Guna Yala (San Blas Islands) Caribbean Sea Kayak
The San Blas archipelago consists of over three-hundred cays and islands and the best place for SUP board surfing.
An hour away from the mainland, the island’s network is house to pristine landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and communities of indigenous people who host guests to get a flavor of island life without the whistles and bells linked with luxury resorts.
Depending on whether you are planning on doing a day tour or are staying on the island for a couple of nights, it is vital to do your research beforehand and make sure you have all the essentials.
A day of exploring needs the basics: snacks, sunscreen, SUP boards, a bottle of water, and sufficient beachwear. For an extended trip, anyway, you will have to factor in the realities of island living.
Spending time in the San Blas archipelago exposes you to a fully different side of Panama.
If you get to know the hosts and their customs, keep an open mind and stay respectful of your surroundings, your stay in this part of the country will be an experience you will never forget.
The deficiency of tourist presence in the relatively undiscovered area has permitted it to flourish.
Bulky yellow and orange starfish dominate Isla Estrella’s shores; Isla Perro Chico sunken gunboat provides an amazing yet free snorkeling experience and, come nighttime, the billowing underwater clouds of bioluminescent plankton make a mesmerizing natural light show along the beaches Isla Banedup north.
