Paradise Express · 2 Islands

The way into San Blas. A brisk, affordable day trip that doesn't skip the essentials: two islands of clear water and the Natural Pool. Ideal if you're travelling on a budget or short on days but you don't want to miss the best sea in Panama.

It is the same full day as the pricier routes — same pickup, same 4x4, same island lunch — with fewer stops. And fewer stops means longer on each island instead of hopping from cay to cay watching the clock. Departure at 5:00 am, first islands around 9:00, lunch at 13:00 and the return at 15:30.

Includes door-to-door transport, boat with life jackets, lunch and a local guide. The comarca entrance fee is paid separately the same day, in cash or by card to the driver. It holds with a deposit, so you don't pay everything up front.
