If you selected our optional transportation, your driver will pick you up in Panama City between 5:00–5:30am for a scenic 2.5–3 hour ride to the Port of Carti. Guests driving on their own must bring a 4x4 vehicle, as required by Guna authorities. At the port, operations may look unorganized, but the Guna community runs everything efficiently. Your boat will bring you to your island (25–35 minutes), possibly stopping at other islands to pick up or drop off guests, offering a glimpse into real Guna life.

We recently discovered this little gem in the paradise of San Blas. This island, called Yansailidup, offers everything one would imagine of a perfect island getaway. Away from the mass tourism, you will find peace and tranquility during your stay, giving you plenty of opportunities to bathe in the balmy ocean, snorkel around the reef, lounge in a hammock, while observing another spectacular sunset or counting the shooting stars at night. Upon arrival, the Guna family will welcome you and show you to your private oceanfront cabin. After settling in, enjoy lunch and spend the rest of the day relaxing on the beach, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and getting to know the local Guna community that lives directly on the island. Enjoy dinner as the sun sets over the Caribbean.
