Isla Tierra BombaPass-by Only
All of the three tours—Snorkel, Leisure, and Party—include a sightseeing stop at the historic Bocachica Fort on Tierra Bomba Island for photos and a brief history of its cultural significance to Cartagena.
Isla Baru
The Party Tour begins with a lively stop at a beach club on Baru Island—an energetic spot known for its crowds and vendors. For that reason, Baru is not included in the Snorkel or Lesiure tours, as it's less suited for those seeking a calmer, more family-friendly island experience.
Islas de Rosario
Here, the Snorkel and Leisure tours make their first stop at a private island resort with crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. Guests can unwind on provided beach beds and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere before continuing the day’s adventure.
