Panama vacations feature natural beauty, biological diversity, colonial history and indigenous culture. Discover volcanoes, rivers, waterfalls, jungle, cloud forest, coastal lagoons, coral reef and white-sand beaches. Explore on foot, and by boat, snorkel, kayak, paddleboard, zipline, horseback and train. Take in UNESCO World Heritage sites, colonial forts, thatched huts and coffee farms. Learn about the region’s pirate and pearling history, Spanish heritage and tribal customs. Visit the Panama Canal and the largest protected area in Central America, Darién National Park. Along the way, your naturalist guide helps you spot more bird, mammal, reptile and plant species than the U.S. and Canada have combined.

Panama Canal Vacations

Many travelers want their Panama vacation to visit the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal acts as a vital connection between the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, directing nearly 14,000 ships each year through more than 50 miles of locks and lakes.

There are many ways to experience the Panama Canal. A large portion of Panama small ship cruises complete a full transit of the canal, either by night or day. Most of our Panama land tours include a day trip to visit the Panama Canal and take in its mighty system of locks, from land. Our Panama experts help ensure your Panama Canal experience is exactly what you want.

Your Family Trip to Panama

Many Panama vacation packages are family-friendly. Enjoy a balanced daily schedule of activity and downtime. Zipline or whitewater raft in the morning, then beachcomb and snorkel right from your rainforest lodge. Seek wildlife on a dayboat or by kayak, followed by a relaxing picnic lunch. Take in the traditions of the Embera tribe, including music, dance, and the opportunity for body painting, then make a swim stop at a nearby waterfall.

Our Panama Family Adventure has it all, or ask an Adventure Specialist to build a custom itinerary tailored to your ideal family trip to Panama.

Panama vacations feature biological diversity, colonial history & indigenous culture.
