The holidays are here and a 5 day cruise might just be the right thing to blow your mind away. Imagine a 3 day sailing adventure through breath taking palm tree Panama islands with sandy beaches and a 2 day tour from San Blas, Colombia to the spectacular fortress city of Cartagena. A ride on a boat from Panama to Colombia is just what you need.
Have no worries over your safety. The horrific stories about the Gringo Trail are a thing of the past. So just relax and get ready for the trip of a lifetime while you venture into the open sea to Cartegina through two to three exciting days in the San Blas islands of Panama.
Missing such an opportunity would be, by far, the greatest regret of your life. Aside from the serene sea view and star carpeted skies to marvel at, exciting activities await you including swimming the clear waters, snorkeling over the pristine corals and skinny dipping with the fish. The friendly Kuna Islanders will more than welcome you to their world of culture and heritage.
Trip prices cover for everything else except transport costs. The coverage includes food, water, taxes and departure fees. All the immigration requirements should be taken care of by the captain before you are ready to go. It is recommended that you buy your own gears for snorkeling and fishing, although some will be provided in the boat. Also, remember to get enough money with you before you leave Panama City as there are no ATMs where you are going.
Meals will vary from boat to boat depending on the captain. If you are one looking to enjoy fresh sea food catch from meal to meal then you are in luck. Even vegetarians also catered for. You should, however, notify the captain earlier in case you have special dietary requests. You also have the freedom to carry snacks and alcohol if you please.
Most of the boats at the departure points in Panama leave on their own. These are expensive alternatives but they give you less time travelling and more time sailing on the vessel. This is great because this trip is more about the sailing part. Ensure that you make arrangements with your hotel to get a jeep to come pick you up at 5.30 am the morning you set off.
Once you are on the ship, the captain stows away you large luggage. So keep a smaller backpack handy where you can keep all the essentials that you will need during the cruise. The fee differs from one boat to the next, not because of quality of the ship but due to varying operating costs of the captains. Bear in mind that you will get your passport back once you get to your hostel in Cartagena. So do not worry, this is just procedure. A small orientation will follow once you are about to leave.
Keep in mind that these are not one of those fancy tours so expect tight spaces, less beds and very little privacy. You will spend a lot of time with your boat mates and take part in the boat chores. So keep your mind open, it is all about the experience and make sure you have everything in check.
