Catamaran adventure in San Blas, Guna Yala (Panama)

Adventure through the Caribbean archipelago of San Blas, made up of 365 islands, many of them deserted. It is an independent region belonging to the Guna Yala ethnic group, in the rich lands of Panama.

We will make the trip aboard our Lagoon 42 catamaran, which offers all the comforts for an adventure through deserted islands, with crystal-clear waters, a magnificent place to practice snorkeling and live experiences in Stand Up Paddle and Kayak.

We will sail through this magnificent natural park with crystal-clear waters, coral reefs and white sand beaches with beautiful coconut trees. With magical spots like Cayo Holandeses, Cayo Coco Bandero, Cayo Chichime, Camboya, the Banedup and Perro Pelícano islands and many more, it is an amazing place for snorkeling, paddle surfing and kayaking exploration adventures.

Food and drinks are included on board. Our crew will cook delicious dishes of all kinds, where we will taste the fresh seafood of the region: lobsters, crabs, octopus, snapper... All the fresh fish will be offered to us by the Kune, they are great fishermen and every day they come by with fresh fish. We will also enjoy delicious paellas that we will cook on board, or we can go down to the islands and taste this delicacy in the shade of the coconut trees.

The nights will offer us a starry sky where we can see stars, constellations and planets. The vision of the night sky is a total spectacle, we will feel as if we could catch the stars with our hands.

Just relax! If that is your goal, you are in the right place. Away from all the hustle and bustle, you can relax in a hammock in the shade of a coconut tree, sunbathe on the deck of our catamaran, enjoy a deserted island, watch the sunset, fall in love with starry nights or simply toast to life.

Plan

365 paradise islands for you! What we describe below is just a suggested reference, as we are very flexible and will work out our route at check-in when you board the catamaran, taking into account what you wish to do.

The suggested route is for a one-week stay, a perfect time to get to know San Blas without rushing and enjoy the best of this paradise. We don't have a minimum stay, but the longer you stay, the more you'll enjoy it.

Day 1 – Cayo Chichime:
Chichime is a beautiful island and one of the largest, but walking around it takes no more than 20 minutes through amazing landscapes, crystal-clear waters with the most diverse shades of blue. There is also Chichime Chica, which is full of starfish all along the shore.

Day 2 – Cambodia:
Cambombia is one of the islands where there are the most starfish. A quiet beach with white sand and full of palm trees. There is also a place to snorkel on the island. You can walk all around the island and also meet the Gunas who live there.
Cambombia is one of the quietest islands. The anchorage looks like a large swimming pool, very protected, excellent for activities such as Stand Up Paddle and Kayak.

Day 3 – Cayo Coco Bandero:
These are three of the most beautiful islands in the archipelago. Crystal-clear waters, paradisiacal islands and an incredible Kuna family; that's Coco Bandero.

Day 4 – Morrodup Dutch Cays:
Morodup or Turtle Island is a great place to snorkel and for the bravest, it is also the place where you can swim with sharks, Nurse Shark or Caribbean Reef Shark (both harmless, they do not attack).
After enjoying the island, there is always time for a delicious grilled fish on the coconut bonfire on the island.

Day 5 – Sipadup Dutch Cays:
Sipadup is located in the lower part of Dutch, an area that only a few boats can access. Most of the time we have the whole island to ourselves.

Day 6 – West Holland Keys:
Waisaladup is one of the best snorkeling spots in San Blas. It has an incredible coral garden protected by the island. Easy even for those who are not expert snorkelers.

Day 7 – Banedup, Pelican Dog:
These three islands are where their own marine life has developed and are an incredible place for snorkeling.
