Pelicano Island Day Trip | Guna Community, Starfish Pool & 3 Islands
Description
Experience the beauty and culture of San Blas on a full-day adventure that includes Pelicano Island, the Starfish Pool, and a visit to a traditional Guna community. While Pelicano Island is known for its appearance in Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), this tour offers much more than just a filming location—it’s a chance to explore multiple tropical islands and connect with Panama’s rich indigenous culture.
Your day starts with 4x4 transport from Panama City to the coast, followed by a boat ride through the calm waters of Guna Yala. Along the way, you’ll stop at three islands, including Pelicano, where you’ll have time to relax, swim, and take photos. You'll also visit a local Guna village to learn about their customs and way of life, making this trip both fun and meaningful.
After a traditional island lunch, you’ll head to the Natural Starfish Pool, a shallow sandbar perfect for swimming, floating, and capturing unforgettable photos. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to explore more than just one beach—it’s a cultural and scenic day trip ideal for curious adventurers.
