Day 1

place Day 1: Panama City - San Blas Islands, Panama

Duration: 4 Days

Departure Time: 05:00

Transfer from Panama City to San Blas Islands (L/D)

You will be picked up at your accommodation in Panama City early this morning and taken on an exciting ride through the jungle on 4x4 transportation. We will then make a stop to pass through immigration formalities and pay the entrance fees to Kuna Yala Islands (not included). We will continue our way to the dock where you will meet your boat to take a shared transfer to your island. Upon arrival, get settled in and enjoy the breathtaking surroundings of this pristine place.

Note: Please note that there will no longer be a stop at the supermarket to avoid unnecessary time loss and to be able to arrive at the port as soon as possible. Therefore, we encourage you to purchase supplies to take with you to the island (snacks, drinks, water) the day before the tour.

*Note: This "Comarca" is a paradise where it is only allowed to people from its community to work there, tourism is something new to them, their infrastructure is currently under development and service might not be entirely satisfactory in some cases.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Day 2

place Day 2: San Blas Islands, Panama

San Blas Chichime Islands(B/L/D)

Enjoy a fresh breakfast with the sounds of the waves on the shore. Today you will take an island tour in Natural Pool, near the coral reef, there is a natural pool where you can bathe. It does not cover much, above the knees. The water is really calm since there aren't currents or anything like that. Also, you will visit Fragata Island, this island is the typical postcard island, it is a small islet from which comes a lot of sand that joins another smaller island. You can walk through it or opt to swim and snorkel around the island in the crystal clear turquoise waters to spot colourful tropical fish among coral reefs or simply spend time relaxing on a hammock. On one of these days, you can also hire a boat and visit a traditional Kuna Yala village of this archipelago, where you can purchase handmade souvenirs to contribute to the community (optional activity at extra cost, inquire upon arrival). Spend the evenings watching the horizon turn different shades of red and pink as the sun sets over the Caribbean.

*The order of the Island visit can change between day 2 and 3

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 3

place Day 3: San Blas Islands, Panama

San Blas Chichime Islands(B/L/D)

Enjoy a fresh breakfast with the sounds of the waves on the shore. Today you will take an island tour in Natural Pool, near the coral reef, there is a natural pool where you can bathe. It does not cover much, above the knees. The water is really calm since there aren't currents or anything like that. Also, enjoy a visit to Perro Island and get delighted by this beautiful scenery, It might even offer the cleanest water in the world and is, therefore, one of the top snorkeling places in Guna Yala. The one thing that makes Dog Island, so special is the shipwreck in front of its shores. Here you’re able to snorkel and uncover the leftovers of an old army gunboat that Mother Nature has taken over throughout the years. This is a real-life paradise, see how beautiful it is! It feels like a tiny, deserted island in the middle of nowhere. Spend the evenings watching the horizon turn different shades of red and pink as the sun sets over the Caribbean.
