#reposted from our guest @ninaaasophie. Thanks for going on this adventure with us! . San Blas Island hopping from Panama to Colombia was one of the most intense experiences of my life! Cristal clear water, white sand, tiny islands, an insight to the different and so interesting culture of the Kuna people, nice people, courious kids, period ceremony with fermented sugar cane liquor, bumpy, wet boatrides during a thunderstorm... It was not just a Caribbean paradise but especially a cultural place with so many kind people and a lot of opportunities to learn about that different culture. It was magical! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Wanderlust #beautifuldestination #travelgoals #travelgram #mustvisit #sanblasislands #Kunayala #sanblaspanama #visitpanama #getreal #explorer #bestintravel

Thanks to your support this year for Christmas we were able to support poor children in the Kuna village Armila by providing them with new clothes. Some of their parents are so poor that they cannot afford buying their kids new clothes when they grow out of their old ones while many of them are also afraid of regularly visiting the hospital. the parents afraid of possible high costs which they could not cover and the children, just like many of us, afraid of the vaccinations and needles. For the children, this of course poses potential health threats and this is where we wanted to help. On Christmas we gave out clothes in the local hospital in exchange for visiting the doctors and doing health inspections. You can see in their faces that they were still a bit intimidated but we hope that we could help these kids and that this will stick as a positive memory of the hospital with them. #thanksfortravellingwithus #sanblasfrontera #kunayala #locallife #christmasspirit #giving #supportlocally #childrensmiles #everydollarcounts

Our happy customers

This tour was the absolute highlight of our travels! I expected to see some cultural shows just for tourists, instead we lived among the Kunas and actually witnessed an indigenous culture that is still alive in everyday life! And the islands, pure paradise…! It could not have been any better! Saskia W. (Germany)

3-day island hopping Panama to Colombia

Thank you, San Blas Frontera, for an amazing day out on the islands! The trip was perfectly organized, we definitely got the best out of a short layover in Panamá! We’ll definitely be coming back. Maria & Helena (Colombia/USA)

Day tour

Worth every minute and every dollar spent. We loved the island, it was perfect to relax at the end of a long trip before flying back home. Thanks for spoiling us with lobster and delicious Octopus! Marc & Thao (USA)

Overnight stay

Very happy we decided to go with San Blas Frontera. All the food was great and hugely varied, the accommodation exceeded our expectations, being clean and comfortable. Our guide was very excited to share his culture with us and constantly ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We would definitely recommend this tour, great value for money and it rightfully goes to the Kuna people. Lauren and Rob (New Zealand)

3-day island hopping trip from Colombia to Panama

An amazing journey with Luis and his team. Great professionals and friendly atmosphere along the day. I will recommend this day tour, and definitely want to come back. The island is remote and beautiful, the team is open, and the prices are really fair. Thank you! And see you soon! Martin (France)
