What an amazing day! Ernesto drove us safely to the port and Juan was a great guide through the islands! It was a beautiful experience! The lunch was also great! Loved visiting the local community and learning about their culture!
The organization was a bit chaotic already....neither the welcome cocktail nor the visit to several islands, as stated before, took place. It is best not to visit these islands on a weekend, they are then completely crowded. The journey to the port is very adventurous and you should be quite robust. The road is like a roller coaster or mountain and valley railway and is a challenge for sensitive stomachs.....The islands themselves are beautiful, gorgeous colors, holiday feeling guaranteed. The two I saw were small, worthwhile, colorful. However, the price of the trip is not in proportion to this......
vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und dafür, dass Sie Ihre Eindrücke mit uns geteilt haben. Wir möchten jedoch einige Punkte gerne klarstellen. Ihr Besuch fand während der Karnevalszeit statt – einer der meistbesuchten und belebtesten Zeiten des Jahres in Panama. In diesen Tagen ist die Nachfrage besonders hoch, und viele Inseln sind stärker frequentiert als üblich. Darüber informieren wir unsere Gäste im Voraus. Bezüglich des Begrüßungscocktails haben wir Rücksprache mit unseren Guides gehalten und die Tagesprotokolle sowie Fotos überprüft. Laut unseren Aufzeichnungen wurde Ihnen der Begrüßungscocktail (Coco Loco) bei Ihrer Ankunft serviert. Die Fahrt zum Hafen führt durch eine bergige Region und ist tatsächlich kurvenreich. Dies ist Teil der natürlichen Gegebenheiten dieser abgelegenen und ursprünglichen Destination. Wir bedauern, dass das Erlebnis nicht vollständig Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Gleichzeitig ist es uns wichtig, transparente und korrekte Informationen zu kommunizieren. Wir danken Ihnen nochmals für Ihr Feedback und wünschen Ihnen alles Gute. Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Must do in Panama, Loved every minute of it, definitely recommend it. Great service, great price, would definitely do it again
It's a long car ride but you already know that going into it. Had a great day. Everybody was lovely and everything was perfect.
Hello, thank you very much for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed your visit to the islands.
They sent me the confirmation, filled in the search details, debited the money from the card and never came looking for me. Today I waited an hour, and when they did not come to pick me up I called the driver, the number did not exist, I called the company's attention center and they told me that my reservation had been canceled on December 13 because today there was bad weather, when here in Panama there is a tremendous sun. The problem is that having supposedly "cancelled" my reservation on the 13th, they debited the money from the card the same, and they also sent everything to confirm without ever notifying me of the cancellation. They left me without a field trip and without the money to hire a decent service that doesn't rip people off.
Hola Sra. Romina, Lamentamos mucho que no haya podido viajar con nosotros. La plataforma había cancelado su reserva, por lo que no aparecía en nuestro listado. Queremos aclararle que nosotros no cobramos a la tarjeta de ningún cliente de Viator. Sin embargo, al haber comprado directamente con viator, estamos seguros de que la empresa gestionará el reembolso, ya que son muy serios y confiables.
Great time ! Beautiful sites and friendly staff everywhere! Only thing I will say , if you have back problems, I would not recommend this excursion. The ride to the islands , it’s about a 44 min ride one way. The waves can be very choppy with the wind. So it will cause a lot of speed bump feels on the boat . So you will be bouncing up and down and landing on the hard wood bench over and over again.
Juan was an amazing tour guide, very friendly, accommodating and he spoke English which was a plus. Loved every island we visited during this excursion.
We booked this tour at the last minute after another tour company canceled and we are so glad we did! They were able to accommodate us on short notice. Juan our tour guide to the islands informed us about the Guna culture and we spent some time on some amazing islands. Lunch was absolutely delicious and we got a “Cocoloco” drink with lunch in a coconut. Plenty of time to relax in paradise! The ride there was through the mountains and the tour company did a good job informing us ahead of time that people prone to nausea may want to prepare but we had no issues.
A very pleasant experience, Juan, the guide always very well in his explanations. The topic of tips was never a topic
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la experiencia y que Juan hizo un gran trabajo como guía. Esperamos verte pronto de nuevo para seguir explorando juntos las bellezas de Guna Yala. En cuanto a las propinas, en Panamá son totalmente voluntarias; no las exigimos, pero las agradecemos mucho, ya que son una forma de reconocer el esfuerzo y dedicación con que nuestros colaboradores atienden a cada visitante y hacen de cada experiencia algo especial
Great time. Was raining and the guide spoke broken english but the islands were amazing. 1 hr ride in windy up and down hills was def prone to motion sickness so prepare accordingly!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the islands despite the rainy weather. We appreciate your understanding regarding the language barrier, and we’ll keep working to improve our English communication for our guests. You’re absolutely right about the ride – the road is quite winding, so we always recommend being prepared if you’re prone to motion sickness. We hope to welcome you back to Guna Yala for another adventure, hopefully with sunnier skies
