Isla Diablo

In the Guna language: Niadub

Isla Diablo belongs to Cayos Limones, inside the Guna Yala comarca. 3 tours in our catalogue name it, from $114 per person.

Niadub in Guna. It sits in Cayos Limones, a few minutes by boat from Perro Chico, which is why almost no itinerary visits it alone.

Niadub, its Guna name, is the one you will see on comarca signs. They are not two islands: it is the same one with two names, worth knowing because maps and operators use one or the other without warning.

It is the only Cayos Limones island in our catalogue that has both things at once: it belongs to shared itineraries and it also has a tour dedicated to it alone. The $114 Classic Day pairs it with Perro Chico; the $149 VIP Day adds Pelicano and the Guna community; and the $135 Family Tour goes to no other island, which is what lets you stay longer on the same beach.

That family tour exists for a concrete reason: with children, hopping from island to island gets long, and the problem is not the beach but the boat shuttling.

Which islands share its itinerary

  • Isla Pelícano (Gorginega) Gorginega. It sits on the edge of Cayos Limones, and that position puts it both in its own group's routes and in those crossing west.
