Really undecided what to do in Colon -- pre transit

We are on Celebrity Summit April 2025 and will be in Colon the day prior to our full transit of the canal. Really struggling with what to do on that day. I realize there is not much to do in Colon, and have seen that it is not really safe to venture out solo in town. Looks like options are a tour of the locks on land (either Mira Flores and / or Aqua Clara), a Monkey Island tour or a Gatun Lake Eco Tour or an Arial Tram tour. Tram does not get good reviews. Mon

My two cents, who knows maybe I will even get some change!😉 I am writing this as though you would visit Agua Clara Locks first, although they may reverse the order to provide the best opportunity to view ships in the Locks. Honestly I don't think the bus ride is all that torturous with a decent road for the most part and nice scenery. From Agua Clara Locks across the Isthmus will run you a little over an hour and from the Pacific side back to Colon closer to an hour. In Celebrity's overview
