– Our happy customers –

“I was overwhelmed by our day tour to the San Blas islands. Despite visiting San Blas only for a day we got a really good impression of life in Kuna Yala and the Kuna culture. Everything was very professional but never felt like a standard trip from the catalog.”

Maria B.

“We were a bit unsure about visiting the San Blas islands but thanks to San Blas Frontera this trip turned out to be just perfect. Amazing island, amazing beach life, amazing culture and amazing hosts – it was worth every minute and dollar spent.”
