What people are saying about San Blas Islands

The 4 day trip is well worth it. By hopping you get many different impressions and the days are very varied. You still have enough time to relax and breathe deeply. The accommodations are very simple, but we didn't miss anything. The food was also okay and sufficient. We were on the island of Pelicano - very beautiful, great and familiar -, Aroma - a bit larger, beautifully laid out but not family friendly, the Banos rather neglected -, Perro Chico - very beautiful and well-kept beach, lively, large restaurant with a selection of food, nice Family.

I’ve written a full review on Tripadvisor of our experience that I sadly can’t paste here due to the word limit, but in short it was an amazing 4 days. The whole operation ran like a well oiled machine, and although there are a few things that could have been better the overwhelming feeling is it is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

A very interesting tour. We spent a very nice time with the Guna Indians who took great care of us. Beautiful little islands, basic accommodation, trip to the waterfall - all in all a very nice experience and highly recommended.

Breathtaking islands to explore and brilliant organisation from the team - from the pick-up in Panama City through to answering queries while on the tour

It was all amazing. From hotel pick-up to night and days on the island! Thank you all!
