A Day in the Jungle & Sea
This adventure is more than a tour – it’s a journey that blends the sea breeze with the heartbeat of the forest.
Morning – Wake up at Sea
Start your day aboard Lady Lou with a healthy breakfast and a quick swim in the turquoise waters of San Blas. Around 8:00 am, your Kuna guide Lisa will arrive by canoe to take you on the jungle adventure.
Midday – Immersed in Nature
You’ll trek through rivers, waterfalls, and lush green trails, discovering hidden corners of the jungle that most travelers never see. Along the way, your guide will share stories of the Kuna people and their deep connection to the land.
Afternoon – Cultural Lunch & Return
Stop in a small Kuna community to enjoy a traditional meal, prepared with local ingredients and techniques passed down for generations. After lunch, return to the sailboat to relax on deck, snorkel in coral reefs, or nap in a hammock as the boat sails to another island.
Evening – The Best of Both Worlds
Close the day with a vibrant sunset over the ocean, combining the thrill of the jungle with the serenity of the sea.

The jungle tour was the highlight of our trip. One morning we were snorkeling with colorful fish, and a few hours later we were swimming under a jungle waterfall. It felt like two worlds in one experience.
