Costa Rica & Panama Canal Adventure

Enjoy the Panama Canal from a unique vantage point aboard the Pacific Queen. During our partial transit, we learn the history of this significant engineering feat and see its dramatic locks in a way that’s only possible by small boat passage. Savor an included lunch with beautiful views as the locks raise and lower our ship. Afterwards, the bucket list experience of seeing two oceans in one day is completed with a drive to the Agua Clara Locks.

Hidden among Panama’s lush rainforest near the Chagres River, Embera Quera is a living testament to the resilience of a community determined to preserve its heritage. Admire the beautiful scenery as we glide along the river in a dugout canoe to the village, where the Emberá people welcome us with a traditional song. After a fascinating cultural presentation, we savor a delicious lunch and browse their exquisite handmade crafts. We also see a spectacular performance of traditional Emberá dance and music – you’ll be invited to dance too!

Watch the untamed beauty of Costa Rica unfold in this beautiful sanctuary, where nature is found in its purest form. Experience premier wildlife viewing on a flat-bottomed boat excursion along the Rio Frio, where you may see a capuchin monkey swinging through trees overhead! As our expert guide divulges hidden secrets about the natural wonders here, have your camera ready to capture other wildlife, such as alligators and sloths.

Indulge your senses in the world of coffee at this family-owned coffee estate in Costa Rica. Nestled amidst the slopes of Poas Volcano, we enjoy an immersive journey into the art of coffee cultivation. Stroll through the coffee fields, then engage in a hands-on exploration of the coffee production process, from harvesting to roasting and grinding. Our hosts provide insight into Costa Rica’s and the estate’s rich history with coffee. We conclude with savoring the distinct flavors of Doka’s premium blends while surrounded by gorgeous views.
