Sailing through Caribbean: Exploring Indigenous Tropical Islands between Panama - Colombia

I have done this trip many times back in 2023 guiding backpackers from all over the world between the two continents (South America to North America and vice versa). This will be a one of a kind island experience custom-made to have a deeper connection with the kuna people, many of which I can call now friends and family. We spend most of our time on the islands, enjoying the beautiful beaches, villages, and meeting the local people. This means you’ll see as much of the San Blas archipelago as possible as you journey between Panama and Colombia, while me and my team ensures your trip is easy & safe from when you first book until you reach Colombia. I'll take you on an unforgettable adventure through the full archipelago, passing through all 365 islands with a speedboat from Puerto Carti- Panama to Sapzurro- Colombia, traveling along the full length of the third-biggest coral reef in the world and passing alongside one of the biggest untouched rain forests in the world! Even though I will be your main tour guide throughout this trip, the team that will support us along the way is constituted of 3 indigenous kuna people (1 captain, 1 sailor, 1 guide). This carefully crafted itinerary invite guests to explore the exquisite tropical islands, lounge on pristine white sand beaches, and immerse themselves in the shimmering embrace of turquoise waters. Additionally, the unique emphasis on close collaboration with the Kuna People, the indigenous culture that has autonomous dominion of the San Blas Islands (Kuna Yala) adds a rich cultural dimension to this expedition.

The first night in Panama we'll spend in a hostel that we are collaborating with and on the islands we'll live, eat and sleep like the indigenous do, so depending on the islands the accommodation will be either in beds in little huts, hammocks or a community hostel. While in Capurgana we'll be staying in a beachside hostel. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
