About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 231kenyal0 contributionsVery Beautiful Islands!The tour was amazing!! 10/10 I would recommend and go again! I had an amazing time! Our tour guides were excellent and the experience was memorable! Definitely go if you’re thinking about it!!Written November 5, 2024
- 712jenellej0 contributionsBirthday tripEnjoyed the time on islands and the transportation was save with life jackets. Lunch that’s included was delicious. The excursions that are included were fun as well.Written October 25, 2024
- H7743PAhelend0 contributionsNot as advertised. Should be positioned as a look at an isolated indigenous village on beatiful islands.This tour was not what was advertised. We rode over 3 hours in a broken down SUV and the port was an indigenous village that was very basic. The islands and ocean were pretty, but all very third world. It would have greatly improved the tour is there had actually been a tour guide that spoke English and told us more about the history of the indigenous people living there to give us context and background on what we were seeing. The 4th island was a waste of time and needlessly extended the day.Written October 20, 2024
- Alina A0 contributionsGreat trip to San BlasOur guide David was great. Great trip to get to know a little bit more of the islands. Food was good. The views are amazing.Written October 14, 2024
- D4546OGchrish0 contributionsExcellent experience!I had a blast on this excellent day trip! Pristine water, kayaking, snorkling, sunbathing in a Caribbean dream destination. It's a long day and it is not luxurious, which makes it an even better adventure. There are some reviews stating that the Guna people, in which territory you are traveling, are not welcoming, but that's not true at all.Written October 10, 2024
- damions4890 contributionsImage of ParadiseThe place is like the picture of paradise. If you live relaxing, tannining, swimming or playing volley ball, this place will suit you. Unfortunately, the ride there and back could have you wondering if it's worth it. I'd say it's with the experience, but not repetitive event.Written October 9, 2024
- augusta e0 contributionsAbsolutely beautiful day!!!Absolutely beautiful excursion!!! The day was perfect from the turquoise warm water to the friendly guide Davis!!! Thank you!!! It’s a long day but so well worth it. Day is also broken up into tour of different islands. So breathtaking!Written October 6, 2024
- Katgarrettt0 contributionsExcellent tour!A great tour of the beautiful San Blas islands! Davis was an amazing tour guide. Food was excellent, and it was lovely meeting the locals on the different islands. Plenty of activities to choose from (kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, etc). Highly recommend this tour!Written October 6, 2024
- Tipoul0 contributionsParadiseDavie is a great tour guide. The islands were beautiful. The lunch was fresh and delish! Thank you for a wonderful experience.Written October 6, 2024
- LoveTravel6507480 contributionsBeautiful island!!My experience was great although the journey to get here is a little long. That is the hardest part. The tour guides were amazing and took great pictures for a small fee of course lol. The island was beautiful and the food was great. Definitely a memorable birthday.Written October 5, 2024
- hoangtruong330 contributionsAmazing San Blas experienceMy girlfriend and I had an amazing time with Davies and his crew. The boat ride was extremely smooth. We went to four different islands (technically three and one sandbar). The water is crystal clear and turquoise. There are kayak and snorkeling opportunities. We were provided lunch as well. The transportation to and from the boat dock is about three hours so prepare for a long car ride. Overall an amazing tour!Written October 5, 2024
- notahappycamper3510 contributionsIsland Hopping Wow in PanamaThis tour was awesome. We had had so much fun. Our driver “Toe-tee” went above and beyond giving a tour and safe travels through the Guyanala (San Blas Hills). Our tour guide through the island Davies was terrific. He kept us safe, made sure all our needs were met, and provided us with the most amazing lunch. I recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys a fun day in the sun. The water was transparent and the perfect amount of cool for a hot summer day.Written October 3, 2024
- senicamz0 contributionsWorth It!Wanted some beach time while visiting Panama City, so we signed up for the full day tour of the San Blas Islands. It was an early morning and long ride but so worth it to spend the day Island hopping and enjoying the beautiful beaches. Bring your own towels as towels and chairs are not always available. Lunch is included and was nice. We were pretty tired after the 3rd stop but hung in there for the last Island. Our guide David was amazing and kept us on track. He even celebrated the birthdays in our group. Our driver was great too and did some incredible driving there and back as the mountain roads were very winding.Written September 21, 2024

This should have been our highlight of our Panama trip. Instead, it was the worst experience here. We started with the transport where after the car drive we had to wait 1.5 hours for our boat (we were the only one still waiting there). When we arrived on the island, nothing was ready, we had to put on the sheets of the bed together with the guide and had to wait more than 1 hour for lunch (they told us 10 minutes). For a snack in-between we got pineapple with a dead ant on it. The toilet was dirty and the "shower" only a pipe with seawater coming out of it. We made a trip to another island, it was ok but not really different than our island. Both islands had a loooot of trash on it! Our cottage had no window glasses and a huge gap between wall and roof, resulting in every insect visiting us at night. I woke up with a cockroach on my leg and in the morning I had 45 bites on my body (my friend around 20), we don't know from what but they are not usual mosquito bites. We put mosquito repellent before going to bed and 2x during the night, it didn't help. We fled from the island the next morning after breakfast. I don't give a 1 star review because the guides were very nice and helpful and we saw a nice sunrise and during the night the milky way. I don't recommend going to San Blas, go to Bocas del Toro instead!

Dear client
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience in San Blas did not meet your expectations and understand how disappointing it must have been for you.
San Blas is an indigenous community, and the experience is designed to immerse visitors in local life, which can be quite different from the standard amenities found in more developed tourist destinations like Bocas del Toro. We aim to provide a unique and authentic cultural experience, but we recognize that this may not be suitable for everyone.
We apologize for the wait times and any inconvenience you faced with the accommodations and meals. Your feedback regarding cleanliness and comfort is taken seriously, and we will address these issues with our local partners to improve our services.
We are glad to hear that you found the guides helpful and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and night sky. Your appreciation of these moments means a lot to us.
Once again, we apologize for any discomfort you experienced and thank you for your honest review. We hope you continue to have wonderful travel experiences in the future.
Best regards,
Written May 23, 2024

Stayed one night at isla Aguilar, a quiet island with few people but good snorkeling, all islands are incredibly beautiful places, definitely recommend spending more than a day trip so you have time to enjoy and relax and not only see the crowded islands. Guide was nice, really well organized, safe and friendly driver - would recommend it!

Says, "Also Covid-negative test results are needed to travel to san blas islands even if you are vaccinated with at least 3 days in advance."
Is this still the case? Also, if needed, is a pharmacy kit enough? We will be on vacation in Panama - so not sure where we would get these 72 hours ahead once there.
