    This tour was fantastic! The combination of the locks and the fort was just right in terms of duration. Our guide Leo stood out as he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and personable. I highly recommend asking for Leo when you book this tour.Peter_M
  1. Caribbean catamaran day cruise to Venas Azules and Playa Drake, Colon4

    4. Caribbean catamaran day cruise to Venas Azules and Playa Drake

    4.4· 37 reviews

    Full-day catamaran trip from Panama City — scenic drive, 1.5 hours in Venas Azules, 2.5 hours at Playa Drake, and a local lunch onboard.

    If you're pressed for time in Panama City, I recommend this tour. The boat may be older and not what I anticipated, but it was comfortable, and the captain along with the staff were fantastic. Venas Azules and Drake Beach are adventurous hidden gems. Plus, the drive from the city to Colón was beautiful, highlighting authentic parts of Panama. I would certainly do this again.LaChante_L

    5. Full-day catamaran cruise in Portobelo National Park

    4.4· 131 reviews

    A full day on the water exploring Playa Drake and Venas Azules — snorkeling, kayaking, and a relaxing lunch included, with hotel pickup from Colón available.

    I had a wonderful day; the trip matched the description perfectly. I loved spending time on the water. Just a heads up, it is about a one-hour drive from Panama City, so it makes for a lengthy day.Rachel_P
