Other things to note When planning a trip to Tubasenik in San Blas, it’s essential to consider a few key factors, especially if you’re arriving in your own or a rented vehicle. The Guna Yala mountain range is a protected area with steep and winding roads, so a 4x4 vehicle is mandatory to access the port. If you’re prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking medication, as the journey from Panama City to Barsukun port can be bumpy due to the road’s slopes and curves. It is mandatory to carry your original passports, as there is a checkpoint where you must present them and pay an eco-fee of USD 20.00 per person. A USD 15.00 toll is also required for your vehicle. Upon arrival at the port, you must pay a port tax of USD 2.00 per person and a parking fee of USD 5.00 for the duration of your stay. The boat ride to the island costs USD 40.00 per person round trip. Be sure to include these expenses in your travel budget to avoid any unpleasant surprises and ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience
