A private helicopter journey from Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport in Albrook crosses the isthmus from ocean to ocean, flying the full length of the Panama Canal from the Pacific to the Caribbean.
It begins with pickup at your hotel in Panama City and a private transfer to the heliport. From the air, the scale of this engineering feat unfolds in full: the Pacific locks — Miraflores, Pedro Miguel and Cocolí — the Borinquen Dam, the Centennial Bridge, and the Culebra Cut carving through the mountains. The flight continues over Gatún Lake and its dam, reaching the mouth of the Chagres River on the Caribbean side, where you'll see Fort San Lorenzo — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and the Gatún and Agua Clara Locks, the latter part of the Canal's 2016 expansion.
Before returning, the flight offers a privileged view of Panama City's skyline, its historic neighborhoods, the Pacific entrance to the Canal, and the Bridge of the Americas. Upon landing, the transfer back to your hotel is included.
Exclusive aircraft, no shared departures — every flight is private, at your own pace.
Food, beverages, special arrangements and any other particular requirement can be coordinated ahead of the flight to tailor the experience to your occasion or preference.
