You can (should?) experience a canal transit:
A partial canal transit tour operates three times a month, every Saturdays, except for the day when it operates as a full transit. We took the full transit tour and enjoyed it very much. After all the partial tour tourists leave (after 4 hours), there is a peacefull ride over the lake and a more impressive transit downwards to Colon (total 8 hours).

We bought our flight tickets to Bogota and then to Quito from Avianca. Then included a trip to Cartagena and did not have to pay 1 cent more!!!
For a Panama-Cartagena-Bogota-Quito tickets we paid only 353 USD!!! Try variations, you will be surprised!

If you go to the La Isla de Bocas del Toro, you'll need to bring your own water, since the stuff from the taps isn't potable.
