If you choose our optional roundtrip transportation service, your driver will pick you up from your Panama City lodging between 5:00–5:30 am. The ride takes about 2.5–3 hours through winding jungle roads to the port of Cartí. Guests arriving with their own 4x4 vehicle must arrive at the port by 8:30 am. At the port, things may seem a little unorganized, but the Kuna community has everything under control. After check-in, you’ll board your lancha (boat). The ride to your first island may be bumpy and occasionally include stops at other islands to drop off or pick up passengers.

Arrive at Isla Asserya, your home for the next three nights. Check into your shared cabin, then enjoy the rest of the day swimming in shallow turquoise waters, lounging on the beach, or simply relaxing in a hammock. Dinner will be freshly prepared by your Guna hosts, followed by a peaceful evening on the island.
