SAN Blas is a total paradise. Beautiful islands to relax and disconnect but the ride there is extremely rough. Over an hour of sharp curves. Almost everyone gets headaches and nausea
What a great tour, wonderful location, quick and accurate information, good vehicle, and minimal waiting times; the journey there and back is a bit long, but it is worth it, lunch and drinks included
Super great company with amazing people. The most amazing views ever, have to check it out whenever visiting Panama!! Worth every penny.
Perfect walk. Knowing the Guna culture and the local islands was wonderful. Tranquil and fun transfer. Good lunch. Simple, helpful and charming people. Beautiful beach.
We absolutely loved our San Blas tour! The islands were breathtaking, with crystal-clear water and some of the most beautiful views we've ever seen. The tour guides were friendly, helpful, and did a fantastic job making sure everyone had a great experience. The food wasn't anything to write home about, but we came prepared with plenty of drinks and good company, so it didn't put a dent in our trip. Honestly, when you're surrounded by scenery this incredible, it's hard to complain! This was one of the most affordable San Blas tours we found, and it exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option that still delivers an unforgettable experience, this tour does not disappoint. We would absolutely do it again!

We literally swam next to a huge fur turtle near the shipwrecked in Dog Chico! The visibility of the water was impeccable, it looked like a natural aquarium. The local boatmen were super kind and careful with the animals
Que relato espetacular! Ficamos vibrando daqui só de imaginar essa cena. Nadar ao lado de uma tartaruga-de-pente enorme perto do navio naufragado em Perro Chico é uma daquelas experiências mágicas que ficam guardadas na memória para sempre! San Blas realmente se transforma em um aquário natural quando a água está com essa visibilidade impecável. É um privilégio enorme poder testemunhar a vida marinha tão de perto. Ficamos também muito orgulhosos em saber que você notou o carinho e o cuidado dos nossos barqueiros locais com os animais; o respeito à natureza e à fauna de San Blas é uma prioridade absoluta para nós. Muito obrigado por compartilhar esse momento inesquecível conosco. Esperamos que você volte em breve para mais mergulhos fantásticos no nosso paraíso! 🏝️ Sea San Blas 🏝️
Beautiful experience. San Blas consists of a group of islands. Some of them are inhabited by the Guna community. They are the indigenous peoples of the land. They are very kind and helpful. The three-hour trip by vehicle is worth it. The lunch was very complete. Alan, the coordinator on the boat, was very attentive to everything. They should improve the restrooms, as many people go on this excursion. Wonderful landscapes. We visited two islands and a natural pool. Highly recommended!
Great experience, punctuality, and the entire tour met expectations 100%. I highlight the kindness of Maykel, who picked us up at the hotel 10/10.
The sand on these islands feels like flour; it is incredible to walk barefoot all day without worrying about anything. We visited three different islands, and Big Dog was my favorite because of the tranquility that was felt there. The logistics from Panama were very well coordinated, and the 4x4 drivers drove calmly in the mountains. I appreciate that the agency made it clear about the lack of modern infrastructure before we paid; honesty is greatly valued 🙏
The tour guides (Maikel and Ebe) were friendly, informative and caring. I appreciated the facts they shared throughout our trip both in the car and on the boat while island hopping
