Frequently asked questions

San Blas is a paradise in the Panamanian Caribbean, with 365 islands of white sand, crystal clear waters and a unique indigenous culture. It is the ideal place to disconnect and live an authentic experience in nature.

December to May is the best time, with good wind for sailing and little chance of rain. From May to December the rains are more frequent, but tend to be heavy and short, and the archipelago is quieter, perfect for those looking for an out-of-season experience.

Our schedules may vary slightly depending on the transport you choose.
