Private Boat Trip
Excellent trip. We were able to customize the trip to our liking and had a really friendly crew. José and Fernando were great.

Due to circumstances...
Due to circumstances outside of the tour operators control we were unable to make the tour. However, thank you very much for the five star customer service

The boat tour was...
The boat tour was incredible. It was 2 couples so we were looking for a laid back experience. They took us to a quiet area for swimming and a private beach. We chose to skip cholon and went to the lunch spot. It was a little pricey for lunch, but the tour was great. Highly recommend

Wonderful Day!
This boat tour was amazing! Our guide, Geuseppe was engaging and personable and ran things smoothly. The boat was clean and comfortable and the stops were each memorable in their own way. I was with my husband and 18 year old son. I probably wouldn’t recommend it for younger children, though.

Great experience!
we had such a fantastic experience on this tour and it was all thanks to our tour guide Charlie! Not only was he focused on providing a culturally immersive tour, he was focused on the safety of his guests and ensured that everyone had a wonderful experience. If you can, book this tour and request Charlie for the best experience possible!

Dangerous but was worth going
The best part was to see the bioluminescente plancton after an amazing sunset at the beach. The negative part was that they plan only one stop for snorkeling and they DID NOT tell us that the current was REALLY STRONG. Safety first!

Let's make a movie
Yes it was good to get out on the water and venture to different islands on a fast boat. It felt like we were in our own movie

Diving with Diving Planet
I had a really great time. The people, both guests and guides, were great. Everything went smoothly and our food was tasty! Andres helped me find my group at the beginning amoungst the chaos, and my dive guide - I don’t know how to spell his name - Fidor (?) was help, kind and awesome. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

Boating to the islands with my husband and teen girls
The team at Baru private boat rentals, led by our captains Kevin and Manuel, were super. We were looking for a tranquil experience and even on a busy Saturday, they found quiet places along the Rosario Islands and Baru for us to swim and snorkel and relax. It helps to speak some Spanish most certainly. My Louisiana fisherman husband knows boats and we marveled at how they navigated the rough waters upon our return from the islands for the World Cup semifinal. What a lovely duo! Mil gracias to Kevin and Manuel!

A mix of culture & fun mixed in One
Milton and crew were AWESOME host. We went on the tour on September 21, 2024. He guided us throughout tour, provided us with insights of the culture and history. We visited all 5 islands and I recommend if you go ask for Milton as tour guide... the tour will take up the entire day...

How to get there
When to visit

Be sure to take everything you need, as there are few shops on the islands. Sunscreen, a swimsuit, and a sunhat are essentials.
Consider packing water shoes; the beaches are rocky, and there is a lot of coral in the water.
If you get sea sick easily, take motion sickness pills or reconsider as this part of the Caribbean is famous for its rough seas.
Bring cash if you want to purchase food or drinks from beach kiosks—many do not accept credit cards.
Wi-Fi can be scarce on the islands, but some resorts offer paid or free access.
Many passenger ferries and private boats to the Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario) are wheelchair accessible, but it’s best to check with the operator in advance.
