Beautiful sights - Beautiful places to visit. Glad we did this excursion. Good value since pickup is included (was a mid-size SUV with 6 passengers plus driver—not very comfortable if you’re tall). Lunch was tasty—had the fish fillet. Recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks.

Amazing tour - Amazing! Super recommended, from the motorists who pick you up from your hotel and are on the lookout to leave you, Ariel and Nachito very friendly. On the island very attentive and friendly people, on the spectacular beach!

Soaking up the Sun! - I recommended checking the weather as September is one of their rainiest months. I was able to book accordingly by checking the weather before hand and enjoyed the experience (including the sun). Consider bringing water, sunscreen, towel and snacks. Enjoy!

Will do it again and again - This is a definite adventure that needs to be done. The car ride and the boat ride are an adventure by itself. Lots of fun.

Been there done that - It was a journey getting there and the driver was very knowledgeable about the islands and Culture. But the tour itself was a little disappointing. For starters there was trash everywhere and when we got to the islands there wasn’t much to do. Food offered was very basic. I recommend bringing something in case the food is not for you. The boat tour guy did not provide much information about the areas he took us. We went to an area that was supposed to have many starfish but because it’s not taken care of there were none to see. The drive was long but the driver made it interesting and fun. The islands themselves were disappointing

Broken life jackets - They do not comply with the security systems, the life jackets were broken and the only thing that transits in that transfer are boats and it seems that it will be split in two by the strong waves, everything else very beautiful in the islands, the food was also good, and the people are also attentive, I only spoil the security systems because they are indigenous people.

- In another opinion I put 4 stars because organization was lacking and I still think about it. Now I'm down to 3 because on the itinerary they indicated they were going to Pelican, Dog, Wally and the pool. We didn't, as we weren't taken to Pelican or Wally. You pay and they take you where they want. And I leave 3 because the beaches were nice.

Disappointing visit to the San Blas Islands. - Firstly we would like to thank Nacho our driver for getting us safely to Port Carti ( a 2 hour journey) and then back to our hotel safely and without incident. This review is not a reflection of him. The road was narrow but well maintained without a single pothole. Our visit was colored on arrival at the small fishing village of Port Carti and boat launching point by the trash (plastic bottles, paper plates, plastic bags and cans) which was evident everywhere. It was also present at our first stop (Perro Chico) where it adorned the coast line and was scattered along the foot path. The lunch of fried fish was not very appetizing although our hosts and servers were hospitable. The snorkeling experience was also disappointing. The last Island that we stopped at (El Diablo) was really nice and we wished that we could have come here first and spent the day here instead of going elsewhere. The coral reef was teeming with fish life which made snorkeling interesting. Another disappointment was with level of service offered by the boat operators to their clients. In many cases the height of the boats were vastly different from that of the dock and with the waves it kept changing however, no one was helping the visitors to embark and disembark the motorized canoes. My experience here was totally different/opposite to that of my visit to the Chagres National Reserve where customer service was quite good and the area mostly devoid of trash. It was carefully collected during our visit in trash bags to be disposed of properly later on.

Bad experience - We had booked the tour from the pretty beach hotel, not only did they not come looking for us, but they said we gave the location wrong when they never contacted us for that information. It's a disgrace. They ruined our experience in Panama and have no idea of the damage they generate
