Leave the city behind and immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of the San Blas Islands. After an early pick-up in Panama City, travel through winding jungle roads before boarding your boat to the Caribbean. Your first stop is Isla Perro Chico, where you can snorkel around the shallow shipwreck or simply relax on soft white sands.
Cool off at the Natural Pool, a sandbank surrounded by clear waters, then head to Isla Chichime, one of San Blas’ most iconic islands. Here, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch (fish, chicken, or vegetarian) and time to explore the beach.
Before returning, make a final stop at Isla Diablo for photos, a swim, or a last chance to unwind. With roundtrip transport, guided logistics, and island hospitality, this tour blends adventure, culture, and relaxation into one unforgettable day.

PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR A 2.5 to 3 HOUR CAR JOURNEY EACH WAY OVER CURVY ROADS! THERE IS ALSO A 25-30 MINUTE BOAT RIDE TO YOUR FIRST ISLAND WHICH CAN GET QUITE BUMPY AND WET. We feel that the islands are worth the long drive, but some travelers have complained about the drive and the fast boat ride from and to the port. While we strive to provide our guests the best service and an unforgettable experience in San Blas, we are not responsible for road and ocean conditions, and we would like you to be aware of this fact :)
AGAIN!!! Please be prepared for a 2.5 hour car journey each way (1 hour on a highway and about 1.5 hours through the mountains over curvy roads! Please do not leave bad reviews because of the road. We try to warn you ahead of time ;)
During the boat transfer, the boat may make short stops at different islands to pick up or drop off other travelers. These pauses give you a quick glimpse of everyday island life, from children playing on the beach to fishermen preparing their catch, adding a touch of authenticity to the experience before arriving at your first main destination.
While the check-in process in the port of San Blas may feel busy and a little unstructured, the local Guna community has a well-established system, and all guests are taken care of.
The road to San Blas is very curvy. If you are sensitive to motion sickness, please prepare accordingly by bringing appropriate medication.

5.00Beautiful islands, great service from start to end. The drive to San Blas was not as bad as expected. Once in the islands we were surrounded by a true paradise, unlike anything we have every experienced. Thank you Tao Travel fro making our Panama vacation memorable.
Beautiful water very primitive structures.

3.00The views were amazing! The water was crystal clear blue. The food was horrible - overly fried chicken and fish. Fried so hard that it was barely edible. The bathroom accommodations were primitive. If you want tourist to keep coming they should clean up the place! The curvy road to get there was horrible. If I could have gotten an uber back to the city I would have asked to just been put out and let the others go without me. It should also be clearly stated that this is not a yacht or a catamaran boat. Nothing about this excursion is easy or relaxing or luxurious.
Amazing tour to San Blas paradise

5.00Totally worth it! We spend an amazing day in the San Blas islands. Not sure why others complain about the drive. We totally enjoyed the jungle scenery and we even stopped to take photos of a sloth chilling alongside the road. We will definitely be back one day to spend more time in this paradise!
Top experience

5.00What a fantastic time we had! Our driver was in contact with us and picked us up on time. Shared the 4 x 4 vehicle space with very interesting people. Everyone was kind and helpful. The drive to the port was quite an adventure with lots of twists and turns and potholes. Our drivers Lenny and Jose were amazing the way they negotiated the sad road— but it is being fixed!—all the while asking if we were okay, not feeling motion sickness, etc. Not a trip for the faint of heart but well worth it. The folks help you on and off boats—I’m no spring chicken—so nice to be able to stand in the middle of the ocean in February. Food was ok— locally sourced and cooked there. Lots of beautiful life to see even without snorkeling. Gorgeous views of the jungle and islands surrounded by turquoise water—spectacular! My only complaint is —gotta get the ladder for getting back in the boat fixed. I was a little nervous, having read some reviews beforehand, but now I’m so glad I went!
Horrible.

1.00Bad experience with this 1 day tour in San Blás!! The Enterprise leads to an island that has no infrastructure to receive tourists, no seating chairs or sunshine. If you want to, you have to sit in the sand. Bad experience. the least I expected was beach chairs to sit and enjoy the beach, I'm not talking about a super infrastructure. I found it too expensive to have nothing on the island.
Decent, yet room for improvement

3.00I knew what to expect from the beginning. Yes certain parts of the ride, the roads were bumpy. It was the fun part for me 🤣. As for the meal (lunch), I order chicken and I overall didn't find it to be delicious. However the presentation was nice. Transportation to and from the port was simple.
Amazing

5.00Tao Travel 365 gave us an experience of a lifetime. Michael, the founder/CEO, was especially helpful. Thank you for the excellent customer service.
Just okay but be ready for the drive

3.00The drive there is absolutely treacherous and they do not plan appropriately so 3 hrs of just picking people up and driving involved through the most pothole filled streets. Then another hour and a half on a boat taxi dropping people off at different islands until you get to your island. Only a few hours to visit a few spots, snorkel gear all broken, severely molded and not at all sanitized between uses (saw them hand the one I just used to someone) and during covid that is highly disturbing. Not at all what was expected for such a high cost.
Pretty island horrible experience

2.00I love the islands, they were beautiful but it was very unprofessional with the driver. I had to call and be charge for international rates because we didn’t know the driver’s contact number or information as well as when we had a bathroom break the driver left and did not tell anyone and I had to call again and be charge for international rates. I want to tour or the excursion was over, the driver was late and we were the last people waiting out there for 20 minutes. I would not write this to anyone because of the lack of professionalism and communication
