Full transit Panama Canal - Amazing experience made more exciting by the extreme weather conditions on Carribbean side. The guide onboard was very knowledgeable about the area and gave a full account of the history to the the background of this incredible fete of engineering.

Don’t hesitate to take the tour - From the very start, the staff, the meals, Edwin’s excellent narration, the welcome air-conditioned cabin, everything was top notch. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My thanks to everyone involved.

Unlock your leaves to see the Miraflore locks - Very interesting and exciting experience to see the locks and the lake was completely awesome. It's a must visit for anyone who like nature and wants to see the old architecture

A must do! - What an amazing way to see this engineering wonder of the world!! It is a long day, but well worth it! I was well taken care of the entire day, as the staff are attentive, and our tour guide, Edwin, answered all questions knowledgeably. You will take tons of pictures. Once over, the bus trip back to Panama City goes very quickly. This is a must if you have a whole day available.

Once in a life time - It was a very organized trip. You could hear the narration throughout the boat and all transfers were timely. We did the full transit, but you could do the half and be ok if you had a lot you are short on time.

Fun but long and no food for vegetarians - We did the full tour. For the most part it was very fun and worth the trip but it was very long for us as the canal ran into an issue so we ended up ending 2.5 hours later than expected. Your whole day will be gone if you do the full tour but you also get to see a lot more on the full tour. They don’t have much vegetarian options for people though. I would suggest bring your own snacks or food if you are vegetarian.

Beautiful service for one of the most wonderful destinations in the world - The Panama Canal is one of the wonders of the modern world and deserves to be visited on an excursion that honors it. Panama Marine Adventure services were provided with a very low quality infrastructure. The boat, in a visible state of deterioration, is uncomfortable for the number of passengers it carries, broken and smelly. The chimney of the ship is very low and, depending on the wind direction, the fumes from the engine reach the passengers on the upper deck. Also, the food service was deplorable. We do not take any of the meals offered, given their poor quality, appalling appearance and smell and doubtful food safety. We only drank water we bought on board. We rescue the work of the guide and the bus driver on the Columbus-Perico Island tour.

Not worth a full day - It was great how the canal worked. The food was not good and the tour should not take all day! Full transit should not be an option. I booked, based on the previous reviews and was fooled. I appreciate the young lady understanding my concern and helped me to get back to the city
