Smooth Sailing Tour On A Boat From Panama To Colombia

By Harriet Porter


How about a three day nice and peaceful cruise through the tropical beaches as you travel on a boat from Panama to Colombia. And then get to take in the breath taking sites of the fortress city on Cartagena right after you pass through San Blas in Colombia on the two following days.

Scary stories used to about scary events at the Gringo trail are but old fables of the past. Your safety through this cruise of a lifetime is as guaranteed. So put all doubts aside and start planning for this all amazing trip.

Do not miss this chance to have the time of your life. Amazing sceneries await you along with exhilarating activities such as snorkeling, swimming, sun bathing and even skinny dipping with your drunk buddies. Also, get to enjoy and appreciate the amazing culture of the Kuna Islanders.

The trip price covers essentials such as water, food, departure fees and taxes. Transport costs will not be included in this. The captain takes care of all the immigration requirements, after which you will be set to go. Equipment such as snorkeling and fishing gear are provided in the vessel, but it is best to get your own gear before you set off. Also ensure that you carry enough money as there are no ATMs once you leave Panama City.

The daily meals on the boat will change from boat to boat and from one day to the next depending on the captain. Delicious fresh sea food will make for great delicacies for the 3 daily meals on the vessel. If you happen to be a vegetarian, no worries, just let the captain know a bit earlier and your needs will be met. Just to keep things fun, you can always carry some alcohol and some snacks.

There are many departure points are at the San Blas islands and most leave by themselves. These present a costlier option but they give you less time on the road and a lot more time on the boat. Since this trip is all about sailing, this is a great option. Just make sure to have your hotel arrange for a jeep to 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.
