THE DRY SEASON DECEMBER – APRIL
The Vibe
Constant sunshine, clear blue skies, and a vibrant social atmosphere. This is the High Season of San Blas.

SEASON OF CALM MAY – NOVEMBER
The Mirror Effect
Winds die down, leaving the water glassy and calm. Perfect for those worried about seasickness. The ocean becomes a giant pool.
Maximum Visibility
Without wind to agitate the water, snorkeling visibility is at its peak. Best time to see deep reefs and vibrant starfish.
The Rainfall Myth
Rain comes in short, intense bursts in the late afternoon. Privacy is at its maximum; popular spots become your private island.
