Real experiences from real travelers
Booking the 9-hour private boat was the highlight of our trip. The Rosario Islands are breathtaking and having our own boat meant we could avoid the tourist traps. Our captain, Jorge, was amazing!
Alquilamos un bote para 10 amigos y fuimos a Cholón. El ambiente es increíble y el servicio fue impecable. Recomiendo reservar con antelación.
The sunset tour of the bay was so romantic. The skyline views are 10/10. The boat was clean and the staff were very professional.
We loved snorkeling in the Rosario Islands. The water is so clear! Just remember to bring plenty of sunscreen and cash for lunch on the islands.
Vale muito a pena o valor privativo se você estiver em um grupo de 4 ou mais. Privacidade total e roteiro do nosso jeito.
Easy booking through the platform. The boat was exactly like the pictures. We spent the day at a private beach club in Baru which was heaven.
The speedboat was fast and very well maintained. The crew knew all the best spots to avoid the wind and find the calmest water for swimming.
The kids loved seeing the fish. The crew was very patient and helpful with the snorkeling gear. A must-do in Cartagena.
