This partial canal transit from Balboa or Gamboa gives you the opportunity to travel through one set of locks.

Departing from Balboa your ship goes right into the Miraflores Locks, where it is raised up to 54 feet in a two-step process. This is achieved using gravity to send water from the Pedro Miguel Lake to fill the chambers inside which the ship is locked. Once the process is finished, the ship finds itself in Pedro Miguel Lake.

At Gamboa, you are then transferred to a bus to return to Balboa. The other version of the partial transit departs Flamenco by bus to Gamboa to take the boat that will travel the locks lowering it from the lake to the ocean taking you back to the Flamenco pier.

Transportation will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel. The tour includes breakfast or sandwiches. Also, some Fridays an evening boat excursion is possible from Flamenco to Gamboa, returning by bus to Flamenco. No trips are scheduled for Christmas or New Year’s.
