San Blas Island Tour
 |
3 Days/3 Nights The Cayos Holandeses (or Dutch Cayes in English) are a group of a approximately 20 islands forming part of the San Blas Archipeligo. These are some of the most untouched and least visited islands in all of the San Blas. Only 3 of the islands are populated by the local Kuna Yala Indians and all are surrounded by virgin white sand beaches, the perfect place to enjoy a couple of days of peace and tranqulity. The Cayos Holandeses are also encompassed by a coral reef, which means that the entire area is perfect for snorkeling. Join us for the only budget Cayos Holandeses tour. $280pp |

You´ll be amazed at how remote the Cayos Holandeses are compared to the other, over touristic, parts of the San Blas islands. Nowhere else in San Blas are the snorkeling sites as pristine, the fishing as successful and the marine life as abundant. The Lemon Keys are visited on a more regular basis by tourists and Kunas alike, but they are beautiful in their own right and home to the famous San Blas ship wreck at Isla Perro, star fish island and the tiny, quaint Isla Pelicano, one of the smallest islands in the San Blas. Coco Blanco where you will camp for all 3 nights is nestled between these islands, and one of the cleanest and prettiest islands in the area, and has toilets and showers. Carti is the local community you will visit if time permits during your tour. This is a very traditional San Blas Kuna village, with bustling dock.
Pick up at your hostel or hotel & transfer in 4×4 (Approx 2.5 – 3 hrs) to the San Blas islands of Carti. We advise buying all supplies before leaving Panama City. Otherwise you can pick up basic supplies in Coco Blanco (more expensive). You will be picked up and taken directly to Coco Blanco for breakfast.
For the next three days you will be taken on daily tours to the surrounding islands in the Lemon Keys and Cayos Holandeses. Spend some time on Isla Perro and swim in the waters around Diablo (Devils Island) where you can swim over to the sunken ship. Tour the lemon keys, where you will visit some of the most beautiful islands in the area including Isla Pelicano, and star fish island You will spend one whole day in the Cayos Holandeses which consists of a boat trip to some of the most remote areas including a huge sea lagoon where you will have the opportunity to admire the hundreds of star fish littering the sea floor. Then with any luck you will chance upon a group of Sting ray or even a shark or two. They can be in groups of 12 or more and some are over 8ft long. You will spend the whole day exploring the surrounding islands.
