Overview

This is the most flexible and value-packed way to experience the Rosario Islands, giving you four incredible ways to play! Whether you're chasing the wildest beach party scene at Cholon or need the most affordable escape with a Barú or Tierra Bomba Island beach club day pass, we've got your vibe covered. Choose to upgrade to the popular 3-stop boat tour hitting the best party stops, or go all out with our 5-stop mega-tour that adds a sighting of Pablo Escobar’s mansion and a delicious lunch. We make sure your day is packed with coastal fun and high energy! Just remember to pack your swimwear—it’s mandatory—and note that not all tours include lunch, so be prepared to purchase food directly from the beach clubs on based on your ticket - you cannot bring food items on board. Also, if your ticket involves sea travel, you will be responsible for the mandatory port tax. Lastly, keep in mind that some islands are public and will have local vendors present.

Please note that Cholon is crowded and loud, ideal for party lovers, and boat rides can be rough—party tours are not suitable for infants, elderly travelers, pregnant guests, or those with limited mobility.
