Wonderful experience on Pacific Queen! - Unfortunately watching a yacht try and do a u-turn in the loch as a visitor touring boat was laeking a great deal of oil. The yacht hit the wall with the metal part at the front of it. Pacific Queen did a great job of getting out of the loch and into the one next to it. The lockmaster did not want to contaminate our boat~Pacific Queen. Staff were great, food was very nice and there was a great fun atmosphere.

Highly recommend - I truly believe this was an adventure of a lifetime to say I traveled on a boat through the Panama Canal:). I loved this experience so much. The reviews from others are correct in that yes it’s a long day. However the experience is again so worth it. My husband and I met a van near our hotel where we drove 45 minutes-1 hour to the boat. I will say the only negative part was at that point there’s one person scanning your ticket and no lines so people were pushing and shoving to get their tickets scanned. Then two people put wrist bands on and you walked onboard. Definitely need an obvious checkin point with more than one scanner. The food for lunch (chicken, sausage, salad, rice) was very good. You could purchase beverages. Edwin the boats announcer was phenomenal! He gave so much history and knowledge in both Spanish and English flawlessly and was so great. It made the trip much more lively. Once completed the van took us back to the hotel— very easy. Time total was about 6.5 hours but again highly recommend!

Memorable trip - Panama Canal southbound boat trip was memorable. Very scenic. Going through the locks was awesome. Well coordinated trip

Flawless & Fascinating! - What an unforgettable experience! From the on-time hotel pick-up to the on-time hotel drop-off later that day and the boat ride in between this experience was flawless and fascinating. At our boat boarding location we watched as the Canal traffic shifted directions from Northbound to Southbound and we waited for our boat pairing — an automotive transport carrier with which we would pass through the locks on the journey ahead. The ride was easy, peaceful and educational as the boat tour guide chimed in on the intercom to explain our experience at every fascinating turn. We enjoyed lunch on the boat that was delicious Panamanian fare — and, the rest of the time we were taking in every site and sitting in constant awe of this engineering marvel. To navigate through the locks was an unforgettable experience and the size/scale at which ships move with precision is simply unbelievable. And, the tug boats equally amazing. All around, a phenomenal experience. And, we’ve recommended this tour to friends and family should they find themselves in Panama!

Excellent. - Wonderful, a great work of engineering, the operation of the canal is fascinating and leaves great revenue for the government of Panama.

Panama Canal - This was a great experience overall. The staff was friendly and the food offered was good. Just be prepared to deal with the poor mannerisms of some tourist.

Great way to see the canal! - Tour guides were informative and helpful. Meal on the ship was very good. Seeing the canal and locks from the water was a sight to be remembered. Great trip. Be sure to bring a hat and sunscreen!

Excellent canal ride experience - Great view of the canal, comfortable boat, food and drink service on board. Unforgettable tour and possibility of great photos

Panama Canal experience - Actually being in the 2 locks and experiencing it with a gigantic ship right behind us was awesome. Everything was well organized.

Long day on the canal - It was interesting when the locks were raising and lowering. Overall, it was way too long of a day. I recommend watching the locks in operation from the shore.
