Always recommended! - I was a little uncertain about the trip to San Blas because of what they say about the roads, but the driver of the 4x4 is a crack and drove with a calm that left me alone!

More friendly impossible - Traveling alone is always a little nervous but since I was picked up at the hotel I felt like I was with my friends, they are super attentive I loved it and made sure I didn't miss anything either on the boat ride or on the island

Something quiet - At first I was desperate to have no signal on the islands but after an hour I thanked the rest of the cell phone and networks, I was able to connect with people and enjoy my trip without distractions!

Paradise - Excellent, perfect service from the search to the hotel and the return. It is worth it, in the evaluations I saw, I conveyed a suffering on the road to arrive and it is not so much. SAN Blas is fantastic, the reception by the locals is welcoming. Don't miss.

It was so much better... - It was so much better than I even anticipated!!! There are bathrooms and drinks for sale at every stop. You have plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of each island without getting bored. Definitely bring Dramamine for the car ride if you get any kind of motion sickness.

Completely worth it for an unforgettable experience! - At first, I was hesitant to book a getaway to the San Blas islands considering how involved the process for getting to the islands was from Panama City. Nonetheless, Sea San Blas made this trip go as smoothly as it could have gone! We were picked up within the half hour so do be aware of the fact that they may tell you pick up is at 5 am but it may be another half hour before they pick you up depending on how many people are going. For my group, it was 2 of us that joined 4 other travelers in a 7 person SUV that had air conditioning. Our driver made a stop for us to get cash at an ATM and also at a gas station. The trip to the port was very windy and included many curves. I get carsick so I took dramamine before starting the trip and fell asleep for most of the way there and the way back. If you are also prone to getting carsick, I highly recommend taking your medication before riding back to the port for the ride in the SUV back to Panama City as well. The actual islands were unbelievably gorgeous and made the voyage to get to them completely worth it (see attached!) The only thing I would say is that the locals such as the guide on the boat mostly speak Spanish so it would be useful to have key phrases memorized and confirm with them the time you have to be back at the boat after each island to avoid getting left behind. The lunch options were between fish and chicken and the chicken we were served was very well cooked and seasoned. You are also able to purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on some of the islands as well as even a coconut! Some take card/apple pay but I would bring cash as a backup. Everything was well organized from what I could see and I would 100% book with this company again. I wanted to write this review even though I usually don’t as I know how daunting having so many different companies to book with can be. If you’re on the fence, I say go for it with Sea San Blas! You will have a great experience.

Best of San Blas - San Blas is a paradise. The excursion is long and heavy although it compensates for every minute. Three islands, each different. Local fish lunch, and bath with snorkeling on the high seas. Beautiful day with a perfect guide.
