Day 1
Arrive in Panama, then a quick flight on a small plane to Porvenier. You will be greeted by your crew and brought back to your charter yacht via the tender. Enjoy a leisurely lunch onboard, then visit enchanting Nalunega. A short trip over to the Chichime Cays allows plenty of time to watch the sunset over the mountains of Panama.
Day 2
Spend the morning snorkeling the crystal clear waters, reluctantly returning to the yacht for lunch. As you dine al fresco on the shaded deck, your captain will move the boat to the next anchorage: Holandes Cays. You can hardly wait to plunge back into the water, or perhaps take a stroll on the white sand beach and relax beneath a coconut palm.
Day 3
Greet the day with a cup of fresh-brewed coffee, watching the sun rise from behind a perfect tropical island. Following breakfast, leave for the Coco Bandero Cays. Lunch will be a beach barbeque, followed by a nap on a hammock strung between two palm trees. Then maybe a swim or kayaking before cocktails at sunset.
Day 4
You awake to the quiet hum of engines as you head toward Alitupu, close to the mainland. Explore the nearby rivers and enjoy the thick shade of the rainforest and the songs of the vast number of birds that live there.
Day 5
Leave Alitupu in the morning to spend the day at Nurdupu. Yet another example of a perfect tropical island, Nurdupu is dotted with coconut palms and breadfruit trees, ringed by white sand beaches and surrounded by clear azure waters. Dinner is perhaps lobster that the chef has purchased from a local fisherman.
Day 6
Leave the serene perfection of Nurdupu for the more populated island of Rio Diablo. Lunch in town to try out the local cuisine and enjoy the hospitality of the friendly Kuna Indians. The afternoon will be spent leisurely exploring the Rio Nasadi with its large stands of bamboo and mango trees.
Day 7
An early start for Ustupu, home to the largest village in San Blas, population 8,000! But there is still time to stop for one last quick swim in the gin-clear waters before showering and a short trip to the airstrip where you meet your plane to take you back to civilization. You know you have return, you still have several hundred islands yet to explore. The adventure will continue...
