  There was good communication from the tour company ahead of time, hotel pickup was seamless. What was not communicated well was the length of drive time to the dock, and then also the length of time on the boat to the Islands. The description indicated 12-14 people on the boat, there were 18 plus 3 crew which made it exceptionally crowded and it was a long and uncomfortable ride both directions given the amount of water coming on board. Nothing was able to stay dry, a dry bag would have been a good item to bring. Once on the first Island, it was a challenge to determine when lunch was (which was included) and how long we had owing to language barriers. The beach itself was lovely albeit crowded. Lunch was good. There was not really any snorkeling on the tour - the last two stops snorkels and masks were provided, although the locations and number of visitors meant there was not anything really to see. If you want true snorkeling this is not the tour for you. Changing facilities were very limited on the dock, but if you go figure out a way to get changed into dry warm clothes because the drive back to Panama City is long and was very uncomfortable because we didn't change (see earlier tip re: dry bag.) Other than lunch, food and drink options are somewhat limited and pricey so bring snacks/beverages with you. Note that we have done several similar trips in Panama and other countries that provide better value for money and are less touristy.

• Lovely photos but terrible commute

  It was a nice experience but I would not re visit. The people are friendly and helpful but the journey to and from was the downfall for me. Not suitable for young kids. I went with my 4yrs old son and my father. They both vomited their life out. They should do small flights or helicopter trips. Persons will pay the fee to avoid 4 hours drive and close to 1 hour by boat. It’s like close to 10hrs traveling.

  Super excellent service, I loved the attention, from the time we were picked up from the hotel to the port, and from the port to the island, everything very organized very nice delicious food, they are very aware of the guests, three days on the island and was unforgettable this trip..

  We had a great time visiting the beaches. They are so beautiful and the water was pretty warm. Each one has space to put your stuff while you swim, which is convenient, and food/drink in case you don't want to bring any, although because the travel there is long and really early, you may want to bring snacks. We did stop at a grocery store on the way, so you will have an opportunity to get something there. I definitely recommend this excursion if you want to see some beautiful water.

• No snorkeling

  It sells snorkel and it's not made. Taking you to a beach with the water by your knees, where you don’t see any interesting background and saying it’s the time where if you want to snorkel, it’s just a tease and a scam

  The pickup was medium punctual but there was carnival so it is understandable, there were no tubes or sights to snorkel, we ordered them but they did not bring, the food very well, the organization of the boats also good, overall a great excursion and the spectacular islands

  The place is beautiful and charming! What made me worried was the logistics to arrive. The driver who caught us at the hotel constantly drank coffee and used the cell phone at the wheel and the road is very dangerous with curves, rises and steep descents, which requires maximum attention! As for the boat, even though we were wearing jackets, the sea was quite agitated and I think that on a larger boat, we would feel less the effects of the waves. Passed the effect of adrenaline, the tour was well worth it!

  The walk was amazing! I closed from day to day by Booking and went very well. I was very well served from the first contact, driver always keeping in touch and very helpful. The visit to the islands was very nice. I recommend!

  As you have to pass mountains, the road to the Port has VERY steep slopes. Boats or boats are rustic, but they work well. By the nature of the Caribbean Sea, the trip is quite busy and with strong waves (I do not recommend it for pregnant or nervous people) but for those of us who enjoy an "adventurous" spirit the journey, we enjoy it very much. The unique, unforgettable PARADISIAC Beaches, the rich and abundant food and the attention of the indigenous Guna, very close, always watching for your well-being.
