There are smaller islands for swimming and snorkeling, and larger islands where we navigate an extensive mangrove system. The Panama Canal remains one of engineering's greatest triumphs, connecting two oceans by an ingenious network of dams and locks. After disembarking the Temptress Explorer in Balboa, we board a local Panamanian boat for the full-day transit. We cruise by lush tropical islands, originally mountain peaks that were flooded by the creation of Gatun Lake. After transiting the Canal, we reboard the Temptress Explorer for our farewell dinner and last night aboard.
