Is Sea San Blas a Guna-Owned or Family-Owned Business?

Yes — Sea San Blas is 100% owned and operated by Guna and Panamanian locals.

We’re proud to be a locally rooted business that works directly with Guna families, boat captains, and island hosts throughout the Guna Yala region. Our team is made up of people who were born in these communities or have deep connections to the culture and territory.

When you book with Sea San Blas, you’re not supporting a foreign-owned operator — you’re helping sustain local livelihoods and strengthen Indigenous tourism in a respectful, collaborative way.

We prioritize:

• Direct partnerships with Guna island owners
• Employment of local guides, drivers, and cooks
• Cultural authenticity, environmental respect, and fair tourism practices
