Description

Explore the San Blas Islands on this day trip from Panama City. Experience a true Paradise! Lounge under the tropical palm trees of Isla Yansa, stroll along the vast beaches of Isla Misdup (a newly opened paradise island only available with our tour), snorkel amongst marine life, and visit the famous Natural Pool. Enjoy a freshly made lunch and time to relax along the way. Your island hopping tour starts early in the morning with a pickup from your Panama City hotel. Relax during your drive through the spectacular jungle highlands to the Port of Carti. Stop at a grocery store along the way in case you want to purchase items, such as snacks, water, or fruit. Arrive in Port of Carti, meet your San Blas tour guide, and board your 'lancha' boat. Enjoy the thrilling ride to the first island with waves and some ocean spray possible and take advantage of the space and sun protection to make your journey more comfortable. Our first stop will be the Natural Pool, where you can stand waist-deep in the middle of the ocean on soft sand and admire sea stars populating this vast, shallow area. Whether using your snorkel gear or not, have a glimpse of the amazing underwater world only a few feet below the surface. We continue our tour to Isla Yansa (Yani island), where you will be greeted by a tropical palm-fringed island paradise and calm waters with various shades of blue and green. Spend time here on the beautiful beach, lounge in a hammock, and explore the island. The resident Kuna family will gladly show off their traditional Molas which are also for sale. At lunchtime, savor a freshly prepared lunch, with a choice of fresh fish, chicken, or a vegetarian option. Depart Isla Yansa and head to the highlight of this tour, Isla Misdup. This is a newly opened island, which invites with its vast beaches and shallow sandbank. This island is a true paradise island, which does not receive many visitors and can only be visited with our tour. In the late afternoon, we leave this island paradise and head back to the Port of Carti. Your driver will be waiting for you and safely drive you back to Panama City, dropping you off at your lodging in the evening.
