All Colon Tours & Excursions in 2026

This was our best excursion during our week-long stay in Panama. It started with an early hotel pick up because we had a 2.5 hour drive to get to the carribean side. We were the only Travellers that day, so we got VIP private service. We were taking to a engine powered canoe at the dock to meet the catamaran. Once there, my husband i discovered that we were the only passengers enjoying the excursion today. Wow! Capt Juan and his other crew member (who happened to be his mom who was also on vacation) gave us the full experience as advertised. We set said to some of the remote island areas along the carribean coast of Colon. We disembarked the catamaran on a small dingy to tour the mangroves and walk and swim in the shallow ocean area. Once back at the catamaran we sailed to another area, anchored and my husband i were provided kayaks and paddle boards. We swam, and walked the shore. Thank you Juan's mom for the excellent lunch. On the 45 minute sail back to meet our driver, Capt Juan played awesome Bosa Nova music. We sat on the front of the boat and let the ocean breeze relax us. This trip was one for our vacation memory books. Thank you Viator.

This tour greatly added to my experience of visiting the canal. We arrived at a perfect time to see ships going through, were guided through lines and security, and told the best lookout points. The timing for the ships and IMAX was excellent. Plus we learned more about the canal on the drive in both directions. I am so glad I chose this tour as my way to visit.

Definitely a must to understand the locking system . The tour around Panama City - the new tower blocks and photo stops worked well . Walking round beautiful old Panama was interesting with lots of photo opportunities. We loved it . We had snacks and drinks on the way back to the cruise ship and we were back on time . Jenny was a fabulous tour guide her knowledge of the country gave us a great insight into Panama life . She was great and so was our lovely driver .
