All 15 San Blas Day Tours Compared
Every one of our day tours leaves Panama City around 5:00 a.m., crosses the mountains by 4x4 to Cartí port and continues by boat. You are back the same afternoon. The only things that change from one to another are which islands you see and what lunch includes.
All of them include the door-to-door transfer, the boat, lunch and the guide. The comarca entry fee ($22 foreigners / $7 residents) is paid separately, in cash or by card to the driver.
All 15, side by side
Sorted from cheapest to priciest. If this is your first time and you would rather not think about it, the most chosen one is the 3-island tour with the Natural Pool.
