Description

Our flagship adventure for those who want to see it ALL. A full day sailing the archipelago: you start at Cayos Holandeses —the most spectacular reef in San Blas— continue to Coco Banderos and its postcard sandbars, snorkel among corals and colorful fish, and finish at the Natural Pool. Speedboat for the group, Guna guide, life jackets, snorkeling gear and a fresh lunch included. This is the San Blas you see in the aerial photos, experienced to the fullest.

⚠️ About the day's route: The published route and islands are the planned itinerary: on tour day they may vary due to weather, sea conditions, tides or decisions by the Guna Yala comarca. The boat captain and guide make the final call, always putting your safety first — if an island can't be visited, it's replaced with another one just as beautiful.
