Choose your perfect island adventure. Our full-day SNORKEL TOUR (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM) offers sightseeing at Bocachica Fort and Pablo Escobar’s estate, followed by three 1.5 hour stops at Marina Island, Grande Island (for snorkeling and lunch), and Rosario Island; select the LEISURE TOUR option to opt-out of snorkeling. For a more lively experience, the full-day PARTY TOUR (8:30 AM – 4:00 PM) includes the same sightseeing stops but features 1.5 hour stops at Baru Island, Grande Island (for lunch), and Cholon Island. (Please note: Cholon is famously loud, crowded, and overpriced; select this tour carefully.) Finally, our VIP TOUR (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM) via comfort speedboat features the same sightseeing stops, a snorkeling session, and three premium stops at Islabela (1.5 hrs), a private beach club (1.5 hrs) and an award-winning Island resort for lunch (1.5 hrs).
