Choose your perfect island adventure. Our full-day ECO 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. Our VIP TOUR (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM) via comfort speedboat features the same sightseeing stops and snorkeling session, but with three premium island stops at Islabela island (1.5 hrs), a private beach club (1.5 hrs) and an award-winning Island resort for lunch (1.5 hrs). 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 ONLY if you are carefree and want to party).

    Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica

    All 3 tours (VIP, ECO, & PARTY) will have a sightseeing stop from the boat at this fort on Tierra Bomba to take pictures and learn about its historical significance in regards to naval & pirate battles.

    Isla Baru

    The Party tour will have their first stop at a beach club in Baru or Grande Island. Baru is excluded from the other tours due to its crowded, vendor-heavy environment, which isn’t ideal for a family-friendly or premium experience. NOTE: Public islands like Cholon and Baru are unmaintained, loud, and crowded with vendors. Choose the Party option carefully.

Before the meal, the VIP & Eco tours will enjoy an exclusive 30-45 minute snorkeling experience at a nearby fish habitat.

    Islas de Rosario

    To conclude the day, VIP guests enjoy a premium finale at an award-winning island resort, following a day of bespoke service and travel via private speedboat. The Eco tour winds down at Rosario Island, offering a peaceful retreat with beach chairs and parasols. In contrast, the Party Tour ends at the high-energy Cholon Island; guests should note that this destination is famous for its lively, crowded floating festivals and may not suit those seeking a pristine or quiet environment.
