Avis(51)
The islands are superb. However, the organization of the tour and the visits left something to be desired (guide constantly late). Transportation to the activity was in an SUV for 5 passengers even though there were 6 of us. The trip there and back was painful for everyone.
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les magnifiques îles. Concernant le transport, les conditions et la capacité des véhicules sont clairement indiquées dans la description du tour avant la réservation. Il est donc important que chaque voyageur lise attentivement les informations et s’assure que ce type de transport lui convient. Nous regrettons que cela ait affecté votre expérience.
There was no one who could speak English, so I did not show when there was food or when the boat sailed on. It wasn't a good service.
Tak for din feedback. Vi er kede af at høre, at sprogbarrieren påvirkede din oplevelse. Vi bestræber os på at have engelsktalende guider på vores ture, men i sjældne tilfælde kan lokale bådbesætninger primært tale spansk eller Guna. Vi tager din kommentar til os og vil arbejde på at forbedre kommunikationen fremover. Tak fordi du delte din oplevelse.
I’ve been on quite a few of these viator tours. However, I was bit disappointed in some of the details. Two things in particular. First, they advertise English or Spanish guide. And though I selected English…not a sole person spoke English from the transportation (which takes about 3 hours to get there) to the tour itself. So I was expecting to learn things on the ride there. Instead I feel like I just paid for a taxi. The second thing is food selection. I indicated one person in my party needed gluten free. However there was no such choice. And there was one island where the food was served. I noticed quite a bit of better choices from other tours. So it seemed this tour operator picked the cheapest meal options for us. This was particularly disappointing because we made a stop at a gas station that sold hot food. If we had known they wouldn’t honor gluten free request we could have purchased items from there. Another point to make, getting in and out of the boat was challenging at times. The different stops had different types of docks. So some you just climbed over the side of boat but others had concrete platforms that were so tall that you literally had to slide on your back almost between the boat canopy and the concrete dock platform to get on and off. So if you had any mobility issues it was a wrap. The tour itself was great otherwise. The islands and beaches were wonderful. It is a long ride. I saw some reviews mention it was bumpy. That must be old because the roads were pretty much paved all the way there. Make sure to read the fine print. Bring cash, not all places take cards. And you do need $22 in cash. $20 per person to enter the native land about 1/2 way up the mountain. And then $2 per person once you reach the lot where you’ll take the boat. They do require your original passport.
Hi Courtney, We’re glad you still enjoyed the islands and beaches, as that’s really the heart of the experience. Just to clarify, the tour itself begins at the port in San Blas with the boat portion. The transportation from Panama City is simply that, transportation, not a guided tour, and this is outlined in the description. Regarding food, meals on the islands are prepared by the local Guna communities and are quite standard across all islands. It’s not about choosing cheaper options, but rather working with what’s available in a very remote area. Special dietary requests like gluten free can be difficult to accommodate in this setting, so it’s always best to come prepared if you have specific needs. San Blas is a unique destination, and part of the experience is embracing its simplicity and natural conditions and arriving without high expectations.
The tour guide is very friendly and very organized. The highlight is that I saw 2 different kinds of fishes in 2 islands 🐠.
Glad you enjoyed the day and that everything felt well organized. Nice to hear you spotted different fish along the way, those little moments in the water always make it more memorable
The initial communication via WhatsApp was excellent. We were instructed to be ready for pickup between 5:00–5:15 a.m.; however, we were not picked up until close to 6:00 a.m. Upon arrival, there was not enough space in the vehicle for all three of us. We were then told that the issue was because our tickets were purchased individually rather than together, which was confusing since all three tickets were purchased for pickup from the same hotel. A second vehicle eventually arrived, but it first detoured to pick up two additional passengers unrelated to our group before we were finally on our way. The drive to the boat itself consisted of nearly two hours of continuous winding roads. Even for those without motion-sickness sensitivity, you’ll want to take caution. Especially if sitting in the very back of the 4x4 vehicle. Despite the tour description stating there would be a stop at a store, no stop was made, leaving us without access to food or drinks. When we arrived at the boat docking area, we were dropped off without clear instructions. We had to send a WhatsApp massage to ask for guidance, we were simply told to wait. Restroom access required a 25 cent fee, which was not communicated in advance. We were left unsure of what was happening and waited approximately 20 minutes before someone approached us and escorted to another waiting area before we boarded the boat. Once on the boat, it stalled in the middle of the ocean and required several attempts before the captain gave up and only used 1 engine. At this point, it was already around 10:50 a.m., and no activities had begun. We made a few stops to drop off passengers staying on other islands. The boat ride to the first stop took over an hour. We arrived around 11:15 a.m. and departed at approximately 12:40 p.m. for the next location. Lunch was included, and we paid extra to upgrade our meal to the lobster lunch for $25; however, it was served cold. Please note, the original included meal is not accounted for as part of the lobster upgrade. If you would like the original meal, as well, you have to ask. I recommend the fried fish and fries , as the shrimp were overcooked. Overall, the experience consisted of roughly 10 hours of travel and only about 4 hours on the water. We left the beach at 4:50 p.m. and did not return to our hotel until 7:40 p.m. While the beaches themselves were absolutely beautiful, the overall experience was disorganized, lacked communication, and fell short of expectations based on the tour description.
Thank you, Jada, for taking the time to share such a thorough review. We truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify a few important points for future travelers. We’d like to note that key details of this tour are clearly outlined in our tour description and disclaimer, including the approximate 2.5-hour drive on winding roads, the possibility that the port area may feel busy or disorganized, and the length of the boat ride. San Blas is located within the Guna Yala region, a remote and protected indigenous territory where infrastructure and facilities are intentionally more basic, and logistics can differ from more developed destinations. Regarding transportation, we often have multiple groups being picked up from the same hotel and assigned to different vehicles. If guests wish to ensure they are all in the same car, this does need to be communicated to us in advance so we can arrange it accordingly. We understand the concern about the boat engine taking a few moments to restart. While safety is always our top priority, moments like these do sometimes occur in marine environments. That said, guests are surrounded by the open sea, fresh ocean breeze, and the island atmosphere that makes San Blas such a unique and beautiful destination. We’re glad you enjoyed the stunning beaches and appreciate your comments about the crew and the natural beauty of the islands. While we’re sorry the overall experience did not fully meet your expectations, your feedback has been shared with our team and partners to help improve clarity and coordination moving forward. Thank you again for choosing Tao Travel 365. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to host you in Panama under different circumstances in the future.
Every experience is different so from my experience this was a disappointment. The original communication from WhatsApp was amazing. We were told to be ready at 5-5:15 am. We didn’t get picked up until close to 6 am. They did not have space in the vehicle for 3 of us. We were told that we should have purchased all 3 tickets together and not individually; however, that doesn’t make sense as 3 tickets were still purchased with pick up from the same hotel. Another vehicle came and after stopping to pickup 2 of his friends we finally was on our way. The road is like an “s” for at least 2 hours of winding. We never stopped at the store as the description says so we didn’t have any food or drinks. They dropped us off at the boat docking area and that someone would come and get us. We had no clue what was going on. Eventually someone got us and after waiting for close to 20 minutes we were put on a boat. If you need to use the bathroom from the boat docking, it’s .$25 to use the restroom so make sure you bring some cash. The boat eventually stopped in the middle of the ocean. After a series of attempts they were able to crank up the engine and we were on our merry way. At this point, it was 10:50 am and we haven’t done anything. I actually wrote my review in the middle of the ocean. The boat ride to the first stop took over an hour. We arrived around 11:15 am then left at 12:40 pm for our next stop. Your lunch is free; however, we paid to add lobster to our meal. Our original meal which is included in your ticket should have been added to our upgrade. The trip time is really 10 hours of traveling and 4 hours of the ocean. We left the beach at 4:50 pm and arrived at the hotel at 7:40 pm. The beaches were gorgeous but that’s it. I just don’t think it’s worth 10 hours of traveling.
Ronenia_J Great beaches but disappointing trip Viator review: San Blas Islands: 4-Island Day Tour with Lunch & Snorkeling Every experience is different so from my experience this was a disappointment.

Very beautiful islands However, everything very touristy I didn't want to stay there all the time day tour tourists come and go
Vielen Dank für Dein ehrliches Feedback! Es freut uns, dass Dir die Inseln gefallen haben. San Blas ist ein sehr beliebtes Reiseziel, und bei Tagestouren kann es tagsüber tatsächlich lebhafter werden, da viele Besucher die Inseln erkunden. Gleichzeitig verstehen wir Deinen Eindruck gut. Für Gäste, die es ruhiger mögen, empfehlen wir oft Übernachtungen auf weniger besuchten Inseln oder außerhalb der Hauptzeiten. Gerne beraten wir dazu persönlich. Danke, dass Du mit Tao Travel 365 gereist bist, und vielleicht dürfen wir Dich bei einer anderen, ruhigeren San-Blas-Erfahrung wieder begrüßen.
This was the highlight of our stay in Panama. I was hesitant to book because I had some concerns about the logistics and cost for us, but I am so thankful that I did
Thank you for your review, Anna! We’re so happy to hear this tour was the highlight of your stay in Panama. It’s completely understandable to have questions about logistics beforehand, and we’re glad you decided to go for it and that it turned out to be such a rewarding experience. Thank you for choosing Tao Travel 365. We truly appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure!
Definitely an adventurous day. The islands are beautiful to see and the water is amazing. However...The journey to get to the islands is not easy. Early morning wake up, long rough ride to get there in a crammed 4x4 with no suspension, long bumpy boat ride on an oversized dingy boat, nothing on the first 2 islands, last islands were identical. Not much to do once you get to the islands, no chairs to sit on, no towels, nothing except a bar serving warm drinks.
Hi Shannon. Thank you for sharing your feedback! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the islands and the amazing water. Regarding the journey, we do mention in our itinerary that getting to the islands is an adventurous ride and that the early start, 4x4 road, and boat ride are all part of the experience. We also clearly highlight what to expect on the islands themselves—including limited amenities—so guests can prepare accordingly. We understand this tour isn’t for everyone, but it’s designed for those looking for a true adventure rather than a luxury resort experience. We hope future guests take the description to heart and enjoy the trip as much as those who love the thrill and scenery!
The island was very beautiful, there was a Spanish shipwreck we got to explore. The food was really good. Our tour guide and driver was amazing.
Hi Rodrick. Thank you so much for your kind review! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the island, explored the shipwreck, and liked the food. It’s wonderful to hear that your tour guide and driver made the experience even better. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable adventure!
