We are going on th Coral Princess Panama Canal March 28th and are wondering what side tours everyone would recommended. We are seniors, but active ones. Thanks to all

We did the Rain Forest Tour and loved it! Lots enjoyed the Canal Trip....ziplining should be fun....would probably do now that I have been to Costa Rica.

We did the Tortuego (sp) Canal tour and had a blast. Saw all sorts of animals, sloths, monkeys, birds, alligators, etc. The guides were very friendly. Overall a great tour.

When we were on the Coral we did the combo rain forest and canal tour. It was awesome. :)

We're going in Jan. and we're going on the Jungle Pontoon Adventure through Princess and I have heard it is great. I like slow boats and not too much walking for my husband. We booked the earliest tour as we hear the birds and animals go into the jungle after seeing a few tourist boats. Sue

Was on the Coral in 11/04---we did the Sloth sanctuary tour---I think it is good but not great. Was very interesting and the wildlife and scenery were nice. When I was in Costa Rica [land tour] in 2000 I was in Tortuguero for a few days and would highly recommend the Tortuguero canal cruises---just fabulous scenery and wildlife!!

I agree with the other posters. We were on the Coral for the 12/10-12/20 cruise and took the Cost Rica's Favorites tour (arial tram and Tortugero Canal cruise). The tram was peaceful and pretty, but no wildlife except a few butterflies and an Eyelash Pit Viper in a garden near the tram station (pretty interesting!). A very good gift shop at the tram (not any other shopping time since this is an all day tour). The cruise was the highlight - all the wildlife mentioned above! Our guide was top notch! I posted a full review and a thread on the trip.

Have a great cruise!

When I get to Costa Rica again, I'd love to try that ziplining. I think the same folks who run Costa Rica Bungee (yeah, I did that on my last trip) have a ziplining tour as well. Wonder if there's any weight limits on the ziplining though? I weigh about 180 pounds ... which can balloon up to nearly 190 on a good cruise. :)

I see you everywhere Kyros(I think I spend too much time online and on this board) On Ziplining, there is no wieght limit that I know. I did it last year with a group and one of the guys had to be 250lbs. I was 175 pounds at the time and it just made me go faster - wheeeeeeee. You have to do it, a major rush
