Day 1

CERRO LA VIEJA

The experience on the island was amazing. The car ride in was interesting... The vehicle seemed to have an exhaust problem and there seemed to be fumes from the exhaust getting into the cab of the car. It was effecting my health by the end of the day

A perfect trip for people who want a relaxing beach/nature experience rooted in indigenous culture. Incredibly beautiful scenery, peaceful atmosphere, very kind people. The drive from Panama City was definitely windy and we got motion sickness both ways for the second half, but well worth it. A million times prettier than the pictures. I felt very privileged to have been able to learn about Guna culture and had a great time hanging out with the Guna people who hosted us. We only spent one night and I would've loved to have done at least another half-day, or a second night (arriving at 9am on the island and leaving at 8am is a quick turnaround for such a relaxing place). The afternoon activities were visiting other beautiful, unique islands, stopping at a "natural pool" where you can stand up about 1m deep in the middle of the ocean w/ starfish to snorkel and see, and hanging out on another island with a bar playing volleyball with Guna folks and drinking piña coladas. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, nothing fancy but that's the experience--if you want a 5-star resort go somewhere else. We were served fresh fish with rice/lentils and other simple but good food for our meals, very solid. A great experience. Highly highly recommend!

Had an amazing time, super peaceful and relaxing day!

By David D for San Blas Day Tour on Jun 01, 2024

This trip had the potential to be wonderful. Sadly, we booked with the wrong company (Heavens Panama). After paying for and confirming with the company, no one ever came to pick us up at our hotel. No manager has responded back to me via email. Finally, when they did pick up 2 hours later, we never stopped for breakfast on the way (as promised) and had not eaten for 6 hours before lunch was offered. We were dropped off at a really quiet island with no information on San Blas or the indigenous people who live there. There was no history or education throughout, you are on your own. The islands are GORGEOUS and so worth it, but definitely has room for improvement to enhance this trip and make it worth $140. Book with a different tour company and research if there are any English speaking guide opportunities.

Nice island, quiet and relaxing. Good for snorkeling. Nice local breakfast and lunch included. No electricity for most time, so hot nights, but romantic in a wooden/bamboe cabin. Only down side, bees around, got sting by one.
