Detailed Description
This Isla Diablo 3 Night 4 Day Tour from Panama City starts when you are picked up at your hotel or residence in Panama City at 5.30am in the morning. You will be given more information about the pickup time after reserving the tour, once the driver schedules have been organised. The transport is in a 4X4 vehicle which can accommodate 6 passengers plus the driver. All drivers and vehicles are authorised by the tourism board and have the necessary insurance. You will have a chance to stop at a supermarket to buy supplies and use a bathroom on the way to the port.
You will arrive at Port at 8.30 in the morning and board your boat to go to the Islands. The exact route and order of the Islands changes daily based on the quantity of people on the Islands, and sometimes there are requests by groups to spend more time in certain places, and the operator tries to accommodate this when possible. If you have a special request, please let the operator know on the day of the tour, or let Tiqy know after booking. You will arrive to Isla Diablo at 9.30am and be given time to complete check-in and put your things in your cabin.
Accommodation:
- The private cabins are wooden structures with wooden floors and consist of one double and one single bed. If you reserve for 1, 2 or 3 people you will receive 1 cabin. If you reserve for 4 or 5 people, you will receive 2 cabins.
- The shared cabins are larger wooden structures with sandy floors, that consist of either 10 or 15 individual beds. There are no double beds in the shared cabins.
- The cabins have a main light, but only until a certain hour at night. The time that the light switches off changes depending on the amount of people on the island, maybe 8 or 9pm. So it is recommended that you bring a flash light or have your phone fully charged. There are no electric sockets in the cabins, so you must charge your devices in the restaurant if you need to.
Bathrooms:
- In the middle of the Island there is a shared wash house, that has private bathrooms and private showers. The water is not heated. There is toilet paper in the toilets but recommended to bring your own soaps, shampoos, and bring toilet paper just in case.
Day 1:
- After you get settled into your accommodation, you can spend the morning on Isla Diablo, or you can cross over to Isla Perro Grande to spend the morning on the beach, just let the operator know which you would like to do.
- You will have lunch on Isla Diablo around 12.30pm. After lunch the operator will be bringing people to the Natural Swimming pool and sometimes to Isla Fragata too. You can join this trip if you want (but it does have a charge of 3 USD extra per person to go on this afternoon trip). It is okay if you do not join the trip, because you will be doing it on the last day anyway, and this one is included in the price. If you do not join the trip, you can spend the afternoon on the beach on Isla Diablo, and then have dinner around 5.30pm. At night-time it is relaxing and suggested that you get an early night sleep to get up early in the morning to enjoy more time on the beach. But you are welcome to have some beers and listen to music and enjoy yourselves too.
