Absolutely AMAZING!!!!! - Amaaaaaaaazing tour!! We were only 6 people in the tour and every detail from start to finish was thought out perfectly! Iguana island is a paradise, I have never seen so may birds, craps and iguanas in one place at once! Incredible! The snorkelling was the highlight, we saw so many fish and even sharks! Blanco our tour guide had an underwater camera so we even left with amazing pictures to take home! I would recommend anyone in Venao or surrounding area to do this tour 🙌

Do this snorkeling tour and do it with Blanco! - Trip exceeded my expectations. Saw lots of iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, even a lil harmless shark! Out guide Blanco was a good part of the reason though too : he was super friendly, had excellent English and Spanish skills, gave us a little bit of history, helped me with my photos and videos, genuinely cared for everyone on the trip, but above all is just like a positive, happy dude! This is the excursion to take and this is the guy to do it with. 🫶

A fantastic trip! They... - A fantastic trip! They picked us up from our hotel and took us to Pedasi, where we got to stop at a french bakery. Then we took the boat to Isla Iguana. It was absolutely breathtaking day and the island was so beautiful. We saw sea turtles and white tipped sharks!

A must do Pedasi/Venao Experience! Local independent guides - Honestly we're not usually tour/guide people but this was one we definitely we would recommend 100%! The tour guides were super lovely and made the process of getting to the island very easy and the views alone there were worth it. In addition, they set up a little meeting spot with chairs/hammocks which we could sit in after snorkeling. The snorkeling itself was also great we saw sharks and so many colourful fish. They were knowledgeable about the fish, birds and iguanas too. If you're coming down to Venao you should 100% consider doing this tour!

Excellent experience on Isla Iguana - Our tour guide, Blanco, was amazing! He contacted us the day before we left to introduce himself, to outline the itinerary and time of pick up from our hotel. Day of the excursion, he contacted us to say the driver was almost at our hotel. Once picked up, we were taken to the rendezvous point, which was a bakery where we could use the washrooms, buy a treat. We shortly thereafter, went to the checkpoint where Blanco helped us with the Panamanian beurocracy so we could board our boats over to Isla Iguana. The island is stunning and we had time to explore before Blanco took us snorkelling. Whilst snorkelling, Blanco took underwater video that he later airdropped to each of us. We then had a picnic, explored the little beach, before returning to the mainland.

Great tour - Very good experience, we have gone two couples, along with another group of about 6 people. In snorkeling we have seen reef sharks as well as other animals. Iguana Island is worth it as there are no more than 20 people at a time on the entire island. I recommend booking with Blanco and Tayo for the tour.

Beautiful island with amazing beaches and wildlife - Had an amazing experience! We were fortunate that the weather was perfect. There is so much to see - iguanas, hermit crabs, seabirds and nice coral reefs teeming with fish. Highly recommended.

Snorkeling near Playa Venao (Pedasi) - 20 min boat ride (small covered power boat) to an island. Short hike, lunch and time snorkeling a reef off the beach. Snorkeling appropriate for beginners/all ages. We saw some puffer fish and parrot fish. The reefs are alive but fairly flat. Juan, the guide, is perfect. He was great with everyone on the tour. His main goal was to make sure everyone had a great time.
