Colombia · TAYRONA PARK TOURS
Tayrona is a walk-in national park with beaches at the end of a forest path, and there is a boat option that skips most of it. These 11 tours cover both, with entry fees, walking times and what each includes.
Sail from Santa Marta to Bahía Concha with lunch, snorkeling, paddleboards, and a friendly bilingual crew for $70.
“The crew was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The boat left at 11am, you get about 3 hours of actual time at the beach/Tayrona park. Then the boat leaves at 3:15 and takes you back to the marina. It's a sail boat but they motored the whole way.”
Review of Santa Marta’s Tayrona sailing day tour, with Bahia Concha, lunch, snorkeling, SUPs, rough seas, costs, and practical tips.
“It's very easy to find the meeting point if you follow the instructions WhatsApped to you in the morning. The crew were all lovely, they didn't speak English so it's good to have some basic Spanish to get by or hope there are others that can help but it didn't hinder anything. The ride over was very bumpy so if you to get motion/sea sick it would be wise to take something but it was less so on the way back and again it didn't dampen the experience for me at all. The beach was lovely , we had our little spot and it wasn't busy at all. There were…”
Review of the Santa Marta to Tayrona tour, with a forest hike, Cabo San Juan beach, practical costs, transport tips, and honest drawbacks.
“O local em si é incrível, visitar o parque Tayrona definitivamente é uma obrigação para todos que vierem a Santa Marta. Praias sensacionais, uma biodiversidade única e, apesar de um pouco desafiador, uma ótima trilha ecológica. Entretanto, o serviço em si não foi dos melhores. O ônibus era muito pequeno e estava com todos os assentos ocupados. Pessoas um pouco maiores (como meu caso e de vários outros passageiros) estavam totalmente espremidos entre os bancos, sem nenhum espaço pras pernas e colado no passageiro ao lado. O grupo contava com 2 guias. O guia que nos acompanhou desde o começo (Luiz) não era dos melhores comunicadores, frequentemente nos deixando meio…”
Review of Santa Marta’s $60 Tayrona Bay sailboat trip, with beach time at Bahia Concha, lunch, water sports, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“This experience was AMAZING! The crew and Javier were so wonderful! Great attitudes, helpful with our grandparents that needed assistance, and fun! We anchored at Bahia Concha and the water and weather was perfect. Loved having access to a kayak and paddle board! The beach was great with ability to order cocktails. I was so impressed with the lunch, it was delicious! Overall, highly recommend! Everyone was happy and had a great time”
Review of Tayrona Park Hike and Beach Day from Santa Marta, with trail details, beach stops, guide value, costs, fitness advice, and tips.
“Fantastic day in Tayrona with our guide who was kind, respectful and thoughtful about our experience. We also had a great driver to and from Santa Marta that was included in the experience. We probably could have figured out the trip on our own, but it was well worth the cost to have someone take care of us door to door.”
Sail from Santa Marta to Tayrona’s Bahia Concha with lunch, snacks, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and bilingual crew for $66.
“The crew was lovely and took good care of us. However, the tour didn't deliver and is quite expensive for what it is. Despite having booked an English tour with what was advertised as a bilingual crew, no one spoke any English and we did not understand any of the information given about the park or the day. So it was basically an expensive taxi to Concha beach. The beach is very full with boats who are blasting music despite it being a national park. We did some sailing back to Santa Marta, which was nice. In the end thay wanted to make us pay for some beers we hadn't…”
Review of Tayrona by Sea from Santa Marta, with three beaches, snorkeling, lunch, boat tips, costs, timing, and honest advice.
“Highly recommend this as a way to see Tayrona. We chose it as we didn't have time to do the hike in and out and we're so glad we did this tour. Being able to see 3 separate beaches and the views of Tayrona from the water is unbeatable. The guides and boat driver were fantastic, made sure we had all the drinks and snacks we needed, and drove us so smoothly thought the choppy Tayrona water so we always felt so safe. The beaches are out of this world, and there's a charm in embarking and disembarking the boat to each beach. The provided lunch was also delicious. Fully…”

Review of the private Cartagena to Tayrona Park transfer, including price, timing, vehicle, pickup details, guide fees, value, and booking tips.
“From orlando florida.. we were told that the island was private and that there were not many people, when we arrived there were no chairs as the hotel guests had the best places and chairs.. I do not recommend it if you want privacy.Auto-translated”
Review of a private Santa Marta airport transfer to Tayrona or Palomino, with flight tracking, air conditioning, bottled water, and flexible vehicles.
“They did exactly like we requested. Communicated well via email and was on time at both ends. The transfer to 4 wheeled drive to get to our lodge was as planned. Would certainly use again.”
