★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,011 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $67Our pick

Review of Cartagena’s 5-stop Rosario Islands boat tour, with forts, lunch, snorkeling, three ticket choices, costs, and practical advice.

“Miguel was a great tour guide! They are very considerate and helpful. It is very fun, be ready for a bit of rough boat ride due to winds but it honestly is not bad and completely worth it. If you sit up front you feel more bumps, if you're in the back you feel more of the splashes. The spacing of stops was perfect and we loved talking with Miguel between each stop. We didn't experience any overbearing vendors, they may ask you once but its not nearly as bad as others made it seem in reviews. Everyone is very kind and helpful, if you do decide to get a…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 569 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $106

Review of Cartagena’s Bona Vida catamaran to the Rosario Islands, with snorkeling, lunch, swimming, drinks, pricing, and practical tips.

“We departed almost on time from gate 3. The ride was really smooth! As soon as we left the port, we had watermelon juice and some snacks. Everything was good. Including the lunch as well. We ate as much as we wanted and had plenty. Snorkeling gear was great too. The second time we stopped was ok. It's not a great place to do snorkeling. But, as the tour was coming to an end, the waiters stopped being nice. No more smiles. They gave us attitude because we didn't ordered any alcohol. So we didn't left tip. 4 stars for that hiccup! Otherwise, I really recommend if you want a…”

5.5 Islands Tour from Cartagena Including Snorkeling and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 62 reviews · 8 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $100

Review of Cartagena’s 5 Islands Tour, with snorkeling, lunch, Cholon, Baru beach time, boat logistics, costs, and practical tips.

“We selected this operator specifically because they advertised and confirmed hotel pick-up at our hotel. The booking confirmation issued by Viator clearly listed our hotel by name as the pick-up location. This service was a deciding factor and was priced higher than comparable tours. Five minutes after the scheduled pick-up time, the operator messaged us instructing us to take an Uber to meet them downtown. We were explicitly told the Uber would be reimbursed. Once we were already en route, the operator reversed this commitment and refused reimbursement. As a result, we incurred approximately $50 in unnecessary transportation costs and were left waiting at a gas station in an industrial…”
