About Diablo Island in San Blas

***Diablo Island has changed administration and this article is not accurate anymore*** 

Beautiful for the braves






There are many "Cabanas" in San Blas, but we recommend you one Island Isla Del Diablo which is owned by our Kuna friend. It is in front of Isla del Perro (Dog Island). It is a great place for snorkeling, as there is a nice reef and a shipwreck. The island is situated at 45 minutes from the San Blas dock.

The Kunas have their own legend story about Isla Diablo. The island was named Isla Diablo because there is a friendly devil called William walking around this island at night… If you want to know the entire story you must stay there and at night, our Kuna friends will start a bonfire and tell you a bit more about William.

This island is beautiful and make you forget about everything, the water is calm and crystal clear, the beach is pristine white and the snorkeling is very good. The rich sea life and reef around the islands is very good for snorkeling and if you are a good swimmer, you can swim to the famous shipwreck in front of Isla Perro.

Julie and Dale Quebec City commented: Isla Diablo is charming! This island is fabulous and the people who live there too! Seriously, this was one of the best experiences of our lives. We talk to all our friends in Quebec and the famous San Blas our story the dream!

We lived there for 2 days and this is a perfect paradise to relax, contemplate the sun, sand, and water. Residents are friendly and the food is good. However, do not miss the meal, there is no second service!

In the evening, it is possible to make a fire on the beach with tourists from around the world. Also, I suggest you swim to Dog Island to the "snorkeling" because many tropical fish there.

One of the most beautiful experience of our lives! Julie and Dale Quebec City.

We loved our experience touring around Guna Yala for two weeks using our inflatable kayak and SUP, and camping on a different island every night. Despite terrible headwinds and a rough sea the entire time (avoid december/January period) what a magical place it was, and such amazing and welcoming people. We will never forget our experience.

Thanks Michael for all the useful info and help!
