Great cultural tour and visit to the Caribbean in one.

Published on Mar, 2025

Tito led a very fun tour to the Blas Islands. The overland ride was amazing and we stopped at several overlooks and saw a baby sloth. The boat part of the tour was well run, the Caribbean was exceptional with fish, crab, pelicans, and sharks. This was a very relaxing day!

Guna Yala village

Published on Feb, 2024

Visiting the Guna Yala village. I bought a beautiful molle that was hard to choose, they were all beautiful. I read about the culture before the visit.

Excelent journey

Published on Dec, 2023

The good manners of all the people who we dealt with and the beautiful scenery of the boat ride through the islands

Wow! San Blas is breathtaking

Published on Jan, 2023

The trip was outstanding. The scenery was incomparable. I have never seen such placid beauty, and I have been all over the world! There needs to be better instructions. The phone number for the local operator is incorrect. A number of the guides only spoke Spanish, which was not a problem for me, but it might be good to have English speakers. An active tour, with many awesome experiences, including snorkeling, swimming, and a natural pool in the Caribbean, and paddle boarding. Description should clarify that in order to get to the islands, the ride is three hours each way. Well worth it!.

Best experience in Panama!

Published on Dec, 2019

I've been vacationing in Panama since 2005 and this is by far the best tour I've been on. It was my husband and I and 6 other people, and we all had a blast and thought San Blas was beautiful. We were picked up on time at a hotel in Panama City, the drive was 2.5 hours with a 30 min breakfast stop. The driver, Billy, was very cordial, laughed at our jokes, and told us the history of San Blas. Our tour guides were Abriano and another nice gentleman who spoke English too. The islands were beautiful, the water was great... I just don't think I can describe my experience in writing other than calling it a paradise. We are all very satisfied and will be back to do an overnight tour.
