This full-day island hopping tour from Cartagena offers two options to suit different travel styles: the Snorkel Tour (Family-Friendly) and the Party Tour (Adults Only). Both include a boat journey through the Rosario Islands with several points of interest. The Snorkel Tour is ideal for families and those seeking a calmer experience. It has two sightseeing stops at a colonial fort and Pablo Escobar's mansion, followed by snorkeling at a nearby fish habitat, and a total of three island visits including the lunch stop. The Party Tour, on the other hand, is designed for social travelers. It includes the same two sightseeing stops, a beach club stop at Baru, another unique island stop for lunch, and the famous Cholon Island — though crowded, unmaintained, and loud (DISCLAIMER). Both options include bilingual guides, beach bed access, and lunch, making this one of the most versatile and value-packed tours in Cartagena.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)

Itinerary

Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica
Pass-by Only

Both tours will enjoy this sightseeing stop to appreciate the fort and learn about its historical significance.

Isla Baru

The Party tour (adults only) will arrive first at Baru for their first beach club visit. We’ve chosen to exclude the Baru stop from the Snorkel tour (family-friendly) itinerary due to the high number of vendors and the crowded environment, which may not be ideal for a more relaxed or family-oriented experience.

Isla Marina

At this island, the Snorkel Tour makes its first stop at an exclusive resort with crystal-clear waters and included beach beds for relaxing.
