Yes, you can visit Isla Ina in a single day. It sits in the West 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.
Affordable and authentic, with simple cabins in the Guna community.
Isla Ina is one of the most honest stops in the archipelago: simple cabins built by the Guna community itself, with no resort pretensions and no resort price. What you see is what there is, and that is exactly its appeal.
It is visited on the authentic day trip, alongside Yansailadup and Nalunega, which is the route built to get close to real life in the comarca rather than to the postcard.
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 Ina.
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.
Basic, and built by the community itself: wood, palm and little else. They do not imitate a hotel and they do not charge like one. Showing that without make-up is precisely what makes the stop worth it.
Yes, buying it from the person who sewed it. Bring small notes: cards do not work in the comarca and change for a big note is not always available.
