Yes, you can visit Isla Limón 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.
It gives its name to the Cayos Limones, a historic landmark for sailors.
Isla Limón gives its name to the whole Cayos Limones group, the most visited cluster in San Blas and the one that holds Perro Chico, Diablo and Pelícano. For years it was a reference point for sailors entering the area.
Today it gets fewer visits than the islands that carry its surname, which is both an irony and an advantage: you reach the island that names the place and there is no queue.
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 Limón.
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.
After this one, yes, and the whole group is the busiest in the archipelago: Perro Chico, Diablo and Pelícano are all in it. For decades it was a landmark for anyone sailing through.
Less so than the islands that carry its surname, which is quite the irony. You set foot on the one that named the place and you queue for nothing.
