About This Tour

Spend 3 unforgettable days in San Blas, one of the world’s last untouched island paradises. The highlight is an exclusive boat tour to Cayos Holandeses, a remote and rarely visited atoll that few travelers ever see. Here, you’ll discover turquoise waters, uninhabited islands, and pristine coral reefs far from mass tourism. This tour also includes a visit to the Cayos Limones atoll, where you’ll explore Isla Perro, famous for its sunken shipwreck just off the beach. Snorkel the colorful reef, spot reef fish, and enjoy one of San Blas’s most iconic islands. Your home for this adventure is Isla Yansailadup (Yani Island), one of the most beautiful inhabited islands in San Blas. Relax on white sand beaches, swing above the ocean, or lounge in a hammock at sunset. Accommodation is rustic and authentic, offering private twin rooms in the main lodge with shared bathrooms nearby. While simple, it’s the perfect balance of comfort, Kuna culture, and island life.

Please be advised that San Blas is in the Kuna territory, which is an autonomous, Indian zone. The services are very basic and most cabins are minimalistic. The Kunas will be providing all touristic services, such as meal preparations, car and boat transportations, lodging, and tour guiding. We are proud to be working with this friendly tribe and with each booking we give back to the community, supporting their customs and their traditional way of life. We kindly ask you to respect this beautiful culture and their simple way of life, leaving your expectations behind and learning about their innocent culture.

The boat transfer from the port to the islands may be bumpy with some sea spray. If you are sensitive to motion sickness, please prepare accordingly by bringing appropriate medication. You may also get wet, so please bring some water protection for your luggage and yourself

We feel that the islands are worth the long drive, but some travelers have complained about the drive and the fast boat ride from and to the port. 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 :)

⚠️ IMPORTANT – YANSAILADUP ISLAND & SAN BLAS DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ San Blas is one of the most beautiful and untouched island paradises in the world — turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and the unique culture of the Kuna people. Yansailadup Island is no exception, offering an authentic and serene experience. At the same time, these islands are very rustic. Think of your visit as a cultural adventure or tropical island camping trip rather than a luxury holiday. ➡️ If you expect 5-star comfort, we recommend exploring our other tours in Panama. ✅ If you come with an open mind, you’ll discover a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience far from mass tourism. ‍‍ Our Service vs. Local Service We provide excellent service during your booking process and will assist you before and during your trip. We do not own or operate the islands. Once you arrive, all services are provided by the Yansailadup Island family, and quality may differ from what you’re used to. Service may feel slow or unorganized — part of the authentic San Blas experience. Arrival at the Port: Please be patient as we wait for all guests to arrive and complete the entry list. Once everyone is accounted for, your journey to Yansailadup Island begins with the host family. ️ What to Expect on Yansailadup Island Accommodation No A/C; limited electricity (6:00 pm–6:00 am). No WiFi (local SIM may work, not guaranteed). Bathrooms are basic & shared; showers may have slight salt content. Water is precious; supply may be limited. Beds and sheets may be worn or uncomfortable. What looks like “clutter” is often reused items by Kuna families — please respect their way of life. ️ Meals & Dining Meals freshly prepared by the host family. Simple dishes: fish or chicken, rice, salad, patacones. Vegetarian options may be accommodated, but no dedicated vegetarian menu. Additional food, drinks, and snacks can be purchased before departure. Transportation Car ride: 2.5–3 hrs from Panama City on curvy mountain roads; shared 4x4 SUVs (6 passengers). Extra seat = extra cost. Pick-up: 5:00–5:30 am — drivers cannot wait more than 10 minutes. Port check-in: may feel busy or informal, but the Kuna maintain an organized system. Boat ride: 20–40 min; can be bumpy and wet. Boat transfers may stop at other islands, offering a glimpse of authentic Kuna island life. Tours & Activities Tours are not guided, and not all host family members speak English. Open communication and collaboration with the family is encouraged. Snorkeling and other activities may be canceled in the event of rain or strong winds. Guests will be informed of changes during their stay. Nature & Environment Ocean currents may bring plastic debris; the Kuna clean regularly. Garbage may wash ashore despite cleaning efforts — guest cooperation is appreciated. Sandflies common during rainy/windless season (April–Dec) → bring insect repellent. Weather is unpredictable — rain is possible anytime (no refunds for rain). Health & Safety Very limited medical care on the islands. Serious issues require evacuation to Panama City (guest covers cost). Final Note Yansailadup Island is not luxury — it’s about disconnecting, embracing a unique culture, and enjoying paradise. Come with patience, flexibility, and respect. The Kuna may be reserved, but they are kind and welcoming. With the right mindset, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories. If you have questions, suggestions, or concerns during your stay, communicate them immediately — this helps us assist you and improve your experience in real time.
