Real experiences from real travelers
Cholon was the highlight of our trip. The music was great and the vibe in the water is something you have to see to believe. Highly recommend booking the shared boat for the social aspect!
If you love a good party, this is it. The lobster lunch was surprisingly delicious for being served in the middle of the ocean. Just remember to bring lots of sunscreen!
We booked a private yacht for 10 friends and it was worth every penny. Our captain was professional and took us to some quieter snorkeling spots before hitting the Cholon party.
The crossover music was fantastic. We met people from all over the world. Our guide through Viator made everything so easy from the pier to the island.
Be prepared for loud music! It is a true party. The water is beautiful and clear. The port tax at the pier is extra, so bring cash.
Increible experiencia. Cholon is unique. Dancing in the water with a cold beer is the definition of a Caribbean vacation. 10/10 experience.
The boat ride through the Rosario Islands was stunning. Cholon itself is busy but the energy is infectious. The grilled fish was the best I had in Cartagena.
Everything was well organized. We felt safe throughout the boat journey despite the waves. A must-do when visiting Cartagena.
