Yes, you can visit Isla Fragata in a single day. It sits in the Limones Keys area and is included in 1 of our day trips from Panama City, from $135 per person: pickup is around 5:00 am and you are back the same day.
Small and quiet, perfect for a swim stop away from the more crowded islands.
Isla Fragata is a swimming stop, and we say so plainly. It is small, it has no facilities and it is in no brochure, and that is exactly why you arrive and there is nobody else. In an archipelago where the famous islands fill up by mid-morning, that is what makes it worth something.
It appears in only one of our routes, the southern San Blas run, which pairs it with Aguja and Perro Grande. If your idea of the day includes a while in the water with no boats around, this is the part of the itinerary that delivers it.
One route reaches this island, and it is the one that sets the price.
No day trip stops at just one island. These are the ones that share the morning with Isla Fragata.
Yes. You leave Panama City around 5:00 am by 4x4, cross into the comarca and continue by boat; you are back the same afternoon. No overnight stay needed.
From $135 per person, depending on which of our routes you take. That price already covers the door-to-door 4x4, the boat, lunch and the guide. The only extra is the comarca entrance fee, paid once: $22 for foreigners and $7 for residents, in cash and directly to the Guna community.
A day trip splits the morning and afternoon between the islands on the itinerary, so no single stop lasts all day. If you would rather stay on one island without rushing, message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you which route comes closest.
None: no toilet, no drinks stand, no set-up shade. Whatever you need for that hour has to come off the boat with you. In exchange, there is no queue for anything.
Only the South of San Blas day tour, which strings it together with Aguja and Perro Grande. Fragata is in no brochure and in no search results, which is exactly why you usually land on an empty beach.
