I absolutely enjoyed... - I absolutely enjoyed visiting all the islands, not even disappointed at all. A big shout to the driver for picking us up from 5am and dropping us off by 7pm! And a big shout to the people of Guna territory for taking care of us from each island.

The air conditioned van... - The air conditioned van was very comfortable and our driver was experienced maneuvering around the many curves and steep inclines/declines along the way. The boat crew were slso excellent navigator as they took us to various beautiful islands. Lunch was tasty, with choices of chicken, fish, and vegetarian dishes plus a drink. I would recommend this day tour.

All day beach day - It's definitely an all day beach trip. From 5am-7pm Javier picked us up exactly on time. Stopped at the store/gas station for bathroom breaks and something to eat on. The winding road is a long way up but his driving was superb. We did go to all the beaches, which by the time you get to the last one your hot, tired and ready to go 😆. The lunch was very good. I was so hungry I wanted a second fish. You get a very brief description of the islands but if your in the back you won't hear anything over the engine anyways. But I love the experience of it.

Transportation from the... - Transportation from the city was easier than I expected and it took just about two hours on the way back. It is definitely worth travelling to see the beautiful beaches in the islands and sea water was super clear. Enjoy!

San Blas Relaxing Tour - Great tour of the islands. The lunch included was okay. You have to be open-minded on this tour. The beaches are for relaxing . You should bring pesos as there is no way to use a credit card, beach towels, snacks, bottle water, and a change of clothes. We were dropped off in each island and given a specific time to enjoy the space.

Day well spent - This tour was very fun and relaxing. It would have been five stars if the road to the boat loading dock wasn’t so winding and our driver was friend. The driver took us off route on our way back to drop off someone who wasn’t apart of our tour. The drive to and from take about 6 hours.
