Detailed Description
This is a full day shared tour to the San Blas Islands from the port of Cartí, to start this tour you must go on your own to Puerto Carti, since transportation from Panama City is not included. If you need transportation from Panama City, check out other tours in Tiqy that include transportation.
It is necessary that the car in which you go to the port is 4X4 or 4X2, otherwise, the police presence that is before entering the San Blas reserve, will not allow you to go through security issues. The road is not dangerous, however, there are hills that smaller cars could not climb easily.

Once there you will board the boat at 8:30 am (the boat can leave at 9:00 a.m.) that will take you to the Islands. After a 35-minute boat trip, you will arrive at Isla Perro Chico which is the first Island you will visit on this tour. In Isla Perro Chico, there you will have a little more than 2 hours to relax under the sun, or if you like to rest on the leftovers by reading a book. This island has bathrooms available.
At 12:00 pm you will visit Fragata Island for lunch, and you will have approximately 2 hours to rest or bathe on the beach, if you wish. Then, at 2:00 pm you will visit the natural pool, where you can observe starfish.
