Isla Nugnudub belongs to Cayos Limones, inside the Guna Yala comarca. One tour in our catalogue names it, from $135 per person.
An inhabited Guna community, with cane houses beside the water and wooden canoes moored at the door.
It is an inhabited island, not a beach cay: a Guna community lives here, with cane houses raised almost over the water and wooden canoes moored at the door.
One tour in the catalogue names it, the $135 photography one, and the format answers what the island is: you walk through the community with time to photograph, and the day closes with a swim at the Natural Pool. It is not a beach stop with the community next door; it is the other way round.
Entering an inhabited island carries rules that do not apply on a deserted cay, and they are common sense: somebody's house is not a set.
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.

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 $135 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.
