Awesome tour! - We went on the Gatun Lake / Monkey Island tour and had a fantastic experience! Pedro was our guide and he was awesome! Super knowledgeable, professional and friendly.
Pedro and our boat captain were able to spot so many birds and animals that we would not have found on our own,! They were also respectful of the animals and their habitat.
A bonus, Pedro took incredible photos that he shared with us so we were able to spend our time watching instead of trying to take mediocre photos!
I highly recommend this experience!

Our experience with San Blas Dreams was absolutely amazing. - Even though there were quite a lot of people on the islands during these days and at times the management by the Guna community could feel a bit chaotic, we truly enjoyed every part of the trip. The overall experience was magnificent and far exceeded our expectations.
All the staff on the islands were always very kind, welcoming, and helpful, making us feel comfortable throughout the stay. The team behind the scenes also deserves special mention (Joel ?): communication via email and WhatsApp was excellent. They patiently answered all of our questions and we had many, always in a clear and professional way.
San Blas is a unique and authentic destination, and thanks to San Blas Dreams we were able to experience it in the best possible way. Highly recommended and truly unforgettable.

Amazing tour in San Blas - The company was 100% recommended, clarified my doubts from the beginning, was punctual on the go and return, and very attentive, even meeting a last minute request when I was already on the islands. The tour to the Dutch cayo was amazing, and the kunas of the island Pelicano very attentive to what we needed.

Remote, Basic, and Absolutely Beautiful - We spent 3 amazing nights in the San Blas Islands with San Blas Dreams and it was truly unforgettable. The islands are stunning, crystal clear waters, white sand beaches, and incredibly peaceful. We also visited one of the local Guna communities, which was a special and authentic experience.
Yes, it's a remote place with basic facilities and some limitations, but that's exactly what makes it so special. In today's world, it's beautiful that places like this still exist, untouched and genuine. If you're looking for an authentic adventure away from the crowds, this is it. Highly recommend San Blas Dreams!

Enverá tour, inspiring and interesting! - We did the tour with the local community Enverá in the jungle! Inspiring, well organized, wonderfully guided. It's quite touristic, but also a simple way to get in contact with a world that would be almost unreachable. Recommended if you are in Panama!

Call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye. - San Blas Dreams was a great company, very responsive, picked us up and dropped us off at our door etc.
Unfortunately, the islands are paradise lost and not in a good way.
Our dollars and business are allowing the native caretakers to live a modern lifestyle of heavy disposable plastic use, disposable diapers, everything trucked in from mainland etc.
They are very very poor caretakers and guardians of these wonderful islands and all islands seemingly are completely spoilt and entirely full of trach.
Go for a walk and you just get discouraged and disgusted.
Mattresses, endless plastic bottles and such, old diapers, old cement and clothes.
These islands are not actually quite gross now.
We would never return or recommend this tour but again nothing to do with this company.
Beautiful waters and idyllic location if you can get past the endless garbage outside your peripheral vision.
And if you want to stay up all night from generator and music noise. (The residents could care less about you and blast music hours well well after 11 PM).
Unfortunately, instead of using a very noisy generator to extend daylight by a couple of hours, it seems to run till about 12:30 every night. More ways our dollars and business let them live an unrealistic, environmentally poor and unsustainable lifestyle.
And get this! We asked them to build a fire for us and they started it by pouring gas on it, then they added more when it was going out! Native Indians that use gas to start a fire!! Priceless and sad.
All i could think of was the classic Eagles song,
'Call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye.'
I'm not gona add photos of the garbage, its just too sad.
