Overview

This tour listing offers ultimate flexibility to craft your perfect Cartagena island escape. Choose from these options:

SNORKEL TOUR (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM): Enjoy sightseeing at the historic Bocachica Fort and Pablo Escobar’s former estate. Includes three dedicated stops (1.5 hours each) at Marina Island, Grande Island (featuring snorkeling and lunch), and Rosario Island. Choose the LEISURE option to skip snorkeling.

PARTY TOUR (8:30 AM – 4:00 PM): Includes the same sightseeing stops but swaps relaxation for excitement with 1.5-hour visits to Baru Island, Grande Island (for lunch), and the famously loud and crowded party hub, Cholon Island. (Note: Select this option carefully and avoid if you prefer a quieter day.)

VIP TOUR (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM): Travel via a comfort speedboat for an exclusive experience. Includes the same sightseeing stops followed by three premium stops (1.5 hours each): a visit to Islabela, a private beach club (for lunch), and time at an award-winning island resort.

Activity itinerary

Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica

All four tour options (VIP, Snorkel, Leisure, & Party) include a dedicated sightseeing stop near Tierra Bomba Island to view the historic Bocachica Fort. Take photos and learn about the fort's colonial significance right from the boat!

Isla Baru

1h 30m

The Party Tour begins with its first stop at a lively beach club on either BarU or Grande Island. Please note that Baru Island is specifically reserved for this high-energy option, as its characteristic crowded, vendor-heavy atmosphere is purposefully excluded from our family-friendly, premium, and snorkeling tours.

Isla Grande

1h 30m

For the Snorkel & Leisure Tours, the first island stop provides access to clear waters and beach beds. The VIP Tour follows its sightseeing stops with its first premium destination: the Islabela Beach Club.

Isla Marina (Pass by)

All tours will then include a unique sightseeing stop for photos, cruising past the former island mansion of Pablo Escobar. This visual highlight adds an intriguing layer of history to your Rosario Islands experience.

Islas de Rosario

1h 30m

All tours then head to a dedicated island for included lunch and relaxation, where guests across all options can unwind on beach beds under parasols, swim, or enjoy the scenery; lunch features on-site choices including fish, chicken, or vegetarian options. Crucially, VIP guests enjoy this experience with exclusive access to a private island beach club situated on a separate point of the island. Additionally, before the meal, the Snorkel Tour participants receive a special perk: a dedicated 30-45 minute snorkeling experience conducted at a nearby fish habitat.

Islas de Rosario

1h 30m

All tours conclude by late afternoon before returning to the same departure port. The Snorkel and Leisure Tours finish their day relaxing at Rosario Island, providing beach chairs and parasols for final enjoyment. In contrast, the Party Tour concludes at Cholon Island, known for its lively floating party atmosphere; guests should choose carefully as this destination is typically crowded, loud, and unmaintained. Finally, VIP guests enjoy a premium finish, spending their last stop at an award-winning island resort after a day of personalized attention and exclusive travel aboard a comfortable speedboat.
