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.

Wonderful day. Everything is as described in the schedule. Pick up at 5h30, 3h drive including a fairly eventful hour. Arrival around 9h-9h30 to embark on small boats. 1st drop on a magnificent island with a bar, a swing etc. 2nd stop: Island where fresh fruit, paddle and canoe await you. 3: direction the natural swimming pool: snorkeling to admire fish and stars 4: direction Pero chico (casa de papel) to eat, swim and relax. Back on dry land around 4 p.m. To be done again without hesitation.

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!

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

The operator complied with everything that was offered in the package description.
