    Gorgeous views and beaches. Worth the car ride to see the turquoise waters and island palms trees. Stayed in the city so a change of scenery is refreshing!

    Previously, I reviewed this with only one star because the tour operator canceled and I thought I had not been refunded promptly, I had in fact been refunded, but it did not show up immediately on my credit card statement. They did in fact rectify the situation very quickly and I appreciate that!

    I went March for 3 nights. If you are up for basics, on sandy desert islands, away from home comforts this is absolute heaven. Eg this is not a hotel. It is basic shelters on a beautiful desert island. There is a new road just complete (March 2024) from Panama City so it’s not bumpy like the last reviews say….but it is very windy. Have faith in the process. You will never know what is happening or where you will go - it will not be islands as listed on the itinerary but you won’t be disappointed… so…. relax, get to your most chilled place and know that someone will bring a boat round and shout your name at some point and all will be well. We went to 3 islands a day and slept on a different one each night. One had no power, one you poured water down the toilet to flush but that was more that I expected. Some had power and flushing toilets. Peaceful heaven… day trippers come onto the island for 2/3 hours then leave it just to your group. I would not recommend this for day trippers- it is too far a journey.. stay at least a night, 2 if you can and 3 was great. If you need detailed plans day to day this ain’t for you. If you can let go and go with the flow I have never been anywhere more beautiful. You are safe. Tou will be fed chiecken and rice/ fish and rice/ breakfast eggs…You will have food but bring own water and a few snacks from the gas stop on the way. Most places you can buy water and beer and Coca Cola. And even cocktails at some. At this time of year you only need swimsuit shorts and something to cover up from the sun. It is hot at night so do not need anything warm at this time of year. Some swimming shoes useful for snorkelling around sunken wrecks or one of the rocky islands. Because you are largely in the water and travelling by the local boats you will be wet all the time so just wear your swimsuit and a clever up. . You don’t need anything here. It will only be sandy and wet.. Leave your suitcases at your hotel. Most have free storage is you ask. You have to climb in and out of the boats often from the shore/ the water … if you ask loud enough before you set off they will put a ladder in boat which really helps but we didn’t get that til day 3. But we all helped eachother in and out. No mosquitoes on islands. Bring power bank cos you’ll want to take a lot of photos. You’ll see clear water and amazing underwater wildlife. If there was some information that would have made things better but we learnt there is none and you’ll only find out what is happening when something is happening but it works!!! Bring waterproof phone case and bring Colombian pesos you may want drinks, or to buy things from local tribes. Probably the best thing I have ever done.

    What a lovely day. Early start and arrive islands at about 8:00. Tour of the main village which was celebrating 99 year of independence. Guide was excellent. I not boat to visit several lovely islands. Snorkeling was great. Enjoyed good fish lunch. More islands and warm water for swimming. Lost my glasses and the guide went back to find them. Now in our little cabin and had a nap. Paradise.

    Great adventure. Beautiful islands, sand, palm trees, and crystal clear water. The snorkeling was very good, with big beautiful fan corals and schools of vivid blue fish at the first island out at the reef edge. Magical. No bugs while we were there. The roads and facilities were rustic as advertised. The traffic was crazy, so we were glad we did not drive ourselves. The lunch was bigger and better than expected, very filling. One thing that would make it better would be to provide swim fins to those who want them to go deeper, and the tidal currents were pretty strong to swim against at times without them. But overall the tour was a high point of our trip!

    Great experience from the word go.
    Be aware it takes time to get there from Panama City. Took 4 hours from 5:00AM hotel pick-up before your toes hit island sands. 3 1/4 to get to the Marina. However, the SUV we travelled in was newish and clean. The driver only had rudimentary English skills, which made for limited discussion during a long trip. But he was pleasant and accommodating. The last hour's drive is in the mountains before you hit the sea. Twisty-turny, uppy-downy you go. If you have a modicum of being subject to car sickness, take a Gravol. If you are on a tour where you might get stuck in the back seats of an old Honda CRV, take several. Frankly, i think a lot has to do with the temperment of the driver. This private tour vehicle and its driver were terrific. I watched and he seldom went over 40kph in the mountains and he wasn't offended or challenged by several other vehicles taking risks to pass him. He calmly drove on, for which i was appreciative. We have taken six tours this trip and note that every single tour guide and driver are male. Brings to mind that a high school boy's locker room, after the game, with various air-clouded AXE body spray assaults confronting you, the impact has nothing on some of these guys. If you have scent sensitivity, i would suggest requesting a scent free driver. I had to ride with the window open all the way. The islands were wonderful but you have to be aware that while the boat and guides are private to you, the places you go are not. One aspect of this excursion that was unique to the private tour was the guides stopped say a hundred meters or so off one of the islands, dropped the anchor, and we snorkeled with them looking at sting rays, etc. Apparently i saw a shark, as proven by the video the guide took during our swim, but i didn't realize i saw it. Ha. The shark was the same colour as the coral. Terrific tour, worth every penny. enjoy.

    Amazing! Love the people I ended up with, had a great time. Both tour guides were great! (The driver, Adrian and then the Guna Yala guide). The beaches, Caribbean Sea is beautiful! 100% would do it again 🫶🏽😁

    My visit to Pelican Island was unforgettable! I had an incredible day exploring the stunning scenery and enjoying some relaxing time on the beach. The highlight of my trip was definitely kayaking around the island – the crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life made the experience truly magical. This is a must-travel destination for anyone seeking adventure and natural beauty. Everything was so well-organized, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Five stars all the way!

    If you are looking for a last minute trip like I did, this is the one for you. I wanted to spend a weekend with my daughter on our last day in Panama and we came across this tour. They gave us welcome drinks to start the day. We enjoyed the islands with their beaches and crystal clear waters, the tour includes visits to other islands. All the staff from the driver and our guide were very attentive to everything we needed.
    The food was delicious, I ordered lobster and my daughter had fish. It is definitely a trip that I would take again if I return to Panama and I recommend it 100%.

    Pleasant trip and wonderful beaches. Food was great too. Try the Coco Loco. Bring ginger pills if you arent comfy riding a roller coaster for 2h straight. The hills of San Blas are a nice little bonus experience but most will need a little something for the nausea to enjoy them.

    Booking with Jenny was so easy and our trip was absolutely fantastic as we were lucky enough to have the whole catamaran to ourselves just by chance
    I would recommend trying to have contact with the crew beforehand so you can check what they supply as we got some evening drinks we wouldn’t usually have and a bit disappointed there was no wine

    3 days in Paradise, the guys running the island were lovely and I was well looked after, everybody was friendly and the food was really yummy. However my actual experience did not match my itinerary. On day 1 I was dropped off on the island I'd be staying on and told to just relax for the day. On day 2 I was then picked up for a 'tour' which was consisted of visiting 2 similar islands and a natural pool, which was really cool and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and met lots of lovely people. Then Day 3 was another day chilling on the island. We didn't visit the guna village as advertised, nor where there activities each day. I thoroughly enjoyed my time relaxing on the beach reading my book, but it wasn't quite what I had expected. Most people I met on the tour moved islands each night, and I was told to bring my bags with me for the tour on day 2, however was dropped back at the same island I had left that morning, and they weren't expecting me as my bed had been stripped. It was overall an amazing experience, and I would recommend it to anyone, but don't set expectations, you have to just sit back and let the tour guides do their thing (even if it doesn't match your itinerary).

    Everything about Yanice Island was absolutely lovely. It’s a quieter island which is what I was looking for. The dorm rooms are as expected (make sure to wear bug spray at night). There are bathrooms and showers (cold), but it’s important to be mindful of the island resources when using. I read a lot of reviews about bland food in San Blas, but that was not the case in Yanice Island. We had wonderful food everyday, and plenty of it! Just be sure you don’t leave you’re plate before you’re finished, because they clean up super fast. If it matters to you, bring some butter, sugar, and cream (although, we were fine without it). The family there is so nice and welcoming. They will communicate when meals are ready by blowing a conch, so listen up, because if you miss it, they won’t let you know. We got to go on several excursions, and we felt very safe all throughout. The excursions can take some energy and strength to get on and off the boat, so prepare for that. Definitely rent a paddleboard as well, as you can do a lot of floating around the island.

    Some phones do work with roaming on the island, but I also suggest bringing a deck of cards to play with the new friends you’ll make while you’re there!

    I can’t wait to return, and thank you to all that made this trip amazing!
