What 3-star hotel will we be staying at? Is there an upgrade option for the hotel? Or can you use our own hotel? Can you get us back at least 2 hours before our flight?

Can we see pictures of what we will be seeing on this tour?

Since your tour doesn't include the Canal and the Miraflores Visitor Center, I am thinking of flying is early moring like 6:30 AM to Panama city. Can I join the first day tour on the same day. As it starts at 10:00 AM I think I should be able to do that. Then I will use the 3rd day as a free day and visit the Canal etc. Will that be possible?

Regarding your question, joining the tour on the same day as your arrival may be possible; however, it would depend on your exact arrival time, airport procedures, and transfer coordination to ensure you arrive at the meeting point on time, since the tour starts at 10:00 AM. Your plan to visit the Canal and Miraflores Visitor Center on your free day sounds perfect. Because for day 3 the Bike tour in Old City and Panama City with local markets lasts from 2-3 hours and starts at 10 am

need assistance with managing payments

We want to let you know that at the time of booking, only one credit card can be used to pay for the deposit. Once your booking is confirmed, you can start sending your group members their individual payment links by following these steps: 1. Log into your booking page. 2. Click on "Travellers." 3. Expand the traveler you wish to send a payment link to. 4. Click 'set amount' to input the per passenger payment amount (e.g., $1000). 5. Click 'Invite traveler to contribute a payment to this tour' and input their email address. This will send an email to each group member, and they'll enter their card details to pay their share of the tour. Each person will receive their own payment receipt and can also input their traveler details, such as date of birth, email, gender, etc., on the same page.

Is there a specific time we should land/depart Panama City? Is any airport transfer included?

On the first day, you will be picked up between 5:30 and 6:30 am from your accommodation in Panama City and for the last day, the drop-off is between 12 and 1 pm.

How much are immigration fees to go to the islands, and do they take credit cards?

No, this has to be paid with cash. Entry Taxes (Standard Package Only) San Blas Islands port fee (approx. 10 USD)

How is snorkeling from shore on San Blas? Are snorkeling trips (or just small boat) available while we are on San Blas? If so, how much eg for a half day?

In reality, there isn't much to see near the islands. To see something, you have to go much further out. The tours are included, visiting several islands and a natural pool. It's peak high season, and all the boats will be occupied. For this reason, you'll have to follow the usual tours, and we won't be able to arrange different tours.

We had a very nice time at the San Blas island of Yanis. It's a small paradise! Plenty of time to relax. Why not 5 stars? Small things, like the chaos at the waterfront when you need to be directed to the correct boat and there might be some more activities posible on the island, for example as simple as a football (as you don't bring that your self). In the tour description was a sunken gunboat, but as nobody was able answer our question in English and I can't talk Spanish, we where not able to find it. I think that language has been a barrier for us as for example the optional visit to Kuna Yala Village was never offered of mentioned to us. The description of the trip mentions a 4x4 jungle drive. To set the right expectations: the route does indeed pass through the jungle, but it follows a well-paved road, so it wasn't quite the experience we had anticipated. This feedback is to improve evenmore as the overal trip was just amazing! I loved every minute of it and if you are doubting.... don't. Just go!Show more

San Blas islands are really amazing. Chichime has few tourists compared to some of the other islands. The first night I was the only tourist on the island. The hosts are preparing fresh seafood for lunch and dinner and one boat trip for visiting other islands and to go snorkelling was included. Accomodation is simple, but beautiful with electricity only a few hours in the evening. The drive from Panama City to the jetty is very scenic and during the boat trip you pass some very beautiful islands. Overall an amazing trip.Show more

  I am 71 years old. Not sure if I could do a 2-3 hours bike riding in a unknown city. Can I do something else that day or could you give a credit for that activity. If so how much would it be?
