Franklin Island • San Blas Panama Tours

No need to dream: a turquoise lagoon surrounded by a private beach with a beautiful coconut plantation can be yours, to relax and have fun.
You are free to do a lot or do nothing, as you prefer.
You can enjoy the beach of Franklin Island and with the tour included visit the beautiful Estrellas Island where you can see the starfish and the Natural pool.
What are you waiting for?

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.
We really care about our reputation. We’re not a booking agency that tells you whatever you want to hear to get you to book a trip.
Please read all our information well.
