Elevair’s San Blas helicopter day trip lets guests reach the San Blas Islands from Panama City by private helicopter, avoiding long road transfers and boat connections. The experience gives travelers an aerial view of Caribbean islands, reefs, coastline, and remote island scenery in a single-day journey.
Most visitors reach San Blas by road and boat. A pre-dawn departure with a long and often uncomfortable journey before the island experience even begins.
The result is a San Blas day trip that is seamless, private, and memorable.
By helicopter, the transfer becomes part of the experience: coastline, jungle, reefs and islands unfolding below before you arrive.
A Different Way to Reach San Blas

The Journey Becomes the Experience
Depart Panama City’s Albrook Airport and watch the landscape below change Panama Canal to rainforest to Caribbean coastline before the islands appear below. The helicopter journey transforms the transfer into one of the most memorable parts of the day.

Remote Islands, Without the Long Road
San Blas is beautiful, but reaching it by road and boat can be demanding. Flying allows you to preserve your time and energy for the islands themselves.

Barefoot Caribbean Simplicity
Spend the day surrounded by clear water, white sand, palm-fringed islands, and the quiet rhythm of the world renown San Blas Archipego.
