Have you heard of the amazing San Blas Islands of Panama? Have you seen the post-card perfect photos of deserted white sand specks in the turquoise oceans or of smiling Guna children beckoning you to partake in their little piece of paradise? With some of the most spectacular beaches in all of the world, and with less than 10% of the islands being inhabited by the Guna tribe, you'll be exploring this paradise to make memories of a lifetime.

Your San Blas Day tour starts early in the morning. If choosing our optional transport service, a friendly driver will meet you at your Panama City lodging between 5:00am and 5:45am and safely transport you and up to five other guests to the Port of Carti. Relax and start enjoying during the 2.5 to 3 hour journey through the spectacular jungle highlands.

For those who drive in their own cars, please be advised that only 4x4 vehicles are allowed to enter San Blas. All other cars will be turned around at the border crossing. Plan to leave no later than 5:00am and be prepared for a difficult drive with bad road conditions.

Our drivers will also stop at a supermarket in case you want to purchase any items, such as snacks, water or fruit.

When arriving at the port a “lancha” boat with your San Blas tour guide will be waiting for you, ready to commence the San Blas tour.

The 30-minute boat ride to the first island may be a little bumpy and, depending on ocean conditions, there may be some ocean spray. All of our boats have ample space and feature sun protection that will make this journey more comfortable.

Arriving at your first destination, Isla Perro, you will be greeted by a tropical palm-fringed island paradise and calm waters with various shades of blue and green inviting you to dive in and play with the multitude of colourful fish surrounding you, while snorkelling on the sunken shipwreck reef located close to the beach.

At lunchtime you will be served a tasty and freshly prepared lunch, with a choice of fresh fish or chicken (note: we also offer vegetarian options and other alternatives, if you have diet restrictions).

Our second stop is Arena Blanca (literally “White Sand”), an awe inspiring Natural Pool. Stand waist-deep in the middle of the ocean on fine sand and admire the many sea stars populating this vast, shallow area. Whether using your snorkel gear or not, everyone will be able to glimpse the amazing underwater world only a few feet below the surface.

Our third destination takes us to Isla Diablo, another typical San Blas island, white sand beaches and an interesting Kuna family inhabiting the island. Feel free to use the fresh water showers to rinse off before heading back to the port.

Between 3:00 and 3:30pm we will leave this island paradise and head back to the Port of Carti. If you have chosen our transport service, your driver will be waiting for you and safely drive you back to Panama City, dropping you off at your lodging by 7pm.
