Very awesome experience. Itinerary is very accurate All the staff were friendly and on time. I would just recommend the first island last because u can actually swim there

Reviews
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 .
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.
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.
Very well organized trip from the pickup till the end of the day. Always accompanied with local guides. Takes you to all the nice places and attractions. Highly recommended!
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.
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.
Wonderful day trip from start to finish. The drivers was very friendly, punctual and accommodating. He made a special effort to advise us on route, in addition helped us spot monkeys and a sloth. The boat guide and driver were also very friendly and helpful. The views and islands were truly magical and we would highly recommend this. Excellent value . Lunch catered for all dietary requirements and was lovely. The scenery was epic and would be hard to beat anywhere on the globe. Highly recommended
This was such a relaxing refreshing escape. The island's surrounding beaches were so beautiful. The group had good vibes. And lunch was delicious
Incredible place where you can enjoy the pristine landscape and beauty of these islands. I snorkeled and it was amazing. Our driver Javier Antonio was extremely knowledgeable of the road and conditions that may the trip much more enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip and Javier was a top notch individual
The driver was on time. The food was good. The service was great. I enjoyed the islands a lot. I think this is a really great experience.
Had no issues value for money...Staff were all professional Will recommend this activity to family and friends who will visit Panama...Luv U Panama 🇵🇦
Out of respect I will leave this review short & direct. The islands were breathtaking & definitely worth the booking. The host (young lady whose name I did not get because she did not bother to introduce herself) was horrible. The lack of communication & brashness was off putting to & from the destinations as well as lunch time. please do not let this reflect on the people who served lunch or operated the boats. I realize not everyone has the capacity to work in tourism; she’s one of them.
This trip was like experiencing a small piece of heaven. Our driver Jonny was super chill. Just a FYI if you experience motion sickness, please take something prior to the ride through the Guna Yala territory. The rode is very winding and hilly. My friend got sick from the ride. Once we arrived at San Blas island it was absolutely amazing. The views were breathtaking. The natural pool was amazing. Hands down one of the best highlights of our stay in Panama 🇵🇦.
this tour was a ripoff, we did not go to the beaches mentioned which I was hoping we did. They wanted to charge us for a single picture of a hub we took. The food wasn't pleasing or good. The only person who spoke to us about their culture we had to keep him engaged because we were told to tell us about them is a separacharge and tour. First beach was very shallow , we were there for way too long with no entertainment. Natural pool was only 5mins and 2nd beach was better. The guns are very modern here and they just want to charge you money not share their culture. Avoid this tour, do a catamaran one. The only good thing about this tour was out driver, seeing tucans sns dting rays. is a rip-off and the price isn't worth it. Do Embera tour not this one.
Excellent value for your money! San Blas islands is definitely worth visiting even for just a day trip although now that we have done a day trip, we would like to come back to stay for a couple nights on one of the islands.
This was the best day of my Panamá Trip! Visiting 2 Islands and the natural pool was excellent as we could enjoy every spot and not running from 1 to another. Also there are FEW GUESTS ONLY!! This is a brand new Island and you will simply enjoy! Worth at all!
100% recommended for getting to know Guna Yala
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.
Punctuality, professionalism, beautiful place, organized, good food, the price is high, but worth a lot. I'd do it again.
The first island where we had lunch, although it was beautiful, had many plants in the sea and it was uncomfortable to step on. The algae-free part didn't even reach the knees. The food was good size. The natural pool is nice, but I think you could avoid that stop because the next island was very nice and parts of the beach were like the natural pool. Turquoise and crystal clear water. Very warm and no waves. Of the best beaches I have ever visited. It was what made the tour worthwhile. Perhaps it would be better to tour that island alone and have lunch there. I wish I could have spent more time there. What I didn’t like is that the van is not comfortable for those going downtown in the second row and in the third row. It touched me right in the middle of the second row and I came in pain. I didn't have how to accommodate my legs and I'm small. My kids in the third row weren't comfortable either. Accommodating 6 passengers in a Fortuner is not comfortable for such a long journey.
Excellent our chauffeur Jhonny, driving at a logical speed in the path of curves to get there (several go VERY fast) and making the trip super enjoyable with his talk every time he gave. The beautiful islands, the white sand, the transparent and temperate sea. The extremely basic infrastructure and the Gunas provide a poor service, they are very uncommunicative. They lack to provide the tourist, hygiene and care of the island. Too bad they don't live up to the natural wonder they live in.
Baños muy sucios sin agua , el lugar de salida terrible , las islas descuidadas abandonadas y fuimos a otras diferentes , la comida muy pobre , muy caro para lo que es , de regreso iba una persona más y ya íbamos incómodos (apretados ), el chofer bien , solo de regreso no ponía el aire acondicionado y eso empeoró el regreso
Excelente. Volveré. Nuestro conductor muy atento y estuvo pendiente en todo momento para ayudarnos. Super recomendadp
