Description

You will be picked up from your accommodation in Panama City to begin your day trip. Enjoy a 2.5-hour drive to the San Blas Port in Cartí, where you will meet your guide. From there, take a local panga boat to the first of the San Blas Islands. Please note that the drivers do not speak English; only the local guide does. First, arrive at Misdub, a newly discovered and remote island in San Blas, far from the crowds and reserved exclusively for our group. Be among the first to set foot on this secluded paradise in the early morning. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and untouched nature, Misdub offers a peaceful and intimate experience. Enjoy time to explore the pristine beach, take a refreshing swim, or simply unwind and connect with the tranquility of the island—just you, your group, and the beauty of San Blas. Next, head to the natural swimming pool, a stunning sandbank in the middle of the ocean. Walk, swim, or snorkel in its crystal-clear waters and discover beautiful starfish in their natural habitat. Our 3rd stop is Chichime Island, where we will enjoy a delicious lunch with options including fish, chicken, or vegetarian dishes. Here, you'll find a bar, exclusive access for our clients to kayaks and paddleboards, lounge beach chairs as well as a variety of recreational activities, including beach racquets, volleyball, and mini-golf. Finally, visit Isla Perro Chico, this island is famous for its sunken shipwreck, making it one of the best snorkeling spots in San Blas. Ask your guide for a mask and explore the colorful coral reef surrounding the wreck, either before or after your meal. As the day comes to an end, sail back to the port and return to Panama City in the evening. We are a socially responsible agency committed to fair pricing, ensuring that we support the local communities and their economy.
