About This Tour

This San Blas overnight tour is truly unique, offering the rare chance to stay in one of the most comfortable over-the-ocean cabins in San Blas on the beautiful island of Isla Guasirdup. Unlike standard rustic huts, these private cabins provide a higher level of comfort while still keeping you connected to the pristine nature and traditional culture of the islands. Your package includes a boat tour on arrival day, where you can choose between classic island-hopping in San Blas — visiting postcard-perfect beaches and the famous Natural Pool — or an authentic Kuna community tour to learn about the traditions of the indigenous Guna people. Enjoy freshly prepared meals made with local ingredients, free use of kayaks to explore the turquoise waters. Optional shared 4x4 transport from Panama City is available, ensuring a smooth journey. With San Blas’s best cabins, cultural immersion, and paradise views, this overnight trip combines comfort, adventure, and authenticity in one experience.

PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR A 2.5 to 3 HOUR CAR JOURNEY EACH WAY OVER CURVY ROADS! THERE IS ALSO A 25-30 MINUTE BOAT RIDE TO YOUR FIRST ISLAND WHICH CAN GET QUITE BUMPY AND WET.

While we strive to provide our guests the best service and an unforgettable experience in San Blas, we are not responsible for road and ocean conditions, and we would like you to be aware of this fact :)
