Sightseeing Tours & Trips in Panama

Get thorough sightseeing through Panama's main attractions, from the Miraflores Locks Visitor Center to Casco Antiguo's colonial architecture with around 800 historic buildings. The trip includes guided tours of Bolívar Hall, Las Bóvedas monument, and La Merced Church, plus island-hopping to spot bottlenose dolphins and the Red Frog species.

Ride the Hop-On Hop-Off double-decker bus around Panama City, with stops at the Miraflores Locks to see the Panama Canal's engineering and the Biomuseum on Amador Causeway. Snorkel in the clear waters of Isla Iguana Wildlife Refuge, where you'll see colorful coral reefs and tropical fish, then head to UNESCO-listed Coiba National Park to swim with whitetip reef sharks and sea turtles at Granito de Oro.

The full-day boat journey takes you through the Panama Canal's massive Miraflores locks and across Lake Gatun, where you'll watch cargo ships navigate this engineering marvel up close. Boquete's cloud forest features hanging bridges at around 1,200m elevation, and Bastimentos Island offers snorkeling at Coral Cay and time on Red Frog Beach.

Take the historic Panama Railway through thick jungle alongside the Panama Canal from Panama City to Colón, then watch huge cargo ships move through the Pedro Miguel and Miraflores locks as you cross part of the canal. You'll see the UNESCO-listed ruins of Panama Viejo from the 1500s and Fort San Lorenzo, both destroyed by pirate Henry Morgan.

Walk through UNESCO-listed Casco Antiguo to see 17th-century colonial buildings and San José Church's golden altar, then check out the Panama Viejo ruins dating back to 1519. Stop at Miraflores Locks to watch massive ships navigate the canal, and hike suspension bridges through Boquete's cloud forest at 1,200m elevation.
