A beautiful archipelago that’s technically a country within Panama (the 365 islands make up the Kuna Yala indigenous territory). The San Blas Tours allow you to explore a unique culture and experience. The Guna people still manage the islands to this day, so you’ll get an insight into their customs and way of life while visiting.
Typically, the tours in San Blas involve staying at simple beach bungalows or sleeping on sailboats/catamarans and spending the day’s island hopping. This form of tourism is considered ethical and eco friendly as it supports the Guna’s economy which centers around coconut exports, artisan crafts, and tourism. Accommodations in the islands are simple cabins and might only have cold showers and limited electricity.

You might want to consider packing some seasickness medication just in case – even though the sailing is very comfortable, it can still be quite rough at times! Also pack some suncream and a hat to protect yourself. Some mosquito spray is a good idea as well.
The 2D/1N Private Sailboat – Island Hopping is a hassle-free option for travelers looking to see the best of San Blas. It is customizable and your schedule will be adjusted based on your preferences! On this trip, you’ll visit Isla Wailidup, the island made famous by the Netflix show ‘Casa de Papel’ and Isla Pelicano – a pristine island with a Natural Pool where you can lounge and snorkel.
