Get to know the beautiful islands of this Central American paradise, and enjoy the white sand beaches and turquoise ocean.

Although it may come across as as little chaotic it really is a very organized adventure with the guna yala people. Take the time to try to get to know them a bit. Make sure someone in your group speaks good Spanish . It’s hard to believe that there are cultures and land that are still untouched. They still have a paradise and we are lucky they allow us there. The food is delicious. All beer, soda and water are $2. I would recommend just buying it from them. The portions of food filled us up. The amenities on the islands vary from island to island but are really quite decent considering you are in the middle of the ocean. Be prepared to be wet pretty much all day long. If you have someone who gets car sick then make sure they sit in the front on the car on the drive in and out. We stayed for 4 days and just know that although you may not be sure what you are doing day to day or exactly know where you going day to day they know who you are and where you are. You won’t be left behind.

I’ve written a full review on Tripadvisor of our experience that I sadly can’t paste here due to the word limit, but in short it was an amazing 4 days. The whole operation ran like a well oiled machine, and although there are a few things that could have been better the overwhelming feeling is it is worth every penny. Highly recommend!
