The experience
Your first morning starts on Isla Pelicano, where you choose between snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding. The snorkel gear is yours to use, so getting into the water is the easy part. After lunch the group heads out to explore more of the archipelago, stopping at two or three nearby islands and taking in each new view as you go.
Somewhere in the afternoon you visit a local Guna community, a chance to see how people here live and to learn about their culture firsthand. Then comes a swim in a natural ocean pool, a refreshing break between stops that gives the day its mix of adventure and rest.
Evening brings you back to Isla Pelicano for dinner and time to relax. You sleep in a shared group cabin that holds four to six people. Early the next morning you catch the sunrise from the island, eat a fresh breakfast, and head back to the port for the ride to Panama City.
