Best Gatun Lake Excursion for Families

[bigdaddyyo]

It is our first time visiting the Panama Canal and we are looking for the best Gatun Lake excursions for families.  We are on the HAL Rotterdam in November.  There are 4 of us, 2 kids are ages 15 and 7.  Just wanting to find the best excursion.  We are pretty much up for anything.

Not sure if I can suggest anything, I'm not quite sure on what you mean by Gatun Lake excursion.  All the Rotterdam's excursions will begin in Gatun Lake, some will actually involve the Lake as in the Monkey excursion or kayaking.  However once leaving Gatun Lake, there are a number of other excursions that involve going to the locks, tours of Panama City or a trip to see the Embera Indians.  Being honest, not sure how much interests these tours will be to kids with that age span, but there should be elements of any tour that would be of interest.

Since the kids might have different interests due to the age difference, perhaps consider splitting up, different excursions, one kid per parent.  EM
