FAQ

Common Questions

Here's what you need to know before you book your canal adventure.

Swimming isn't allowed within the canal itself due to local regulations. These trips are all about sightseeing and relaxing on deck. If you're keen on a dip in the water, we suggest booking a sea route starting from the Marina instead.

Yes, the bridges and the waterfall operate on specific schedules. We plan your itinerary to align with these openings so you get the best experience. We'll keep you updated via WhatsApp on the day of your trip to ensure everything runs smoothly.
