You need to go to the roll call section of the forum for tour shares.

Here is a link to the HAL Roll Calls, select your ship and then the sail date.

Here is your roll call, it is not (very) active, but it is still the only place to post about private tours or activities. Good luck, that is a cruise I have thought about!

You can't take private tours in Panama. Only passengers booked on a HAL tour may leave the ship in Lake Gatun. I suppose you could do a private tour from Colon, but I wouldn't recommend it. Arrival time there is approximate, so you wouldn't have a lot of time.

The itinerary has other ports; two of the ABC islands for instance.

OP asked about Panama Ports, so I thought the question was about Lake Gatun and Colon.

It was good to fill OP in on that "complication". It's all good!

The 2 times we arrived in Colon after dropping off passengers in Gatun Lake, there was no time for anyone to get off the ship to take a private tour.  A few people did get off to look at the shops right at the pier.  But the lines to get back on the ship were very long.

We got back to Colon ahead of the ship, even with horrible slow traffic in Colon (another reason not to risk a private tour there). Not a lot to see or do there other than the shops at the port. It was horribly hot and we were very happy to get back on the ship when it did arrive. This time, I'll stay on board and watch the locking in both directions.
