Flying to San Blas, the best option

We recommend flying to San Blas. Our fleet is located in the eastern part of the archipelago, so it is necessary to fly to Corazon de Jesus Island.

Embarking


Flying is the fastest and most comfortable way to get to San Blas, Panama, as the flight from Panama City takes approximately 45 minutes, compared to 3 hours by road. The overflight is simply amazing: imagine 365 islands of San Blas at your feet.

Fly in Style

If you are tired of congested airports and inconvenient flight schedules, the best option to get to San Blas is to rent a light aircraft through our consultants. This alternative allows you to travel with comfort, flexibility and incomparable views of the Panamanian Caribbean.

By road to Cartí, San Blas

Although the road is fully paved, vehicles must be vans or 4×4 SUVs, as the road is mountainous and good traction is required to reach Cartí, San Blas. Our consultants can help you book shared or private transportation from Panama City to Cartí.
