Location: San Blas Islands
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
Duration: 3 Days
Departure Time: 05:00
Transfer Panama City - San Blas Chichime Islands (L/D)
You will be picked up at your accommodation in Panama City early this morning and taken on an exciting ride through the jungle on 4x4 transportation. We will then make a stop to pass through immigration formalities and pay the entrance fees to Kuna Yala Islands (not included in standard package).
We will continue our way to the dock where you will meet your boat to take a shared transfer to your island. Upon arrival, get settled in and enjoy an excursion to discover the breathtaking surroundings of this pristine place.
Note: Please note that there will no longer be a stop at the supermarket to avoid unnecessary time loss and to be able to arrive at the port as soon as possible. Therefore, we encourage you to purchase supplies to take with you to the island (snacks, drinks, water) the day before the tour.
*Note: This "Comarca" is a paradise where it is only allowed to people from its community to work there, tourism is something new to them, their infrastructure is currently under development and service might not be entirely satisfactory in some cases.
Day 2: San Blas Islands, Panama
Location: San Blas Islands
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
San Blas Chichime Islands (B/L/D)
Enjoy a fresh breakfast with the sounds of the waves on the shore. Today you will take on a day tour in Natural Pool, a sandbar in the middle of the sea that serves as a home for starfish. There you can take amazing photos, swim and relax in an idyllic setting. But … remember not to take the stars out of the water!
After Natural Pool you will visit to Fragata Island, opt to swim or snorkel around your island in the crystal clear turquoise waters to spot colourful tropical fish among coral reefs or simply spend time relaxing on a hammock. Also, you will have the chance to visit one of the most famous islands in San Blas: Dog Island, get delighted by this beautiful scenery with the cleanest water. This is one of the top snorkelling places in Guna Yala. It's a top snorkelling place because of the old navy shipwreck of a gunboat. If the tide is low you can see its rusty bow sticking out of the sea when the tide is up you can snorkel over and around it and find yourself in a magical place full of life.
Hire a boat and visit a traditional Kuna Yala village of this archipelago, where you can purchase handmade souvenirs to contribute to the community (optional activity at extra cost, inquire upon arrival). Spend the evenings watching the horizon turn different shades of red and pink as the sun sets over the Caribbean.
