Visiting the Panama Canal was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my trip to Panama. This unique Panama Canal boat tour, which only takes place on Sundays, allowed us to board a vessel and pass directly through the canal’s historic locks—a rare opportunity that brings this world-famous engineering marvel to life. As we navigated the canal, our guide explained its fascinating history, complex engineering, and critical role in global trade, making the experience both educational and awe-inspiring. Seeing massive ships transit the locks while learning how the canal transformed international commerce was truly a bucket-list moment and a must-do excursion for anyone visiting Panama City.
