Hidden adventure - Johnny our tour guide was awesome. Picked us up at 4am and took us to the port to catch the boat to the island. In the island our tour guide was great as well as he ensure that we were fed and ready to go to visit other islands. The day ended at 8pm when we got back to the city. San Blas is truly a magical place and it's people the Guns are very welcoming.

10/10 so much fun - We had the best time on this tour! Our driver Johnny was punctual, communicative, and knowledgeable, and the tour guide for the island hopping part of the trip was so cool, he was part of the indigenous Guna tribe and spoke fluent English and Spanish. The road was totally paved, but if you're not used to curvy mountain roads the last hour or so of the drive from panama to the dock may be a good time to take some dramamine. The boat ride was initially pretty bumpy and we did get soaked haha, but overall it was an incredible experience and the islands themselves are absolute paradise.

Experience in Isla San Blas - They offer a service that does not comply, first they offer us an all-inclusive package and then we get an email where we are informed that we must pay the taxes of 22 dollars per person, then in the package comes that included snorkeling with equipment and at no time we were offered that service, the price is very high because you can get much cheaper by another company, I do not recommend buying the packages by this means to the island san blass. In favor the people who transport us are very punctual and patient with us tourists I have no complaint about them, but if the company that is in charge of selling the packages is an exaggerated value, from the menus what you can choose for lunch, I recommend ordering chicken to eat, the fish is not so fresh, you have the expectation that it is fresh and it is not, perhaps because of the number of dishes they must prepare, the dishes are cold.

Ride from hell - Horrible driver there’s no tour just maniac driving. Making passengers ill. Never made it on the boat because my husband and another passenger were throwing up and shaken from the horrible driver. Then he laughed when we needed to get back to the hotel. We paid 130 US dollars to get back.
