What to Eat in San Blas: The Tour Lunch and More

One of the tour’s favorite surprises: the island lunch. Simple, fresh, and served in the best dining spot in the world—a table on the sand right by the ocean.

The tour lunch (included)

The classic Guna dish:

• Whole fried fish, caught that very morning in local waters.
• Coconut rice—the star side dish of the Panamanian Caribbean.
• Patacones (fried green plantains) and fresh salad.

Don’t eat fish? Let us know when you book, and we’ll prepare chicken or a vegetarian option at no extra cost.

Extras Worth Trying

• Cold coconut ($2–3): split open with a machete right in front of you. The taste of the tropics.
• Grilled lobster ($15–25, in season): caught by Guna free-diving divers. Among the best and freshest you’ll ever taste.
• Cold beer ($2–4) to enjoy while relaxing in a hammock.

Tips

• Bring cash in small bills for extras.
• If you have food allergies, let us know when you book.
• Bottled water is included on most tours—confirm when booking and bring an extra bottle just in case.
