Important Information
We kindly ask that before booking a tour to San Blas, all guests read the San Blas Information Page to get an idea of what to expect before visiting the islands. We are working with local drivers and guides, and San Blas works a bit differently than Panama and likely very different than what visitors are accustomed to.
This is part of the unique experience that San Blas offers its visitors. It’s important to keep in mind that tourism is still relatively new to the islands, and guests will find that accommodation is rustic, meals may be simple, and timing if often not precise.
All transportation and tours in San Blas are operated strictly by local Kuna staff and from the moment you are picked up at your accommodation until your return, your San Blas experience is facilitated by businesses run by the local Kuna community, not directly by Panama Travel Unlimited. However, we’re always in communication with our partners in San Blas and available to provide assistance and support throughout your journey if needed.
We ask for patience, respect for their times, and ways of doing things. If you are unsure that this type of travel is right for you, don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
