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.
All depart from Panama City and include transfer, boat, lunch and guide.
The comarca entrance fee is separate and charged by the Guna community: $22 per foreigner and $7 per resident.
Isla Perro Chico (Assudub Bipii) · Isla Pelícano (Gorginega) · Isla Aguja (Iggodup) · Isla Fragata · Isla Perro Grande · Isla Limón
In Cayos Limones, one of the island groups of the Guna Yala comarca, on Panama’s Caribbean coast. You enter the archipelago overland to the port and continue by boat; no road reaches any island.
It depends on the island, and not all of them take guests: some are uninhabited cays with no fresh water or electricity, others have cabins run by Guna families. We say so island by island, and overnight stays live in our where-to-sleep guide.
From $114 per person, with the transfer from your Panama City hotel, the boat, lunch and guide included. The comarca entrance fee is separate and charged by the Guna community: $22 foreigners, $7 residents.
You need identification: a passport if you are a foreigner, a national ID if you are a resident. Guna Yala is an autonomous territory with its own checkpoint and it registers everyone who passes. Without a document you do not get in, and the checkpoint does not accept digital copies.
