Real experiences from real travelers
The VIP tour was worth every penny. Snorkeling at Isla Grande was breathtaking and the lunch was delicious. Highly recommend booking in advance!
The pirate ship sunset cruise was so much fun. Unlimited punch and a great view of the skyline. The staff were very energetic and made it a blast.
We rented a private boat for 8 people. It was the highlight of our trip. Cholon was a bit crowded but the private islands were peaceful.
Booking through the site was seamless. The boat was clean, the crew was professional, and we felt safe the entire time. Snorkeling gear was top notch.
I was worried about the crowds, but our guide took us to a quiet spot in the mangroves. Truly a magical side of Colombia you can't see from the city.
If you want to party, go to Cholon! The music was loud and the water was warm. Just bring plenty of sunblock!
The 2-hour sunset cruise is perfect if you don't have a whole day. The city looks incredible from the water as the lights come on.
Como local, siempre recomiendo estos tours a mis amigos. La organización es excelente y los barcos están en muy buen estado. Una experiencia de primera.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Most full-day island tours depart between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM from Muelle de la Bodeguita, while sunset cruises typically start around 5:00 PM.
Yes, many tours are family-friendly, though some 'party boats' to Cholon are better suited for adults. Speedboat rides can be bumpy, so catamarans are recommended for small children.
Yes, most tours departing from the main pier require a mandatory National Park tax (approx. $5-$10 USD) paid in cash, which is usually not included in the tour price.
Many full-day Rosario Island tours include a traditional Colombian lunch (fish, coconut rice, patacones), but sunset cruises usually only offer snacks and drinks. Check individual tour details.
Absolutely! Private rentals are very popular in Cartagena and allow you to customize your itinerary, music, and food for birthdays or bachelor/bachelorette parties.
Cholon is known as the 'Party Island' where boats anchor together in a shallow bay, play loud music, and people socialize in the water while eating seafood served directly to the boats.
Yes, most reputable snorkeling tours include masks and fins, but we recommend verifying this in the 'Included' section of the specific tour you book.
Tours usually proceed in light rain. If the Port Authority closes the harbor due to high winds or safety concerns, you will typically receive a full refund or a reschedule option.
Pack high-SPF biodegradable sunscreen, a hat, a towel, swimwear, and enough cash for island extras like massages, cocktails, or tips.
