Activity itinerary

Isla Tierra Bomba (Pass by)
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
  • 1h 30m
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
  • 1h 30m
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.
Isla Marina (Pass by)
All three tours will cruise past Pablo Escobar’s former island mansion—a unique sightseeing highlight that adds a touch of history and intrigue to the Rosario Islands.
Islas de Rosario
  • 1h 30m
All three tours will continue to a separate island for lunch and downtime. Guests can relax on beach beds under parasols, swim, or take in the views. Lunch is included, with fish, chicken, or vegetarian dishes selected on-site. Before the meal, the Snorkel Tour includes a 45 minute snorkel session at local marine habitat.
Islas de Rosario
  • 1h 30m
For the final stop, the Snorkel and Leisure tours end at Islabela Beach Club, featuring beach chairs, parasols, and optional dance classes for a cultural touch. The Party Tour concludes at Cholón Island, known for its lively floating party atmosphere—please note it can be crowded, loud, and not always well-maintained. IMPORTANT: This is not a tour of five separate islands. Due to time constraints, we highlight five key points, three of which allow for on-site visits and exploration.
