Beautiful islands
The islands were beautiful for sure . We especially enjoyed the 3rd and 4th island and the tour guide and staff on the boat were nice and very helpful.
The challenges:
-Minor: It was challenging to get in and out of that type of boat
-Major: The tire threads on the vehicle driving us from/to Panama City were completely worn out; basically bald. While that’s probably okay for short stints in the city, it’s NOT okay for 6 hours of driving; including 1/2 on winding narrow roads. That was dangerous . The driver seemed to be aware, as he added air to the tires twice that day. Recommend the tour company be aware and check for things like that to ensure safety .

Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the stunning islands and appreciated the assistance of our boat crew.
Guest safety is our highest priority, so we take concerns about our vehicles very seriously. All transportation providers are required to meet local safety regulations and are inspected regularly. Adding air to tires during long trips is a normal precaution and does not indicate that a vehicle is unsafe.
The mountain road to San Blas is fully paved, and our experienced 4x4 drivers travel this route almost daily. If there had been any genuine safety concern with the vehicle, it would not have been permitted to continue the journey.
We're pleased that, despite your concerns, you were able to enjoy the beauty of San Blas, one of the Caribbean's last truly untouched paradises. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Bumpy Boat Ride
The beach was spectacular. Too bad it takes too long to get there. The boat ride was the worse. We were on this small boat for about 40 minutes and it was choppy. If you are not fit it’s going to be difficult to climb into the boat. You had to climb on top of this ramp and the guys assisted you but that wasn’t ideal. The food wasn’t good. Fried chicken was dry and the rice was scorched. The drive was long and the traffic was horrible. There has to be an easier way to get to paradise. The people were nice. No snorkeling available. Just relaxing on the beach which was nice. Make sure to communicate your location and remember to check WhatsApp because our time and pick up location changed the night before.

Thank you for your review.
We're glad you found the beach spectacular. That is exactly why so many travelers make the journey to San Blas.
What surprises us is that nearly every point you mention is clearly explained in our tour description before booking. We explicitly state that the drive from Panama City is long, that traffic can affect travel times, that the boat ride can be choppy depending on sea conditions, that boarding requires some mobility, and that San Blas is a remote indigenous territory—not a luxury resort. We also advise guests to monitor WhatsApp, as pickup times may be adjusted due to road conditions or local logistics.
San Blas is one of the last truly untouched paradises in the Caribbean. Reaching such a destination requires accepting that comfort is not always comparable to an all-inclusive beach resort. For those seeking luxury transportation, charter flights to San Blas are available at a significantly higher cost, although even then, the final transfer to the islands is still by boat. Perhaps only arriving on a private yacht would eliminate the boat experience altogether.
Our goal is to provide an authentic experience in one of the world's most beautiful island destinations, and we believe it's important that guests read the information provided beforehand so they know exactly what to expect.

The closest thing to paradise.
I have been to San Blas three times, and this was the best of all. I highly recommend them, and the next time I go to Panama, I will definitely hire them.

So Beautiful! Not to be missed!
The drive is long and the winding road can make you sick even if you don't typically get motion sickness. There's a stop at a little grocery store with a cafeteria, and it's decently priced.
Buy stuff from the islanders! They could really use the money, and they also don't charge as much as what we saw on the mainland. Be sure to get the fresh coconut. It's delicious!
The islands are so beautiful! The shipwreck is a major highlight.

Kind guide but bad driver
There was no English guide available, even though I had selected that option.
The worst part was that the driver changed the itinerary on the way back because he did not want to drive me to Panamá Pacífico due to the heavy traffic expected at the time his shift was ending.
This sudden change and poor vehicle coordination caused seven guests to wait for another car for more than 40–50 minutes. During that time, I was bitten by bugs around 37 times. I couldn’t sleep all night due to the itching, and I regret giving him a tip earlier that morning.
事業者からの返答
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re glad to hear you found the guide kind, but we’re sorry about the inconvenience during the return. Transfers in San Blas are shared and sometimes require adjustments due to traffic, timing, and logistics, especially on longer routes like Panamá Pacífico.
Regarding language, we do our best to accommodate English-speaking guides, but availability can vary in this remote region. We clearly state this in our tour description.
We understand the wait was uncomfortable and appreciate your comments, which help us continue improving coordination.

Samba’s is a bias!!
This trip is not for the faint at heart, be prepared for long hours on the road to get to the port and rough water rides. Pack food items and water and ice if needed. Be prepared to stay out all day visiting lots of islands and make sure not carry a dry bag . Pack light. It was adventurous. Enjoyed the scenery and seeing something new.

Your tips will surely help future travelers make the most of this exciting experience!
