Long trip but worth it! - Great time. Was raining and the guide spoke broken english but the islands were amazing. 1 hr ride in windy up and down hills was def prone to motion sickness so prepare accordingly!

It’s an adventure! - It takes a lot to get to the beautiful san Blas islands - winding roads, 2+ hours, small boat rides - so be prepared for that. That islands themselves are gorgeous. Our driver was knowledgeable and the history so that was a bonus on the long rides. Our guide for the islands was organized and very pleasant. I’d say go with a bunch of friends and bring your spirit of adventure.

Splendid one-day tour - It is a long trip, but definitely worthy. The last stretch by car is a winding road, and on the boat trip it gets a bit wet. But the islands are fantastic.

Getting Some Sun in Panama - Our driver was prompt and that's a great beginning. We picked up 3 other passengers in 2 separate stops-this is expected since it's not a private tour. Our driver was great-winding road up and down for 2 hours to our destination was hard for me since I have motion sickness but I expected that. Be aware and prepare if you have motion sickness. The tour guides boat crew at Guna Yala (proper name for these islands by the indigenous people of Panama) were very nice and efficient. They are very savvy handling the boat and the whole ride and beach experience was very nice. Even though it was a long day from Panama City for the tour, we were very pleased and highly recommend.

Extremely windy day, therefore unfortunately not enjoyable. So please check as they will go out whatever the weather. - Check the weather (wind particularly) before booking as they do not cancel in bad conditions. We went on a day that was extremely rough and therefor not enjoyable. Of course the tour cannot control the weather but I think it should have been cancelled or rescheduled as the journey out on the boat felt almost unsafe. In good weather conditions I'm sure the tour would have been great so it was very unfortunate.
