adakat Posted October 24, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have tried searching several forums for feedback on this tour but there doesn't appear to be much posted. Here are a few of my questions: The description said that you take a 15-minute ride from Colon to Sol Melina. I tried looking up Sol Melina and I couldn't find ANY information on it. Is it a tourist destination, a town, a lake, a river?? This excursion is 4 hours and there is only approximately 1 hour spent kayaking "in this peaceful setting." Where do you kayak? Doesn't 1 hour seem kind of short for the kayak portion? The description also said you have an opportunity to visit the Gatun locks. Is a small tour included? Or do you just look at the locks operate as ships move through? If anyone has been on this excursion, a recap of your experience would be VERY much appreciated! Thank you!

kyrisong1 Posted October 24, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I've not been on this tour but have been to panama recently and visited the locks, I'll bet the kayaking is on lake gatlan, I know they have an observation tower there that people could stand and watch the ships go through. We paid the bucks and took a locks by ferry tour, I'll never do it again cause once you've done it it's old stuff. BUT it was very cool and I wouldn't have skipped it for the world. Wish I would have brought our own lunch though,the mystery meat served was icky!!! Have a great trip and think about doing the canal by ferry if you haven't done it, it's a really cool experience. Happy sails, Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
