If you’re planning a getaway to San Blas, Panama, in search of crystal-clear waters and white sands, you’re in the right place. This archipelago, located on the Caribbean coast of Panama, is a tropical paradise that attracts travelers from around the world in search of adventure and relaxation. But how do you get to this remote and beautiful destination? Discover it with the help of Abisua Travel!

Transport Options:

• By Air:

One of the fastest and most convenient ways to get to San Blas is by flying from Panama City to El Porvenir Airport. Abisua Travel can arrange charter flights from Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport, Albrook in Panama City to El Porvenir, followed by a journey by speedboat or motorboat to the islands of San Blas, allowing you to reach the islands in less than an hour.

• By Land with Your Own Car.

If you plan to travel with your own car, you need to know the following:

• The car must be 4×4 for the Guna General Congress to allow you to pass the checkpoint.
• You must be at the port by 8:30 am, so I recommend starting your journey at 5:00 am since the road has many curves and hills.
• You also need to know that to enter San Blas, you pay some taxes:
  • Entrance:

*USD 20.00 per foreigner

*USD 5.00 per national or resident.

*USD 15.00 per car.

• Port:

*USD 3.00 Parking

*USD 2.00 per person.

• In San Blas we have 3 ports and depending on which island you travel to, we will tell you which port you need to arrive at.
• Our staff will be waiting for you at the port to take you to the island where you booked.

• By Land and Sea with Abisua Travel.

If you prefer a more land and sea adventure, Abisua Travel organizes a trip in 4×4 vehicles with a capacity of 6 passengers from your hotel in Panama City to the Caribbean coast, followed by a journey by speedboat or motorboat to the islands of San Blas. This trip may be longer, but it gives you the opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way. This option is the simplest, most economical, and most commonly used.

Book in Advance:

Abisua Travel recommends booking your flights and accommodations in advance to secure your place, as well as transportation services and day trips to the islands.

Prepare Your Luggage:

Don’t forget to pack your original passport, sunscreen, insect repellent, swimsuits, lightweight and comfortable clothing, as well as cash in US dollars, as the islands do not have ATMs and everything you buy and consume on the island is paid for in cash.

Respect Local Culture:

Remember that the islands of San Blas are home to the Guna community, so it is important to respect their traditions, culture, and environment during your visit.
