Day 2 Met and transferred to Balboa Harbor on the Pacific side of the canal. There you will board a Panamanian ferry for a canal transit. As you approach the canal, you will be able to observe the Bridge of the Americas. Breakfast and snacks are included while you are aboard the ship. An English-speaking guide is onboard the ferry and will narrate the dramatic history of the building of the Panama Canal, which was completed by the US between 1904 and 1914. A full crossing is scheduled allowing you to enjoy the cruise all the way to Colon City on the Caribbean Coast. You will reach Colon around 5:00 PM where you will be met and transferred back to your hotel.
Day 3 A free day for personal exploration.  The city has a lovely colonial quarter ideal for exploring on foot.  We would recommend making your way to the Casco Viejo part of the city to walk the cobbled streets and visit the presidential palace.
Day 4 Met and transferred to the airport for your internal flight to Bocas del Toro.  Met on arrival and transferred by road and speedboat to Punta Caracol Acqua lodge for 4 nights on a half board basis.

Day 9 The lodge used to be a US watch tower and then an observatory and has now been transformed into a superb birding lodge.  You will hopefully see some of the following birds directly from the lodge; Green and Red legged Honeycreepers, Green-shrike Vireo, Blue Cotinga , Scaled Pigeon, Mealy and Red lored Amazon, Keel-billed Toucan, Chestnut-mandibled Toucan.  The lodge includes a range of activities for birders and non birders alike.
