★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,729 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $88Our pick

Review of Cartagena’s Rosario Islands boat tour, with snorkeling, Cholón, Playa Blanca, fort history, costs, crowds, and safety tips.

“a long day of fun with franklin! if you're solely looking for a beach island party, be aware that the first stop is a walking tour of a historical landmark. my only complaint was that we didn't stay on each island long enough! each stop was 50-60min, but the boat ride was fun baru (last stop) was my favorite beach. bring some cash if you want to save some money, most places accept card/apple pay with an additional 15% service fee”

Review of Medellín’s Guatapé day tour with breakfast, lunch, boat ride, El Peñol, farm visit, village walks, and practical tips.

“This was a really solid tour. It was a great way to easily see all the attractions in Guatape without a lot of hassle. Everything was really well organized and it ran on time. I would say our guide was more of a chaperone than a guide as we didn't get a ton of information about the culture, geography and history we were driving through but you can't beat this tour for what you get.”

Review of Cartagena’s five-stop island tour, with snorkeling, three beach clubs, lunch credit, boat logistics, costs, and practical tips.

“The tour began with a significant delay. The bus scheduled to pick us up was an hour late. • During this delay, Mike provided inconsistent and unclear updates: first stating the bus was “on the way,” then that we were “waiting for another passenger,” and later that he was “checking on the bus.” • This lack of transparency and coordination created confusion and frustration right from the start. • Due to the late start, we missed the first scheduled stop before reaching the first island, which was disappointing. Promises Not Fulfilled: • Mike mentioned we would receive an extra drink as compensation for the delay, but this was never delivered.…”

Review of Cartagena’s El Totumo mud volcano tour, with practical advice on transport, tipping, changing, crowding, and overall value.

“I booked this tour because the activities included Mud Volcano, Pink sea and Indigena's town. However upon pick up we were advise there would only be Mud Volcano. We asked why isnt the pink sea or the nearby indigena town available. They said the season for the pink sea has passed. Okay understandable that we cannot control nature, but a town is always there. Despite the false advertisement, the tour guide Charlie was very nice. I couldnt stay mad at him, because he was just trying to do this job. Whoever that was managing the tour company should be ashamed of herself for misleading people to thinking they are partaking…”

Full Day Tour of Five Premium Islands in Cartagena

10.Full Day Tour of Five Premium Islands in Cartagena

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 337 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $110

Cartagena’s five-island boat tour brings snorkeling, Cholon, lunch, beaches, and optional glowing plankton, with useful cautions on timing and costs.

“Overall, this trip was pretty fun and a good opportunity to meet solo travelers who were all friendly; and our host Alex was as well. However, there were just a couple of cons that dampened the value of this trip for me. The snorkeling activity was completed without snorkels, making it pretty difficult to get a really good look since you had to get up for air every few seconds. Other reviews for this tour made the party island seem crazy and filled with music but the music was actually very quiet, there was no dancing, I was under the impression from other reviews you could bring your own alcohol…”

Review of Cartagena’s Rosario Islands boat tour, with snorkeling, beaches, lunch, Cholon, costs, safety tips, and honest advice.

“Franklin was our guide. I was nervous about get on and off the boat. Franklin personally saw to it that I was at ease getting on and off the boat. Franklin was a very good guide. Each island had something different and interesting to offer. It was a very good tour. All of the members of your staff were kind and helpful. However, I think that decisions about who was to be on which boat and the recording of lunch menu preferences could have been handled in a more timely and efficient manner. I enjoyed the tour.”
