Itinerary

Expand All
Day 1: Panama City - San Blas Islands, Panama
Location: San Blas Islands

Duration: 4 Days

Departure Time: 05:00

Transfer from Panama City to San Blas Islands (L/D)

You will be picked up at your accommodation in Panama City early this morning and taken on an exciting ride through the jungle on 4x4 transportation. We will then make a stop to pass through immigration formalities and pay the entrance fees to Kuna Yala Islands (not included). We will continue our way to the dock where you will meet your boat to take a shared transfer to your island. Upon arrival, get settled in and enjoy the breathtaking surroundings of this pristine place.

Note: Please note that there will no longer be a stop at the supermarket to avoid unnecessary time loss and to be able to arrive at the port as soon as possible. Therefore, we encourage you to purchase supplies to take with you to the island (snacks, drinks, water) the day before the tour.

*Note: This "Comarca" is a paradise where it is only allowed to people from its community to work there, tourism is something new to them, their infrastructure is currently under development and service might not be entirely satisfactory in some cases.


Day 2: San Blas Islands, Panama
Location: San Blas Islands

San Blas Chichime Islands(B/L/D)

Enjoy a fresh breakfast with the sounds of the waves on the shore. Today you will take an island tour in Natural Pool, near the coral reef, there is a natural pool where you can bathe. It does not cover much, above the knees. The water is really calm since there aren't currents or anything like that. Also, you will visit Fragata Island, this island is the typical postcard island, it is a small islet from which comes a lot of sand that joins another smaller island. You can walk through it or opt to swim and snorkel around the island in the crystal clear turquoise waters to spot colourful tropical fish among coral reefs or simply spend time relaxing on a hammock. On one of these days, you can also hire a boat and visit a traditional Kuna Yala village of this archipelago, where you can purchase handmade souvenirs to contribute to the community (optional activity at extra cost, inquire upon arrival). Spend the evenings watching the horizon turn different shades of red and pink as the sun sets over the Caribbean.

*The order of the Island visit can change between day 2 and 3


Day 3: San Blas Islands, Panama
Location: San Blas Islands

San Blas Chichime Islands(B/L/D)

Enjoy a fresh breakfast with the sounds of the waves on the shore. Today you will take an island tour in Natural Pool, near the coral reef, there is a natural pool where you can bathe. It does not cover much, above the knees. The water is really calm since there aren't currents or anything like that. Also, enjoy a visit to Perro Island and get delighted by this beautiful scenery, It might even offer the cleanest water in the world and is, therefore, one of the top snorkeling places in Guna Yala. The one thing that makes Dog Island, so special is the shipwreck in front of its shores. Here you’re able to snorkel and uncover the leftovers of an old army gunboat that Mother Nature has taken over throughout the years. This is a real-life paradise, see how beautiful it is! It feels like a tiny, deserted island in the middle of nowhere. Spend the evenings watching the horizon turn different shades of red and pink as the sun sets over the Caribbean.


Day 4: San Blas Islands-Panama City, Panama

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
