Experience the “real” San Blas on a 4-day island-hopping adventure. Explore the stunning island paradise famous for its white sand beaches and turquoise waters. You will sleep on 3 different islands and go on 2 boat tours to different islands. You will also meet the local Kuna family who will share their traditions with you.
Day 1:
If choosing our optional return transport service (available during checkout), 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 the 2.5 to 3 hour journey through the spectacular jungle highlands. Oftentimes we encounter wildlife, such as monkeys and sloths on the road and will gladly stop the car to give you opportunities to admire these beautiful animals and to take photos. 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 will be waiting for you, ready to take you to your island.
The 20-minute boat ride to the first island may be a little bumpy. Depending on ocean conditions, there may be some ocean spray.
As you arrive at the first island, you will be greeted by the calm, turquoise seas, surrounding the island.
After settling into your private traditional Kuna cabin with sand floor, start enjoying the beaches.
Lunch is served at after 12:30pm. Meals usually consist of the fresh catch of the day (we do offer vegetarian or non-seafood options).
