3D/2N San Blas Island Hopping + Trip to Cayos Holandeses｜Panama

Spend 3 unforgettable days in San Blas, an area that is unlike any other in this world. On the second day, we include a boat tour to the Cayos Holandeses atoll, a remote area of San Blas not many people get to experience. Witness unparalleled beauty of the last true remaining paradises on earth. On the third day, you will get a glimpse of the Cayos Limones atoll, visiting Isla Perro island with its famous shipwreck, located right off its beach. Snorkel on the colorful reef and play with the abundant, little reef fish.

You will be staying on Isla Yansailadup (aka Yani Island). We believe that Yani Island is one of the most beautiful populated islands in San Blas. Featuring rustic, private rooms in the main building, you will have two twin beds available. The shared bathrooms are a few steps away.

Itinerary:

If choosing our optional roundtrip transportation service (available during checkout), a friendly driver will meet you at your Panama City lodging between 5:00am and 5:45am and safely transport you and up to five other guests to the Port of Carti. Relax and start enjoying the 2.5 to 3 hour journey through the spectacular jungle highlands. Oftentimes we encounter wildlife, such as monkeys and sloths on the road and will gladly stop the car to give you opportunities to admire these beautiful animals and to take photos. Our drivers will also stop at a grocery store in case you want to purchase any items, such as snacks, water or fruit.

When arriving at the port a “lancha” boat will be waiting for you, ready to take you to your island.

The 30-minute boat ride to Isla Yansailadup may be a little bumpy. Depending on ocean conditions, there may be some ocean spray.

As you arrive at the island you will be greeted by the calm, turquoise seas, surrounding the island.

After settling into your private room, start enjoying the beaches or getting to know the local Kuna family.

Lunch is served at around 12:30pm and usually consists of the fresh catch of the day (we do offer vegetarian or non-seafood options).

On Day 2, enjoy the morning on the island. After lunch, we will embark on a 1 hour boat trip to the remote Holandeses atoll, spending the remainder of the day playing on the pristine, uncrowded beaches and snorkeling on the healthy, colorful reefs.

On your departure day (Day 3), check-out from your room is at 8:00am. You will have the morning again to enjoy on Yani Island. After lunch, you will join another island boat tour to the Lemon Cays. Visit Isla Perro and the famous Natural Pool, standing waist-deep on a sunken island in the middle of the ocean.

At around 3:00pm the tour concludes and will return to the port. Your driver will be waiting for you to return to Panama City, arriving at your lodging by 7:00pm.

This is a unique adventure and we encourage you not to miss the opportunity to make amazing memories that will surely last a lifetime!
