The most peaceful route in the region: three tranquil islets, hammocks, and no crowds. The perfect place to truly unwind.
If your plan is to do nothing — but to do it in paradise — this is your day. Isla Aroma, Isla Misdub and Isla Guasirdub are the most peaceful cays in the area: fine sand, thick vegetation, hammocks strung between palms and the traditional hospitality of the Guna families who look after them.
The day is built the opposite way to the panoramic tours: instead of stringing short stops together, you stop long. There is time to eat without watching the clock, lie in the shade for a while and get back in the water. You arrive around 8:30 and close in the Natural Pool at 15:30, back in the city by early evening.
Pickup from 5:00 am at your hotel, door-to-door 4x4 and about two and a half hours of mountain road. Includes boat with life jackets, a typical lunch and a local guide. The comarca entrance fee is paid on the day, in cash or by card to the driver.
Great if you came to switch off and a packed itinerary is the last thing you want.
Maybe not your tour if you want to see as many islands as possible: this route goes deliberately the other way.
Departure from Panama City by 4x4 to the Guna Yala region.
Sailing to Isla Aroma, the first stop of the day.
Aroma, Misdub, and Guasirdub: a hammock, the beach, and a leisurely lunch.
One last dip at the sandbar, then back to the city.
You leave before dawn and there is nowhere to buy anything all day. The full packing list, and what happens if you forget each thing →
With 72 hours or more of notice you get 100 % of the deposit back, or you change the date at no cost. Inside those 72 hours the deposit is no longer refundable, because by then your seat in the 4x4 and the boat is held and nobody else can use it; even so, if you tell us, we try to reschedule. And if we are the ones who cancel, which only happens for real sea safety, you choose between another date at no cost or 100 % of what you paid.
$135 per person, with the door-to-door 4x4, the boat, lunch and the guide included. The comarca entrance fee is paid separately, once: $22 for foreigners and $7 for residents, in cash.
3: Isla Aroma, Isla Misdub, Isla Guasirdub. The order is set by the tide and the sea that day, not by a fixed schedule.
Pickup at your Panama City hotel is around 5:00 am, and you are back in the city late in the afternoon. The early start is set by the mountain crossing and the tide, not by preference.
Three, and organised the opposite way round to the panoramic tours: instead of stringing short stops together, you stay a long while. There is time to eat without watching the clock and get back in the water.
It is the calmest in the catalogue: quiet cays, hammocks between palm trees and the Guna families who look after them. If your aim is to tick off islands, this route goes the other way.
What does not depend on this tour — your ID, the comarca fee, route changes forced by the sea — is answered in one place instead of on every tour page. See all the frequently asked questions →
