San Blas Tours from Panama City

The most visited island

Isla Diablo, also known as Niadub, is one of the most famous and visited islands in the San Blas Archipelago, located just 30 minutes by boat from the port, in the picturesque group of the Lemon Cays.

This lively island is managed in rotation by various Guna families, which gives it a more relaxed, Caribbean-style organization. You’ll find a beautiful beach here, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying stunning views of the surrounding islands.

Just a short distance away is the famous Isla Perro Chico, home to the iconic sunken shipwreck — a must-see for snorkeling lovers and great photo opportunities.
