Description
We are an adventure tour company running 4 day island hopping tours with fast lanchas (speedboats) in the San Blas islands, taking guests one way from Panama to Colombia or from Colombia to Panama. We are looking for the next true adventurer to join us! Our team is made up of an international group of people who all share the same passions of the San Blas islands, the Guna culture, and sharing what we have found with other travelers from around the world.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We work with and are hosted by the indigenous Guna, and supporting them ethically and sustainably is important to us. They are autonomous to Panama, and we are extremely privileged to enjoy close relationships with locals throughout the archipelago. This gives us an unparalleled opportunity to learn from this indigenous culture, before we are able to pass on all we have learnt to the guests who travel with us between the continents!
Help
Looking for open-minded adventurous people to volunteer for us. The San Blas islands are some of the most beautiful and remote islands in the world. They are located along the Caribbean coast of Panama and are inhabited by the indigenous Guna people. We offer the opportunity to fully submerge yourself with this magical culture and these breathtaking islands to get a truly unique experience.
Our purpose is to share our accumulated knowledge and experience of these islands with travelers from all around the world. After many years operating in San Blas, we have developed very close relationships with the local indigenous community, the Guna. Being able to share this experience with you, and share you with them, is an integral part of our trip and what really sets us apart.
What we are looking for in our Volunteers :
Responsible individuals with an outgoing personality, and an interest to learn about different people and cultures. We expect you to get involved socially with other guides and guests, help with all aspects of the trip, and be able to give an initial minimum commitment of 6 weeks.
Joining the team also provides the opportunity to grow and advance to a tour leader position after receiving the proper training. If you want to extend your experience, you can progress within the company.
Responsibilities include: Help with shopping and trip preparation, Attend pre-trip meeting, help the lead guides and assistants in the different activities they have to deal with during the trip, giving information to guests, loading and unloading boat, cleanning equipment (snorkels, dishes, boxes etc) after trip between trips!
