Captain Nano was very laid-back and willing to adjust the tour to our desires. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The meal was delicious and he is a very gracious host! Our driver, Daniel, was wonderful! We even managed to catch up with him later in the day and he told us about the local ruins, and even saw him on the drive back to Panama City. We knew if we needed help he was nearby (we drove ourselves to/from three marina)! They are a great company to work with!

I was not sure I would enjoy this trip because it is such a long day but it was the best day ever and I am so glad I went with Guna Yala. Because of the carnival holiday I was picked up at 430 to miss the traffic. They make sure to make the most of your experience so you will leave happy. The islands are possibly the most beautiful I have ever been to and the food was the best I have had on an island tour. All the drivers and guides were excellent. I am so appreciative for the driver (Alexander) that he gets up before 4 am and doesn't get home until after dinner, and drives that route everyday so that we can experience the beauty of the San Blas islands. Thanks for a wonderful day!
