3.Rosario Islands Day Tour with Snorkel & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 402 reviews · 8 hours · from $95

Review of Cartagena’s Rosario Islands day tour, with snorkeling, beaches, lunch, speedboat logistics, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Our tour guide was Franklin, he was amazing; spoke Spanish and English and was very helpful. On this experience you stop on 3 islands. #1 is for snorkeling. If you don’t snorkel you can wait on the island beach shore. #2 is Cholon, the party island. For the group, we had a hut in water with table, we ordered drinks here and had a good time. And finally, #3 Baru island, my personal favorite. We had lunch here and then spent the remainder of our free time out on the beach. The sand and water here felt so good. I would go back to Baru island specifically.”

4.Full Day Barú island: Mangrove +Snorkel + Sunset + Plankton

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 139 reviews · 11 hours · from $69Best value

Review of Barú’s 11-hour mangrove, snorkeling, sunset, and bioluminescent plankton tour from Cartagena, including value, tips, and drawbacks.

“Fatal! Estafaaaaa total. Nos lanzaron en el peor punto de la playa 7 horas sin explicarnos nada (freedom spot ) sucio, mal trato de los encargados ( Maria, Luis, Adriana) lo único que valia la pena fueron los mapaches y nos dejaron 10 min solamente. Y en la noche al momento del Plancton llenaron las embarcaciones de personas a reventar, no cumplen con ninguna medida de seguridad. TODO FUE MALO! UN ROBO ….”
