Our
tour starts at the Flamenco Resort and
Marina at 9:30 a.m. Passengers board motor
coaches for a 45 minute ride to the town of
Gamboa where the Panama Canal Dredging
Division is located. Once in Gamboa,
passengers board the Pacific Queen to start
the water portion of the tour. We enter the
canal at the north end of the Gailard cut,
where the Chagres River flows into the
canal. The Gaillard Cut (also known as
Culebra Cut because its curves resemble a
snake) is one of the main points of interest
for visitors because it was carved through
the Continental Divide and this section of
the Canal is full of history and geological
value. The Pacific Queen will travel the
Cut's 13.7 kilometers on the way to Pedro
Miguel Locks. As you transit the Cut you
will be able to appreciate the continuous
maintenance that this area requires, because
it is very susceptible to landslides. In
this area you will also be able to observe
the work in process for the Panama Canal
expansion project.
Before reaching the Pedro Miguel Locks at
the southern end of the Cut, you will be
able to view the new Centennial Bridge which
crosses over the Canal. Next, the Pacific
Queen will enter Pedro Miguel Locks, which
is one of the two sets of locks on the
Pacific side, and here the vessel is lowered
9 meters in one step. You will then enter
Miraflores Lake, which is a small artificial
body of fresh water that separates Pedro
Miguel from Miraflores Locks, the latter
being the final set of locks before reaching
the Pacific Ocean. At Miraflores Locks the
vessel is lowered 18 meters in two distinct
steps.
Once in the Pacific Ocean the vessel will
sail to the beautiful Flamenco Marina where
passengers disembark. On the way to
Flamenco, you will pass under the Bridge of
the Americas, and later, you will be able to
admire the Bay of Panama and Panama City's
splendorous skyline.
Tour includes:
Bilingual guide/narrator.
Full lunch.
Soft drinks and water (all you can drink).
Transportation by bus from Panama City
(Flamenco Resort & Marina) to Gamboa where
the tour starts.
You can find our transit dates here.
Price:
Adults - $115
Children (under 12) - $65
What to bring: Comfortable clothes and shoes,
hat, sun block, sunglasses, camera, umbrella
or raincoat and money for souvenirs.

of time. Car transfer from

One

personality is downright belligerent. It is
a fish so powerful that it can destroy
tackle, straighten hooks and tear the
hardware right out of hardwood and plastic
baits. The fiercest fighting fish in the
world will smash and mangle lures, even
break them apart, and then give you the
battle of your life." by
Larry Larsen
