This felt more like organized transportation with lunch versus an actual tour. We were 6 people in a private tour with hotel pickup in Panama City to San Blas with lunch for just over $1100. The driver arrived about 10 min late to get us from our hotel at 5:25; the adult that needed to sit in a middle seat was uncomfortable for the total of 7 hours of driving. For such a long trip, a bigger/more comfortable vehicle would have been better. The driver’s English was limited and answered some questions but didn’t say too much. He didn’t offer anyone to alter the temperature or music (he sang g along a lot) provide water. Bring your own water and snacks or buy at the stop. He transferred us to a different company for the boat section. They were nice but also didn’t provide much information and just drove us to the three spots and asked what time we wanted lunch. This was a long day and lot of driving. I’m glad we went but this didn’t feel like a great value given how much of the day people were uncomfortable. The islands are gorgeous but have pretty primitive infrastructure. It got 3 stars due to the price, meh service and car ride.

Great day tour, I already posted about this. I just wanted to add another photo to show what a great time the Embrera Village people treated us to.

Ana led a very interesting tour to the waterfalls of the Chaga River and to the Embera Village. She was very knowledgeable about the tour, flexible with us, and fun to be with! We highly recommend this tour with Ana.

This trip was like experiencing a small piece of heaven. Our driver Jonny was super chill. Just a FYI if you experience motion sickness, please take something prior to the ride through the Guna Yala territory. The rode is very winding and hilly. My friend got sick from the ride. Once we arrived at San Blas island it was absolutely amazing. The views were breathtaking. The natural pool was amazing. Hands down one of the best highlights of our stay in Panama 🇵🇦.

Our day trip to San Blas was amazing! The day is long but so worth the beautiful beaches and placid Caribbean sea that you get to spend time in! Highly recommend! Our driver Javier picked us up on time and drove very well- even on the curvy roads in the San Blas territory! He also showed us wild life found on our way ( Toucans, Owls, Monkeys etc) The Guna guide Richard and the boat crew was also great…they made the travel between the islands seamless. We had enough time on the 3 islands and natural pool! There was good snorkeling too!! All and all a day well spent!

First, the tour guide, Manuel, was friendly and spoke English to me when we were alone. Once we had the rest of the group, Manuel switched to Spanish, knowing I didn't speak the language. All six of the other people were native English speakers and Manuel only spoke English when I asked him to. I contacted the tour operator in advance to check in on whether I would get help getting on and off the boat (I am large) and was assured there would be staff there to help me. Nobody was there, and I got injured. Other than that, the boat trip was good. The driver knew where to go and how to attract monkeys. However, the sloth sanctuary consisted of four sloths sleeping in their beds and a little talk about them. The frog exhibit consisted of seven-ten little teeny frogs, barely visible, in a big enclosure. The orchid exhibit was a mess. The butterfly room had only a dozen butterflies or so but was otherwise beautiful. I was really looking forward to this trip. It was the last hurrah at the end of a vacation, and expensive, and I really wanted to learn more about local flora and fauna. The trip was a disaster for me. I wrote to Tao 365 and got a cursory letter back and an offer of $15. I asked for -- and deserve -- a full refund. I was not given the tour I was promised and paid for.

Excellent value for your money! San Blas islands is definitely worth visiting even for just a day trip although now that we have done a day trip, we would like to come back to stay for a couple nights on one of the islands.

Simply paradise in a new island, thank you Guna Yala family! We will be back! It is a long day but is it very worth to visit all San Blas archipielago.

This was the best day of my Panamá Trip! Visiting 2 Islands and the natural pool was excellent as we could enjoy every spot and not running from 1 to another. Also there are FEW GUESTS ONLY!! This is a brand new Island and you will simply enjoy! Worth at all!

My husband and i booked a trip to cayo coco. We had a great time.but my huspand had some medical issues , Dr bernardo went about and beond to get him the right medication or our trip would have been cut short. we would have to fly home sooner. The people that work there were amazing frendly helpfull . W thank everyone.We defenetly go back melia jardines del reyis the brach. thank you evryone

Trip was good but the time it takes to get there is a hindrance. Also we were charged more than my friend who stayed overnight while we just did the day. Also the beach was nice but there was no fish to snorkel. The included lunch was very good.

Eduardo is a fantastic guide. He picked us up on time and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of our tour. We highly recommend him for your next visit!

This trip informative about Panama and the animals. We saw 4 different types of monkeys on the tour! Our guides were good about getting us in positions to see them. The sloth sanctuary was wonderful. The only way to see sloths up close.

We did the tour on a Monday morning. We left the hotel around 8am in Panama City. The boat ride was a fun adventure to the waterfall. You will have to walk on rocks to get to the waterfalll. I suggest water shoes to avoid slipping. Also If you have mobility problems this could be an issue. You must step up onto rocks. There are ropes on the wall to hold onto but if you are an elder this could be problematic. Also I suggest don’t bring any large bags. You need something you can strap to you. It is a great photo op and a good time. Next you go to the village. The village is informative and interactive. They will feed you fish and tostones along with fruit. It is delicious. You will also have an opportunity to buy items. On another note they will have you dance with them. Don’t be alarmed. It is fun and a basic two step. It is a nice outing.

We enjoyed the visit to the waterfalls and the Embera people and learned so much about their community and history. Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable about the Embera and made our visit interesting and memorable! Kudos to Daniel and his assistant David .
