of different snack and drink options for us and made us a lovely picnic breakfast. Afterwards we enjoyed a 1.5 hour boat ride on Gatun lake. We requested a drop off at the Mirador locks so we could watch the IMAX movie and explore the locks on our own. This tour is priced similarly to other group tours and was a really special experience. We highly recommend this tour and any tour with John.

I did this private tour with my husband. We really enjoyed our experience. We started early, but being one of the first boats on the lake was worth it. We were able to see several animals, including all 3 species of monkey living on the islands, many different bird species, crocodiles, turtles, and an iguana. We had breakfast after the boat ride, which was simple, delicious Panamanian food and very good coffee. Then we went on our nature walk and spotted a very rare porcupine, sloth, agoutis, birds, leaf cutter ants, and army ants, as well as a wide variety of plants. The trail was rocky but flat and took about 30-40 minutes to go about 1.3 miles. Our guide, Paola, was very knowledgeable and fun and gave us a lot of excellent information about the plants, animals, and Panama history, including a lot of facts about the Panama canal. They were so kind, accommodating, and professional, and picked us up right on time. They were responsive to our emails. We would 100% recommend this tour for an excellent half day trip to appreciate the beautiful nature Panama has to offer!

This tour was amazing. John is a fantastic tour guide and really knows what he is talking about. This is a great chance to see the canal and its surrounding nature both by foot and by boat. This is a must-do tour if you are visiting Panama for the first time.

The entire eco tour was wonderful. The 5-mile hike in the national park was super. Seeing (& hearing) Howler monkeys was thrilling. John was super knowledgeable and made the whole experience fabulous. I highly recommend this tour.
