Sailing through the engineering masterpiece that connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean is a bucket-list event on its own, but along the way you’ll also visit other exciting tropical destinations steeped in culture, history, and natural beauty.
Explore the breath-taking beaches of Cabo San Lucas, the colourful colonial architecture of Cartagena, and
the buzzing jungles of Costa Rica. Meet the locals and learn about the inner workings of the Panama Canal’s locks. Take an Eco Cruise on Lake Gatun or discover legends of pirates among the ruins of Panama Viejo.
The Emberá people are an indigenous group who still live in traditional villages deep in the rainforest of Panama. Travel along the river in dugout canoes and be welcomed by traditional dances and the tribal chief. Interact with the Emberá people who are proud to share their culture and traditions.
Interact with dolphins, in Cabo San Lucas, by stroking them, playing with them, and even getting a wet dolphin kiss! Of course the highlight of the activity is zooming across the water with an exciting belly ride or dorsal tow or even an exciting underwater swim with the dolphins! You can choose which one out of the three you want to do.
Explore the most historical parts of the city and its picturesque streets,
particularly within the walled city (La Ciudad Amurallada), an UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll find tons of colourful colonial architecture, flowers, artists, and people selling trinkets on the streets.
Float through mysterious limestone archways that lead into the mouths of century-old caves and hold untold stories of Mayan rituals. Explore the formations that decorate these amazing caves and feel the rush of cool water as you roam into small waterfalls.
Experience the exquisite beauty of Costa Rica by zip lining through the tropical forest. Be on the lookout for Scarlet Macaws, howler monkeys, white tail deer and several other varieties of aquatic birds. Also, endangered tree species such as Mahogany trees are protected at the park.
Enter the crystal-clear water and explore the amazing undersea world of Curacao that thrives with multi-coloured coral reefs, tropical fish and marine life, and an opportunity to swim with the turtles that frequently visit Playa Grandi.
