Escape to the picturesque paradise of the Rosario Islands on a delightful day-trip from Cartagena. Experience the idyllic splendor of the iridescent water and silken sands as you cruise to the alluring archipelago. Plunge into the crystal clear Caribbean waters; recline in the shade of a palm tree on a blissful beach.

A totally private experience in a comfortable and fast 41' boat, where you can get to know the Rosario Islands, its islets, corals and reefs, the best beach clubs on the coast and the musical environment of your choice in Cholon. The Morronga will be rebuilt in 2024 with luxury finishes, teak floors like few boats in Cartagena, leather seats and a professional JL sound system.

The Rosario Islands have no shortage of day trip options — but most of them land you on an overcrowded beach with a plastic chair and a set menu. Isla del Sol is a different proposition entirely. This is a natural island inside one of Colombia's most protected marine parks, where mangroves, coral reefs, and a saltwater pool coexist with genuine hospitality and a kitchen that takes its six-option lunch seriously. The welcome cocktail, the beachfront spa, the snorkeling in actual reef ecosystems, and the mangrove tour give the day a depth that goes well beyond sunbathing — though there's plenty of room for that too. Two packages let you choose your pace: the Regular Day Pass covers everything you need for a perfect beach day, while the Open Bar package adds four hours of drinks so the only decision you have to make is which cocktail comes next. One hour from Cartagena by speedboat. A full day of Caribbean at its most natural.
