Panama Canal Helicopter Tour

Panama Canal by Helicopter

An Exclusive Ocean-to-Ocean Aerial Journey Along the Panama Canal

The Ultimate Panama Canal Helicopter Tour
Two Oceans - One Extraordinary Flight

Experience the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Panama Canal like never before—a breathtaking, one-hour aerial adventure in a six passenger luxury helicopter. From this unrivaled vantage point, witness colossal ocean vessels threading through this legendary waterway—a masterpiece of human ingenuity embraced by lush emerald rainforest.

Departing from Panama City's Albrook Airport, your helicopter lifts off and ascends over this engineering marvel, where the shimmering blue channel slices through Panama’s vibrant jungle, creating a mesmerizing fusion of nature and innovation. As you hover above this vital global trade artery, watch Neo-Panamax ships navigate the intricate lock system with remarkable precision—a choreography of steel and water visible only from the sky.

Upon reaching the Caribbean Sea, history unfolds beneath you. Gaze upon Fort San Lorenzo, a centuries-old Spanish stronghold that once safeguarded South America’s riches on their journey to Europe. Then, fly over the Colón Free Zone, the second-largest duty-free port in the world—a true economic powerhouse.

Your veteran pilot ensures unparalleled views and picture-perfect moments, while an optional guide enriches your journey with captivating insights into the canal’s storied past and modern global significance. Then, as your return journey begins, behold the majestic skyline of Panama City emerging on the horizon, the iconic Bridge of the Americas, and the vast Bay of Panama, where ships await their turn to traverse this legendary passage between two oceans.

There is no better way to see the Panama Canal than from 1,000 feet above the ground in a helicopter.
