A day trip is a good compromise if you are short on time or do not want to spend a night there due to the 'basics' accommodations offered in the Archipelago.
We will visit various places, including Diablo Island, Perro Island and its shipwreck, and the natural pool, a beautiful lagoon with starfishes.
Our experience includes all transportations with hotel pickup and drop-off, a typical lunch with one drink often featuring fresh fish, accompanied by rice and plantains.
Ground transportation is shared, but once arriving in San Blas you will receive a personalized attention on a small-group tour.

Serious Agency
We called this agency for our stay in the San Blas. Everything went well, the agency is really serious and easily reachable by email or WhatsApp before and throughout the stay. Everything was very well organized at the transport level. We chose a stay of 3 days and 2 nights, we stayed on Myriadub, island which is not necessarily the most paradise but very quiet, away from tourists and very well placed because close to a natural pool, a good snorkelling spot and a paradise island for beach and swimming. All the excursions we did around Myriadub were great! I highly recommend this agency, which will advise you to find the stay that suits you best!

One of the best experiences of my life
I booked a day and night in San Blas in a cabin on the water and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I had the opportunity to do. Everything was taken care of, the meals were delicious. The services are totally worth the price. A true paradise for those who love nature and the Caribbean. If you like fishing, you can do it from your terrace!
