Amazing tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Everything was amazing even though the boat ride was a bit bumpy. Besides that, I totally recommend! Everyone was super nice and made it a fun trip!

Island Hopping with Mike

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an great time. Our guide Mike was simply amazing, He was so personable, very helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. Mike definitely made this experience worth it. The island hopping tour was exactly like the advertisements. I will advise that on the actual islands you pay close attention to your belongs, your surrounds, and your charges if you use a card especially if you do not speak fluent Spanish. Some of the locals can be extremely aggressive and persistent. And some of the guys seemed to be too touchy feely.

Do It!!

Published on Feb, 2025

Franklin, the captain, and the other nice guy were professional and made sure we got the best out of each island. They paid close attention to everyone to make sure we always got what we needed. They gave us shots and even let us be on the aux! We stopped at an historic fort/“small mouth”;Super informative for my history nerds&curious minds. Food at Cholon island was amazing, the drinks were nice as far as presentation…alcohol wise of course they may use a cheaper liquor or make it a bit weak so you can buy more. Baru beach was nice and the water was beautiful. Be prepared for the people who are selling hookah, massages, jet skis, banana boat, jewelry etc; they WILL continue to ask you to buy something the whole time. We were super tired and definitely feel like we got our moneys worth. The boat ride to Baru Beach island was a bit choppy so be prepared; bring your Dramamine. The food that was included was actually pretty good to our surprise. Great time, memories made would 10/10 recommend you get some of everything.

10/10 love Cesar

Published on Feb, 2025

Cesar was our guide! He’s an absolute legend! Had a hard time deciding whether to go on this boat or another party boat that was offered honestly this was the better decision. We never overstayed any location all the islands we’d beautiful our guides were knowledge able and made sure we were well taken care of. Definitely made for a 10/10 experience. Definitely make space for it on your visit to Cartegena!

A fantastic day trip

Published on Feb, 2025
