We visited 3 islands and one natural pool. The beaches are all white sand, the water clear and beautiful. Really loved cat island. Erick and the team were great at keeping everyone on time. Loved snorkeling the ship wreck at Perro Island.
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!

These beaches with the crystal clear water were the most beautiful that I have ever seen. The drive from the City to the boat was very long, but it was worth it.

Overall, this was a memorable 4-island day trip in San Blas with some real highlights and a few drawbacks to be aware of. The islands themselves are absolutely stunning, with clear, calm water that really lives up to the photos. Each stop felt beautiful and relaxed, and lunch was surprisingly well organized. They took individual orders in advance with options like fish, chicken, or vegetarian, and we also had fresh fruit like pineapple and watermelon at one of the stops. You also get one drink with lunch, with water as an option. Logistically, the day is long. The drive to the boat dock is about three hours each way in an SUV with a few stops along the way, which helps break it up for restrooms or snacks. That said, the vehicle is quite tight. With six passengers, the seating was uncomfortable, especially for anyone tall or in the middle seat of the second row. I would strongly recommend considering this if you are above average height or sensitive to long cramped rides. Once you arrive, the boat portion is more transport than guided tour. You are essentially moved from island to island and then left to enjoy the water on your own, which is fine if that is what you expect, but there are no structured activities included. We saw kayaks available at one point, but they were not actively offered and time on each island felt somewhat limited. I would have personally liked a bit more time at the first island. One thing to note is that restroom access at the boat area requires small change, which felt unnecessary and worth preparing for in advance. Also bring your own towel, sunscreen, and extra water since those are not provided. Despite the travel discomforts and some logistical quirks, the natural beauty of the islands really does make this worth doing. It’s best for people who prioritize scenery and swimming over comfort and structured activities.
Agonizing!

Very long day! The tour was moderately honest on several points and the overall service was insufficient. 1. Four stops is too many, especially two islands facing each other... probably so everyone gets their share of the cake... 2. Excellent driver, but six people in an SUV with the last row in the trunk for six hours of driving... not great. 3. No one really speaks English, like, no one! Six hours in a car with someone who doesn't speak English, you can imagine the situation. 4. He orders us around, shouting things while saying a few words in English, and looks at us exasperated. You feel like you're in the army, zero friendly and not at all kind. Its only function is to respect the schedule! No explanation and speaks only a few words of English. 5. No sanitary facilities because they are out of service on the first island where we dine, 1-2 toilets on other islands for more than 100 people! Completely inadequate, it goes as far as having no soap! 6. The dinner is dry and not fresh; even the rice tastes microwaved. It made me sick that very afternoon -_- 7. Going out to sea in a small boat is really thrilling! No one enjoys it except for the smell of gasoline every time the engines start! We have to go from the dock to the small boat several times, with the boat being 2-3 feet lower than the dock; it’s strange and not safe. If you have even a slight physical condition, it is impassable. In short, the islands are beautiful, but if you have seen other islands in the Caribbean, choose another activity or a more private tour. Avoid this kind of tour; it is really low quality and an agonizing day.

The pros: - Islands were beautiful - Lunch was delicious The cons: -Long vehicle ride, was a windy road and a tight squeeze for 6 people -Tour guide did not speak english (very limited communication once out on islands) -Boat broke down on way back from islands (no idea what was going on due to no one being able to speak english) -No snorkeling, masks we re not even offered -Beach games, kayaking any sort of water activities weren't offered. Once we got to the stop it essentially was "We are here for x amount of time be back at this time" that was about the only communication that could be done. -Very long day, but that was expected. Overall it was an OK day but other tours were definitely better value for money.
Beautiful islands, horrible organizers

The islands themselves were beautiful but I really hope the organizers got it together because they made it a very frustrating experience. First of all, they never reached out to me to tell me when they’d meet me and where. I had to message them through WhatsApp to make sure that I was getting picked up the morning of (5am). I was freaking out because no one was answering. Then after figuring that out, it was a huge mess picking up the rest of the group. The drivers themselves were GREAT. But the actually organizers seemed to over complicate things because the driver couldn’t do their job right if the organizer wasn’t communicating with them or the group. Point is, I had to be switched cars because they didn’t know who was getting picked up, then they put me in the wrong boat. Organization-wise: HORRIBLE!! Beaches - gorgeous!! If you decide on this tour - make sure to know all the details beforehand - don’t expect them to do it. Happened to another girl I was talking to in the island smh
Fantastic experience

This was the most expensive ride I've ever made on this trip, but I don't regret it. After I went, I understood why it justifies the price. The place is far away, requires a route of 2:30 by car, then more than 1h by boat. The islands are beautiful. I never imagined so many islands, large and small, inhabited. The natural pool is a prime work of creation. It's very worth it. The day was rainy, but it was still worth the experience.
