San Blas is one of the last untouched island archipelagos in the world, home to the indigenous Guna people who still live simply and happily, preserving their culture. Our 4-day, 3-night San Blas experience offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure — sleep in a private cabin with bathroom on one of the most beautiful islands, while enjoying a complimentary island-hopping boat tour.

Your base, Isla Perro (Dog Island), is famous for its shipwreck just off the beach, an incredible snorkeling spot filled with tropical fish and reef life. Spend your days lounging on white sand, kayaking in turquoise waters, and connecting with the friendly Guna family who care for the island.

With fresh meals included, rustic comfort in your cabin, and excursions to nearby islands, this tour offers everything you need for an authentic taste of paradise — a true once-in-a-lifetime San Blas escape.

Please be advised that San Blas is in the Guna territory, which is an autonomous, Indian zone. The services are very basic. The Gunas will be providing all touristic services, such as meal preparations, car and boat transportations, lodging, and tour guiding. We are proud to be working with this friendly tribe and with each booking we give back to the community, supporting their customs and their traditional way of life. We kindly ask you to respect this beautiful culture and their simple way of life, leaving your expectations behind and learning about their innocent culture.

Aside from using generators for electricity, there are no amenities and utilities as you are used to from the city. Food is basic, yet freshly prepared such as fresh fried fish, mixed seafood, chicken or lobster (at extra charge) with salad, rice or plantains.

The boat transfer from the port to the islands may be bumpy with some sea spray. If you are sensitive to motion sickness, please prepare accordingly by bringing appropriate medication. You may also get wet, so please bring some water protection for your luggage and yourself

You are allowed to bring additional snacks/beverages and a cooler.

⚠️ IMPORTANT – SAN BLAS DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ San Blas is one of the most beautiful and untouched island paradises in the world — turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and the unique culture of the Kuna people. At the same time, San Blas is very rustic. Think of it as a cultural adventure / camping trip on a tropical island rather than a luxury holiday. ➡️ If you expect 5-star comfort, we recommend our other tours in Panama.
✅ If you come with an open mind, you’ll discover an authentic, once-in-a-lifetime experience far from mass tourism. ‍‍ Our Service vs. Local Service We provide excellent service during your booking process and will assist you before and during your trip. However: We do not own or operate the islands. Once you arrive, all services are provided by the local Kuna community, and quality may differ from what you’re used to. Service may feel slow or unorganized, which is part of the authentic San Blas experience. ️ What to Expect in San Blas - Please read before Booking!!!

Weather is unpredictable — rain possible anytime (no refunds for rain). Health & Safety Very limited medical care on the islands.
