Wonderful Aviary and Beach - a must-do tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

We were taken (exactly on time as in the Whats App message) in a very large air-conditioned bus to the Aviary (about 1 hour 15 minutes south) with an English speaking guide, Sergio. Along the way, he explained about the Aviary and Playa Blanca. At the Aviary, Sergio accompanied us, explaining in English about the various birds. There are lots of signs with avian details but mostly in Spanish. The path is an easy walking path. Halfway along, there is a bathroom and refreshments booth. We spent like 2 hours there. Then the bus picked us up (exactly on time) and brought to the beach parking lot. We walked down steps and along the crowded beach to the Mambo beach club. It's got covered seats (plenty) to sit on. We were given a welcome lemonade. We chose 1 grilled chicken lunch and 1 fried fish lunch, each has a small salad an rice. The fish is fried whole with skin and bones but yummy. We had passion fruit Margheritas thst we paid for. The club has 2 changing rooms, and 2 toilets. Water for flushing is from a large barrel, from which you fill and take in a plastic can for your own use. The beach is truly white sand. Yes, there are boats coming and going but still enjoyable. Yes, there are vendors, but only 1 of them was aggressive. All the others are friendly and if you say no, they go away. The massage ladies work for the beach club. They can be paid via CC with the beverages. They keep asking about a massage but are also friendly and if you don't want a massage, just repeatedly say no. It wasn't unpleasant. Again, exactly at the time they said, we walked back to the bus. There was some traffic on the return. All in all, I would certainly do this again.

Enjoyable day!

The aviary was a really cool experience with some amazing birds to see closely. Very colorful macaws, condors, flamingos, parrots, etc. There was not time at the aviary to both see the bird show and also walk through the entire aviary. I chose to have a nice walk through the aviary and had a pleasant couple hours. The Mambo Beach Club was nice. A good lunch with many drink, and massage options.

Great time

The National Aviary is a must see when visiting Cartagena. Saw many different species of birds at the Aviary. The birds are so close that it felt interactive. Mambo Beach was just as amazing. Beautiful warm water, great atmosphere. Our tour guide was amazing. He made sure we understood every details of the trip. It was an amazing family experience, overall.

Bird extravaganza!

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a great price for a fun trip . The communication was great. They sent reminders the day before. The bus picked us up promptly at 9:45 . We had 2 hours in the Aviary . It was really amazing how many types of birds they have . Then a drive to to the beach club . The place was nice but crazy busy party beach . We enjoyed our nice shady spot . Service was really good, we had Andres. The only minus was the vendors. They come by a lot . The massage ladies were over the top and still touched me when I said no . But overall a really nice day .

Playa Blanca Excursion

Published on May, 2024

My husband and I booked this excursion while visiting Cartagena and had a wonderful time! The National Aviary was so much fun. There are thousands of cool birds, and we even were able to make the park's live show. The beach was nothing but blue waters and white sand beaches. It was gorgeous. The beach club was a short walk from the parking lot, which honestly wasn't bad at all. The staff at Mambo Beach Club was so kind and welcoming. Amor was our server and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. There were plenty of vendors on the beach, so bring pesos if you want to buy anything. They can be a little overwhelming at times but are very kind people with really cool stuff for sale (and this is how they support their families!). Juancho was our guide, and we truly appreciated him. He is bilingual, so communication was easy for us English speakers. He gave us all of the information we needed right up front, so we knew exactly how our day would be spent. He also prepared us for what to expect with vendors at the beach. Overall, we had such a memorable time and highly recommend!
