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.

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.
