Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Valeria S1 contributionOur three day vacation at the Flying Ginny, sailing through the San Blas islands of Panama, was nothing short of excellent. The captain Elena and chef German were super friendly and energetic. I’m not a fan of seafood, but the combination of the fresh local fish and lobster, and German’s cooking talent managed to delight me every single time. The islands are breathtaking, the ocean is warm and full of reefs and sea life. We even saw dolphins! During only three days we snorkled multiple times, swam in the ocean, went fishing (and caught a barracuda!), had a bonfire, went paddle boarding, bought the beautiful hand made pieces which the native Kuna people sell, and enjoyed many talks, laughs and unforgettable meals. This was a beautiful experience for all of my family, we felt disconnected from any stress or anxious feelings and at peace during the entire stay. I couldn’t recommend this trip more. Thankyou Elena!Written 29 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- José Figueroa (Poncho)3 contributionsBest trip of my life. Crew is awesome. Elena, Haizel, Alexis and Nali....thanks for everything. I met the most wonderful people on the boat, had a blast, party all day long and Flunky ball was phenomenal! San Blas is a paradise... don't think it twice, you have to take this trip! Gitano del Mar is the best choice!!! Love you, guys!!!Written 19 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marie-Andrée L1 contributionCatamaran in SanBlas was just great! Captain Danny was awesome! We travelled with our 6 and 9 years old. He recommended great activities on the different islands, adapted to our need.
My son wanted to do fishing and he was able to fish few hours a day.
My daugther is really difficult with food and he cooked her special plates!
It was just perfect!
The boat is in good condition. The service, the food, the activities were awesome!
Also, it was super easy to work in collaboration with the staff of Catamaran Adventures. They asnwered quick, provided solutions and options.
I strongly recommend!Written 18 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Food was super excellent and their kindness and dedication to our well being was just amazing! Highly recommended, the catamaran is wide and comfortable and the tours around the islands simply amazing!Written 30 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dominic Markart3 contributionsMy girlfriend and I stayed with Carlos on his sailboat for 2 days and 2 nights.
We were blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of San Blas and we were so happy to experience all this on a boat. On the one hand having the comfort staying on a beautiful yacht and on the other hand having the possibility to see couple of different magical islands was OUTSTANDING.
The service of Carlos was excellent. He is a great cook and prepared for every lunch and dinner fresh fish, lobster, crab or other seafood available in the waters of San Blas. He is also very knowledgeable about San Blas and the Kunas and makes everything possible for you to have an unforgettable time. So visit Calors on his boat before San Blas will be flooded in the next 15-20 years. Thank you a million times.Written 18 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were admittedly a little reluctant to take a trip on a boat called “f-in bueno” with 3 kids—ages 14, 9, and 3—but we just decided to call it “forkin bueno” and it was a blast. Every minute of the trip was incredible. We boarded the boat to a beautiful spread of fruit, nuts, veggies and hummus and even chocolate chip pancakes for the kids. The boat was super luxurious and huge — the pics don’t do it justice. Captain Elena took us everywhere we wanted to go including private islands, a Kuna village, and great snorkel spots. She even arranged a bonfire for us on the beach. We filled our days with amazing food, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking and even buying crafts from the local Kuna people both on the islands and the ones who came up to our boat. At night we had amazing meals from the fresh fish and crabs and lobster that Captain Elena bought for us. Then we went up to the top of the boat and gazed at the star filled sky. We all had the experience of a lifetime and I cannot recommend this enough. Also, Captain Elena’s communication was amazing. She answered all of my many questions in the two weeks before our trip and her knowledge of the local people is terrific. She took us on a personal tour of a Kuna Village and introduced us to some locals which was really enriching for the kids. Captain Elena and “Forkin Bueno” gave us an incredible trip in the beautiful San Blas islands. We loved the crew too, especially Tiana!Written 25 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ana M3 contributionsJust want to warn people about Manuel Garrido since his phone number (507) 60137296 pops up a lot for reservations of tours to San Blas. He asked me to deposit $235 to a bank account in Panama for a 2 day tour to San Blas. He did not take paypal or credit cards. After I transferred the money he told me there was no rooms available and would refund me in the next few days. Two months later, I haven't seen a penny nor think he intends to refund me.
Fui estafada por el Sr. Manuel Garrido, quien me vendio un tour a San Blas por $235. Despues que le transferi el dinero me informo que no habia lugar para mi y que me iba devolver el dinero. Han pasado 2 meses y no tiene ninguna intencion de devolverme el dinero. No se confíen de esta persona.Written 22 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
