Beautiful Island with very friendly and helpful GunaYala people! The organisation of the transport and tours (nature pool, Isla chichime & Isla hierba) was TOP !!! Highlight of the Island perro chico, was the snorkeling on the sunken boat just in front of the beach "easy also to do with kids"! The food was very delicious with a lot of different choices. In total it was a super experience to sleep on a small Island with cristal clear water!!! San Blas should be a must do if you are in Panama!

If you’re looking for the perfect boat to explore the San Blas Islands, stop searching — this is it. Sailing with Paul and Daniela aboard Play to Live was the trip of a lifetime — one we’ll never forget. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel completely at home. They’re warm, generous, and truly passionate about what they do. The food was unforgettable. Daniela made delicious meals — pasta, handmade pizza, fresh salads — and we devoured everything she made. And Paul’s pancakes? One morning, with a palm-covered island in the background and coffee in hand, we had tears of joy. It was that perfect. Paul is an incredible captain — experienced, making us feel safe every step of the way. Together with Daniela, they took us to quiet, untouched islands with no crowds, just pure natural beauty. They shared fascinating stories about the Kuna people and their way of life, which made every stop even more special. We snorkeled over vibrant coral reefs, swam with stingrays, and even learned a bit about sailing. In the evenings, we sat under a sky filled with thousands of stars. Being the only guests on board made it feel like a completely private experience. Paul and Daniela tailored the trip to us, making sure we had the best time — even when we found ourselves dancing around on the boat in pure joy. If you want to disconnect, experience nature, eat amazing food, and be guided by two genuinely amazing people, Play to Live is the perfect choice. The San Blas Islands are a hidden gem, and this is the best way to explore them.

I loved the location, the views were beautiful, the staff were friendly, the food was amazing
