What is there to Do in the San Blas Islands?
The archipelago of San Blas offers a unique setting for swimming, fishing and of course, snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking. We provide you a mask and all the snorkelling gear to discover an incredible ocean filled with colourful fish and diverse marine life, we might even visit an old sunken ship. Onboard you will find paddle boards, kayaks and snorkeling equipment. Our Salina 48 catamaran even has seabobs free to use.
Don’t feel active? simply relax on the spacious and comfortable deck while you read a book, or contemplate the scenery while sipping a delicious complimentary pina colada. Do remember that this is definitely not a booze cruise and that being trashed or over drinking is not allowed.
Visiting the islands and meeting the Kuna indigenous and their traditional way of living is definitely a must, we accompany you to their tiny huts and island villages if you desire.
Most visited and Instagram-famous islands such as Isla Perro, Isla Pelicano, Robenson Island, and Chichime are indeed charming, but not necessarily the most beautiful and idyllic of the San Blas region. These well known locations are simply easy to access with a local land based tour. Our sailing areas, unless requested by guests, don’t cover these islands mentioned, we mainly sail through the most isolated, untouched and natural part of the Dutch Cays, Coco Bandero Cays and Cambombia area, "paradise within paradise".
Embarking with the right crew with profound knowledge of the area is also key in the San Blas islands sailing trips. Our crew not only knows San Blas like the back of their hand but most importantly LOVE their job. We will continue to employ local know-it-all Kuna indigenous assistants thus contributing to the local economy to the furthest extent.
Traveling with kids is not only possible but absolutely recommended. Kids will enjoy every minute of the sailing trip in this small part of the Caribbean.
