Itinerary

What 3 nights looks like

  1. 1

    Day 1: Panama City to the islands

    Early 4x4 pickup from Panama City. 2.5 to 3 hour drive to the port, water taxi to your boat. First lunch on board, swim, snorkel a nearby reef, anchor for the night.

  2. 2

    Day 2: Western anchorages

    Sail through the western Guna Yala. Two or three island stops, snorkeling, a sandbar lunch. Sunset cocktails at a remote anchorage. Stargazing once it gets dark.

    Day 3: Last full day

    Sunrise swim, breakfast, one last snorkel stop at a new reef. A long afternoon at anchor and a final sunset on the boat.

    Day 4: Early return to Panama City

    The water taxi collects you from the boat early in the morning, about 6:20 to 8:00 AM depending on the anchorage (we confirm the exact time the day before). Then the 4x4 drives you back to Panama City, arriving around 12:00 to 1:00 PM.
