SAN BLAS ISLANDS

Details

Just off the Caribbean coast of Panama lies the San Blas Islands, perfect for a trip off-the-beaten-path. Made up of more than 370 islands, the best way to experience the San Blas Islands is by sea. A majority of the islands are uninhabited, except for the Kuna Indians, creating the perfect paradise on land and sea. Visitors can expect to see colorful flora, dolphins, and unexplored beaches. Charter a luxury yacht for a week full of fun and adventure with family and friends as you take in the beauty of the topics.

Day 1 – We suggest that you start your journey off at Green Island which features amazing snorkeling, pristine beaches and towering coconut trees. Enjoy the day by either staying onboard and taking advantage of your luxury private yacht or go ashore for a picnic on the beach.

Day 2 – The next stop on the journey also provides an incredible snorkeling spot. Coco Bandero is situated behind a four-mile long barrier reef where snorkelers can expect to see snappers and groupers. Another option to keep you busy is fishing. Catch a large tropical fish and have it cooked-up onboard your private yacht for a fresh seafood dinner.

Day 3 – The next morning drop anchor at Swimming Pool Anchorage, one of the most popular spots in the San Blas Islands. Enjoy the day relaxing on board your yacht and venture on land for a barbeque on the beach. On the northern part of the island there is a tunnel that travels underneath the reef creating a snorkeling experience unlike any other.

Day 4 – Today you’ll adventure to the island of Carti where boaters are encouraged to go ashore and visit the small museum that gives the history of the islands and allows guests to experience the lifestyle of the natives that live there. If you’re lucky you’ll be there during one of the many dance festivals where you can buy local goods as well.

Day 5 – On the last day in the San Blas Islands you will be visiting Dog Island. This small island is owned by two brothers who charge $1 to visit but offers an incredible snorkeling spot. Back in 1950 a cargo ship wrecked off the coast creating a reef that attracts many visitors to this day. Finish off the day by going back on board and indulging in a local cuisine.
