Partial Canal Transit

The Partial Canal Transit from Balboa or Gamboa takes place every Saturday and Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays during the High Season from January through March. This tour gives you the opportunity to transit one set of Locks. The ship departs from Balboa and goes right into the Miraflores Locks; the ship is raised up to 54 feet in a two steps process. This activity is achieved by sending water from Pedro Miguel’s lake by gravity to fill the chambers where the ship is locked. Once the process is finished, get into Pedro Miguel’s Lake. Calling at Gamboa you are then transferred to a bus to return to Balboa approximately at 12:30 p.m.

The other version of the partial transit departs Flamenco by bus to Gamboa to take the boat that will transit the locks lowering it from the lake to the ocean taking you back to the Flamenco pier. Transportation will be waiting for transfer to Hotel in both cases. The tour includes breakfast or sandwiches. Also some Fridays a night transit is possible from Flamenco to Gamboa by boat returning by autobus to Flamenco. No transits are scheduled for Christmas or New Year.
