If you choose our optional transportation, your driver will pick you up from your Panama City hotel between 5:00 am and 5:45 am for the scenic 2.5–3-hour drive to the Port of Carti. Upon arrival, things may seem a bit unorganized, but rest assured — the Guna community runs everything smoothly and efficiently. Your boat captain will meet you at the dock, and your adventure begins! The 25–30 minute boat ride to your island may be bumpy and can include short stops at other islands to pick up or drop off guests — a unique glimpse into daily life in San Blas.

Once you arrive at your island, settle into your beach cabin and enjoy a relaxing day swimming, or lounging in a hammock. The shallow waters surrounding the island are perfect for wading and cooling off under the sun. Dinner is freshly prepared by your Guna hosts.
