Disorganized transportation with NO REAL TOUR. - So disappointed. I almost never write critical reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others. This is not really a "tour" they are selling. It is simply disorganized transportation to 3 islands and a sand bar .... and they DO NOT TAKE YOU TO the islands they advertize. You will not meet the San Blas people, except for a couple folks helping shuffle people around in boats. There is no "English Guide" and no stories told about the people or the place. No kayaks, although listed in the actual tour title! Get the picture? And by "disorganized" I mean disorganized. We got shuffled around from boat to boat, so even our small group and driver changed multiple times. So glad we did not buy mulitple day overnight tour which we heard from others was REALLY bad, as well. You get a mosquito net OR sheets. Not both. No real mattress. Super primitive. My question was "Where's the money going?" Not to the Kuna people, for sure.
