The 12 Best Nightlife Experiences in Cartagena

1.Full day visiting 5 stops 3 Beach Clubs (Rosario, Baru,T Bomba)

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 433 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

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 two-hour party boat, including bay views, rum drinks, nightclub entry, meeting point, value, and practical warnings.

“I do not recommend getting this. We showed up at the specified time and place only to be turned away by port authority. I tried reaching out to the organizer multiple times but did not receive any communication until after I contacted Viator for help. By that time they were telling me to show up for a later time, but unfortunatelly we already had reservations elsewhere.”
