Panama Canal excursion choice

[Hapreader]

Hi, we are headed on the Bliss to the Panama Canal.   Which would be the better excursion:  US Heritage in Panama or Panama Experience + IMAX .

thanks, appreciate any responses.

That would depend on your interests.

Since we are not familiar with the excursions named, we can’t really advise.  We need to know what is included…the description.  EM

From what I know about similar versions of US Heritage in Panama, this is a tour that takes you to installations that were previously military bases and to the civilian towns that were operated by the Panama Canal/CanalZone Government.  The description says it does take you to Miraflores Locks as well.  Except for the visit to Miraflores Locks, unless you had served a tour or two with the military or had a close connection with the PC/CZG I really don't think there is a whole lot that would be of interest to you regarding the focal point of the tour.

 

The Panama Experience takes you over to the Atlantic side to visit the new Agua Clara Locks and then to Miraflores Locks to view an IMAX presentation narrated Morgan Freeman.  The tour description does not indicate if you will have time to view the operation at Miraflores Locks.  The IMAX presentation is excellent and Agua Clara Locks are worth seeing, but it really doesn't take that long to see them and if there isn't a ship in the locks... well there isn't a lot to observe.  You will have about 3 hours of bus ride to view the country side.

Thank you very much for your reply.  3 hours of bus travel, Ugh .

I’m glad you clarified the U.S. heritage excursion, That really wouldn’t be for us.
