What to expect

Experience an unforgettable island hopping tour from Cartagena through the Rosario Islands. This full-day boat trip includes five unique stops blending culture, beach clubs, and scenic views. You'll have two sightseeing stops at a colonial fort and Pablo Escobar’s former mansion, then head to three lively beach clubs—including the iconic Cholon Island, known for its floating party scene. Bilingual guides lead the way, and your ticket includes all beach entries and lunch. A 29,000 COP port tax (cash only) is required at the pier. Keep in mind: Cholon is crowded and loud, ideal for party lovers. Boat rides can be rough—this tour is not suitable for infants, elderly travelers, pregnant guests, or those with limited mobility. Swimwear is mandatory. No hotel pickup is provided. If you’re looking for a high-energy mix of Cartagena’s beach culture and coastal fun, this tour is a must.
