• It is advisable to carry only a small bag with what is necessary to spend the days on the islands, leave your large suitcase in the city, there is not enough space in the car and it could get wet during the boat trip.

• This "Comarca" (Guna Yala or more commonly known as San Blas Islands) is a paradise where it is only allowed to people from its community to work there, tourism is something new to them, their infrastructure is currently under development and service might not be entirely satisfactory in some cases, if you are an intransigent or demanding person with schedules or if you are looking for a 5 stars service, this tour is not for you, but if you wish to enjoy extraordinary beaches in the Caribbean then we invite you to book with us.
