Beautiful island with an awesome guide - This excursion is so freaking cool!! Blanco is an awesome guide. He picked us up, we stopped for some food and then hit the island. Blanco is really knowledgeable about playa venao and the island. He took us to two different snorkel spots and we saw a turtle! Awesome day.

Very fun day in the sun! - It’s all in the details and Blanco thought of everything for a relaxing, fun day on the island! (We took advantage of his excellent English and asked him all kinds of questions which he kindly provided answers to.) Blanco immediately set up hammocks under a covered pavilion for us to lounge in. He brought plenty of cold drinks, fruit, and sandwiches for us all to enjoy throughout the afternoon. He led us over to the other side of the island- providing interesting facts along the way. We swam over there and climbed on the rocks. We were able to see thousands of hermit crabs and many iguanas! He also supplied us with snorkeling gear and led us on a snorkeling adventure! I had never heard the fish biting the corral before…it sounded like a crackling fire under water! We saw many different types of fish. Amazing! It was a very fun day on an absolute beautiful island!!! Thank you Blanco for taking care of every detail!

Awesome half day trip to Iguana Island! - This trip was such a blass! Blanco "Juan" picked us up where we were staying and right from the start he showed his great personality. On the way to the boat that would take us out to the island we stopped at a very good bakery in Pedasi (Tasty!). Once on the island we could see lots of iguanas and millions of hermit crabs on the beach. The best part was snorkeling with Blanco, where we were lucky enough to see some reef sharks. We also had time to eat a snack that Blanco had brought and prepared, and walk around the island and see the beautiful nature. On the way back we were also lucky enough to see some dolphins, so with that said this day trip was absolutely amazing! I can really recommend this! Best wishes, Emelie & Jonas

Awesome Experience! - This trip was a whole experience! The bus driver picked us up at our hotel on time and we were going to a french bakery in the town of Pedasi! Delicious breakfast 🤩then our tour guide met us there.Very friendly and english speaker! We went on the boat to the island and it was just stunning. We had a good sandwich and started to explore the Island and it’s wildlife. Over all awesome tour and a must when coming to this side of Panama. They give their clients good attention to make this experience memorable🌞

Do not book this trip until you are here! Use only local people! - We never made it , our guide Juan changed the meeting time twice and then canceled the morning we were to go. Unfortunately, we were only in Pedasi for 3 days, and due to wind, we were unable to reschedule. We spoke to a local hotel owner who knows everyone in town, and she said she had never heard of our guide and suspected he was from out of town. I suggest waiting until you are here to book your trip to the island and DO NOT book on Trip Advisor!
