Paradise on day one. Hardly wait for day two. - What a lovely day. Early start and arrive islands at about 8:00. Tour of the main village which was celebrating 99 year of independence. Guide was excellent. I not boat to visit several lovely islands. Snorkeling was great. Enjoyed good fish lunch. More islands and warm water for swimming. Lost my glasses and the guide went back to find them. Now in our little cabin and had a nap. Paradise.

Amazing experience - The San Blas islands are really something special we have never seen before! We have seen tons of islands and ate loads of fish. On the first day we did island hopping and slept on a beautiful island called Isla Aroma. The second day we did the same! Because of bad weather we decided to go back to Panama City early. The cabins on the islands are basic but because of that you get the true island experience. The Guna people are also very kind and make you feel at home. The tour operator was also very pleasant and checked on us every day to discuss the plans for the next day!

Good stay 👍🏻 - Overall it was a good experience and I enjoyed it and managed to meet new people even though I was traveling alone. They mostly adhered to the itinerary (for accommodation and island visits) with few hiccups only. You have to prepare yourself that the accommodation on each island is very simple, rustic and sometimes unclean. The food each day was generic or even bad for breakfast and dinner, but the lunch each day on different island was always very good. I recommend to bring at least 6 liter of water, some snacks, a dry bag (or plastic bag) for your stuff, flip flops, and anything else that you might need for this paradise. We got lucky and had 2 out of 3 days sun, so we enjoyed it a lot. Once the pouring rain came, it was a bit unbearable with the boat trip and the beach time.

Best days in Panama - San Blas was the most beautiful place in Panama. The trip was very well organized and the people super friendly! Also the food was very good and we could always choose between different options. Rooms were clean. We would highly recommend booking this tour!

Quite ok! - We have seen a lot. The first island was great, the food too. The overnight stay on the second island was a disaster. The food wasn't good, the "mattress" was in poor condition, and the people were unfriendly. Then they forgot to pick us up. And that even though I had spoken to the guide on the phone the evening before and we agreed on a meeting point. We then sat in the sun for 3 hours until locals from the island finally took us to the harbor in their boat. The organization can definitely be expanded. On site, the guide often only speaks Spanish, even though the majority of tourists can speak Spanish. Only after repeated requests will the information (if you're lucky) be repeated in English.

Confusion with the agency - Overall, we perceive the agency we bought the tour from and the agency who "outsourced" our tour as very confusing and disorganized. Since the day we bought this experience, we were never approached for any pro-active information giving. And we were never told the tour would be operated by another company. On the first day, our tour guide could not communicate very well. We speak English and Spanish fluently, but couldn't grasp everything he wanted to say. The tour did not follow the TripAdvisor description (days were inverted). Every day we would ask what was the plan: what we would do, where we would sleep. No one could answer our question with confidence (or at all). The boats were, time after time, delayed by 30 min - 1 hour versus the agreed transport time. Installations were rustic, but that we expected. The agency performance, however, greatly impacted our experience.

Beautiful islands/water with crude lodging - Beautiful Islands and water, clean. Three + hour Car ride from Panama City in completely full car on paved roads in good shape. Rough boat rides on wood benches and sometimes wet. If raining, luggage will probably get wet. Overnight stay barely better than camping - room very crude and no water or towels. Food choices were only fish or chicken - adequate quantity. Bring water, cool drinking water+beer available at $2 each.

San Blas 3 days - On Isla Arena the people were not friendly and the facilities were disastrous, they were not in line with the price (in the image cane house). On Needle Island they were friendly and the room had a toilet inside, it was better in general (in the wooden house image).
