Short Panama Canal Tour: Miraflores Locks & IMAX - Afternoon

We begin the tour by picking you up from your city hotel at approximately 3:20 PM, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free start to the experience. From there, we head directly to the Panama Canal Miraflores Visitor Center, one of the country’s most iconic landmarks. This visit is scheduled so that 100% you will see ships, including massive vessels passing through the locks just meters away, some of which pay over USD 120,000 to transit the Panama Canal, underscoring its vital role in global trade. You’ll have time to explore the observation decks and learn how the locks operate, as well as the history behind this world-famous engineering marvel. Before the movie, you can relax at the visitor center’s cafeteria and enjoy refreshments with Canal views. The experience concludes with the impressive IMAX movie, bringing the story and impact of the Panama Canal vividly to life.
