5.00Too much top todooo!! 🤩 Pelican is mini but it is the best of the best, the team solves everything by whatsapp and you do not have to be dealing with anything in the port, all I tell them is to prepare for the sun that is strong
Magic experience!!!

5.00If you want upload tiktoks in real-time, forget it, there’s zero signal in san blas...but honestly? It was the highlight of my trip, pelicano island is basically a tiny sandbar in the middle of paradise. Pure magic.
Beautiful Islands, a bit disappointed with the booking

2.00Very disappointed, I booked this specific one cuz it said its in spanish and english, but the tour guide didnt even speak a bit of english and I had no idea what was being said, which was the issue for most of the other english speaking people. I also was really excited to get to see starfish as described - "star fish natural pool where you will be able to snorkel and see star fishes (availability depends on weather)" The weather was perfectly calm but Im not sure we even stopped there - it was a mix of different paid tours together on one boat, and we did not have snorkel gear by the natural pool... I tried asking tour guide and he seemed to be saying the starfish arent in that spot ... but im not sure why we didnt get to see it, as it was what I was looking forward to. I asked for a partial refund since I dont think the trip was as described but no one ever answered any of my messages. Not saying the islands werent beautiful, its definitely worth going, but just saying all these tours are pretty much the same thing, and combined onto one boat.
An unforgettable day in Panama

5.00The activity was great. This day will remain in my memory! Good organization and heavenly places. It's definitely worth it if you're on Panama!
Beauty that seems unreal

5.00I keep processing what I saw in Pelican Island seems like a screen protector of those windows but real, the water comes from your knees and is super transparent... the captain of the boat was super chevere and let us enjoy without being running with the clock.
A little hurried but enjoyed

5.00Pelican Island is beautiful but it really is tiny and that day there were two other groups so it didn't feel like in the photos, the guide did his best to give us our space but the time spent on each island was short for my taste the agency service is fulfilled but the itinerary felt a bit rushed.
A true paradise

5.00A magical experience on Pelican Island. I was afraid it would be too touristy because of Netflix, but the team knew the best time to take us there and allowed us to avoid the crowds. The 4x4 transfer was a bit long, but the driver was very careful and the jungle landscape was breathtaking. It was the wild paradise I was looking for in Panama.
A movie in real life

5.00I came out of curiosity to see where Rio and Tokyo hid 😂, and the truth is that reality surpasses fiction, It is a total paradise... the agency organized everything perfect so that we could enjoy a good time there, I felt on the series!
Strong ride but I loved the ride.

5.00We had a half cloudy day and some wind, so the sea was a little moved, it was a little scary but the captain of the boat was very professional and took us safely, when arriving to the island the weather stabilized and we could enjoy the day perfectly. 10 out of 10
