Sailing from San Blas islands to Colombia - be aware!

We often receive request from our followers about sailing from San Blas to Colombia. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any good companies but can update you on the following: We have met lots of travellers in Panama, San Blas and have been reading lots of stories as well.

We have received more negative inputs (space, seasickness, bad service, expensive, security) than positive comments. Make sure you choose the right sailing boat! or fly to Colombia with Copa airlines or air panama (new route to Medellin) for less than usd 500 which will be even cheaper than the sailing trip.

We suggest you to better visit San Blas by road transportation, stay 3 days on the islands and fly to Colombia! Be aware the some sailing boats are operating in Comarca Kuna Yala without any permit and the Panamanian government is notoriously absent with regards to these sailing vessels that regularly and routinely ferry travellers from the San Blas islands to Colombia. Secretsofpanama@gmail.com
