Caribbean coast & Canal combination from Panama City visiting the expanded Agua Clara Locks, a Gatun Lake rainforest boat safari, and UNESCO-listed Spanish colonial Fort San Lorenzo.

Panama Canal Experience Format: Atlantic Expansion Visitor Center (Agua Clara Locks) + Gatun Lake Boat + Fort San Lorenzo. Always check whether a tour observes the locks from land viewing terraces (Miraflores or Agua Clara), rides a small expedition boat on Gatun Lake, or boards a passenger vessel that physically locks through the Canal chambers. Compare all four formats in our Panama Canal tours guide.
