As you glide along the water, enjoy included refreshments and a delicious buffet lunch, making this a perfect outing for families and history enthusiasts alike. Your tour begins at the Amador Causeway, offering stunning views of Naos, Perico, and Flamenco Islands, linked by a road built from materials excavated during the canal's construction.
