El Porvenir Airport, San Blas Islands

When you arrive in San Blas you need to register with the payment of an entrance tax in a white building next to the airstrip:

  • $20 foreigners or $10 nationals
  • Original identity documents: passport or Panamanian ID

The “Wailidup Island” boat crew awaits you at the dock at the end of the airstrip. They will take you to Wailidup Island for a couple of minutes to pick up snorkeling gear and buy cold drinks for the rest of your trip.

Wailidup Island will charge you $85 per person for the boat ride and lunch.

It is important to bring cash for these expenses.

Dog Island (Isla Perro) and the Shipwreck

Located a few minutes by boat from El Porvenir Airstrip, Dog Island and its shipwreck are some of the most popular attractions in San Blas. Beautiful white-sand beach, tropical palms and basic facilities where you can buy coconuts, cokes and beers ($3). There is a bathroom and showers in Dog Island.

Natural Pool

An amazing sandbank located in the middle of ocean which creates a shallow surface where you can walk.

Wailidup Island (Overwater Restaurant)

Very rustic, but still the most confortable restaurant in San Blas.

    El viaje superó nuestras expectativas, ya había reservado en Aero Albrook y este ha sido el mejor de los tours hasta ahora.


  • Paul Poore April 20, 2019

    Everything was exceptional! The different loations, islands, the food, the service, the pilots, the country, even the weather!


  • Sean Allister April 10, 2019

    I really don’t think there are adequate words to perfectly describe how wonderful the experience was.


  • Celia Reyes April 7, 2019

    Que lastima que olvidamos nuestros mats en el hotel, San Blas es el lugar perfecto para hacer yoga.


  • Ernesto Saez March 29, 2019

    Contratamos un paseo en helicoptero de un día. A los minutos de aterrizar y subirnos a la lancha nos dimos cuenta que debiamos cambiar nuestros planes. San Blas era lo que estabamos buscando.

    No nos importo no llevar cambio de ropa limpios, decidimos quedarnos 1 noche en Wailidup Lodge.


  • Rocko March 13, 2019

    La aventura de nuestras vidas. Sin palabras para este tour. Nos hubiera encantado permanecer más tiempo en San Blas.


  • Lorenzo Morales February 21, 2019

    El vuelo increible, las islas hermosas y los lancheros muy amigables. Solo nos faltaron unas cervezas el camino.


  • Bianca Valerio February 11, 2019

    Hola Jaime, muchas gracias por habernos ayudado en este viaje. Nuestra familia disfrutó toda la aventura, el vuelo, los paseos en barco y la comida.


  • Patricia Gallego February 9, 2019

    Volvería a tomar este tour si visitara Panamá nuevamente!!!


  • Clara Lozano February 9, 2019

    Cada Euro vale la pena. San Blas es el mejor destino en el Caribe que he visitado. Lastima que no hayan hoteles confortables.


  • Cristian Blanco January 27, 2019

    El servicio al cliente fue excelente. Deje mi celular en el restaurante de la isla, de alguna forma Jaime consiguio que nos lo enviaran al hotel sin costos adicionales.


  • José Gonzalez January 21, 2019

    Definitivamente lo mejor de Panamá. Reservamos el mismo día y en minutos estabamos en San Blas disfrutando de las islas y la langosta.


  • Pablo Riofrio January 18, 2019

    Facilmente pagaría el doble por este servicios.


  • Lorena Mora January 11, 2019

    Este es uno de esos viajes que quiero volver a repetir. Gracias Alison y Jaimito por el viaje.
