San Blas Islands Full Day Tour
About this experience
Experience a full day in the breathtaking Guna Yala Islands, commonly known as San Blas, with an authentic indigenous operator. This adventure takes you from the Pacific coast across Panama to the Caribbean, where crystal-clear waters and pristine white sand beaches await. Your guide Joel is an authorized guide in the Guna Yala region with more than ten years of experience. As a 100% Guna Indigenous Operator, Joel and his team are focused on maintaining and preserving their cultural heritage while sharing its beauty with visitors. The adventure begins early with a 4x4 transfer across the country, crossing from the Pacific to the Caribbean coast. The scenic mountain roads offer glimpses of Panama's diverse landscapes before arriving at the port. Board a speedboat and sail through the turquoise waters to the San Blas Islands. Visit four stunning locations including three unique islands and a famous natural pool where you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters. Each island offers something different, from pristine beaches to opportunities for meeting the Guna people and learning about their culture. A delicious Caribbean lunch made with love is included, featuring fresh seafood and local flavors. Enjoy a refreshing cocktail as you relax on the beach before beginning the journey back to Panama City. Important: Original passport with your last entry stamp to Panama is MANDATORY. Copies are not accepted as this is required by Panama security agencies. An additional $22 cash entrance fee to the Guna Yala territory is paid directly on site. Note: Early 4:45 AM pickup. Return by 2:45 PM.

I highly recommend this tour and the Grassland Island restaurant is a hidden gym. Juan our guide, was very knowledgeable about the islands. We could not have asked for a better guide.
