San Blas One-Day Tour

This tour introduces you to the Guna, one of Panama’s indigenous groups. They have full control of the white-sand islands and blue waters of San Blas and govern themselves independent of the rest of Panama. On this tour, you’ll visit two of the 365 islands that comprise the archipelago.

Your tour begins very early in the morning, with a 5:00 AM pick-up. Guides will transport you to the shore in a 4x4. Then, you’ll set sail for the port town of Carti. The journey getting to San Blas is one of the highlights of the tour, as you glide over the surface of the bright blue water and behold the islands shimmering in the distance.

From Carti, you’ll take a motorboat to Isla Aguja, where you’ll spend time at the beach before you take a walk to a scenic swimming hole. Between swimming and relaxing, you’ll have breaks for breakfast and a picnic lunch. At some point during the tour, you’ll also get to meet members of the Guna community, who live traditional indigenous lifestyles.
