What are people saying about Cartagena

Patterson_P, Jul 2026

Beautiful islands. Delicious Lunch. Strong drinks

Viator said the muelle fee was 34,500 COP and some dude with a fanny pack and a 3 Islas Polo charged us 41,500. Said something about taxes. The ride was short and sweet to all 3 Islands. The water was as beautiful as the pictures. The ride back on the boat was rough. DON'T SIT IN THE FRONT, LOL! The fresh fried fish was soo good. Coconut rice.....o.....m.....g!

Cartagena 5 Island Hop Tour: Lunch, Snorkel, Beach Clubs, & More

Vannea_D, Jul 2026

Great family friendly VIP tour to Rosario Islands.

We had a great experience on the VIP Rosario Island tour. Our tour guide, Juju, was friendly and organized and made sure everyone had a good time. The islands are worth visiting. The turquoise water is beautiful.. The snorkeling was good. I recommend swim shoes as the coral can be sharp. We were not harassed by many vendors as I've read from other reviews. The only downside was the boat ride going back home as you're traveling against the wind and it could be rough. If you are seated in the back of the boat, be prepared to get completely drenched by the waves. I recommend bringing a waterproof bag and goggles to protect your eyes from the saltwater. Overall, it was a great day and lots of fun, and good food. I would definitely recommend the VIP tour.

Kevin is the only tour you should ever book!!

Kevin is beyond great! His entire team is out here making the vibes phenomenal and we all felt safe. The music, the stops, everything was amazing. He has certain vendors he works with that are also great people. We had a semi private boat and even though we were only eight people, it was a party. Definitely recommending Kevin.

Fantastic day

What an amazing day learning about this amazing place and it's history. I would tell anyone that if time is short do this trip. It's also an opportunity to have your picture taken with the Palenquera women without the stress of haggling in the walled city. The lunch was amazing too. Thanks to Romero for a great day.

Miguel and his crew were welcoming, fun, and informative. They made us feel like we were at home. They played music while we were island hopping which made the experience even better, not to mention the beautiful scenery along the way.

Great experience CTG to Bocagrande

Great communication and reasonable pricing made this a wonderful experience! We received a message from Samaria Tours the day before our flight letting us know when and how they would be in touch. On our travel day, Gloria sent a highly detailed message confirming our reservation, providing our transportation coordinator’s name, and instructions of how to find her at the airport. Our friendly coordinator Yulieth welcomed us and waited with us for our driver to arrive. We felt very well taken care of and had no stress about getting to our hotel.

San Basilio de Palenque History Tour

Xiomara_L, Apr 2026

Best tour!

I will say that this tour was the highlight of our trip to Cartagena. It was authentic, engaging, and very informative. Our tour guide, Victor, was extremely knowledgeable and clearly very proud of his culture. It showed in the way he shared the historical facts, the town, the people, and their way of life. The tour was about six hours long, but it went by very quickly, even in the blazing heat. We were really happy that we booked a tour with an actual resident of the town who was so respected by everyone. It made us feel welcomed and almost like we were part of the community for the day. The food was amazing as well. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Cartagena who wants to learn more about the Afro-Colombian community there.

Half-Day Tour to Totumo Mud Volcano from Cartagena

Angeleah_M, Mar 2026

Perfect Unique Experience

This was the perfect bizarre/unique experience that my boyfriend and I were looking for. Our guide, Milton gave us good tips and explained how the process would work beforehand. After we got off the bus, we climbed a ladder and waited in a small line to get into the mud volcano. The volcano fits about 15 people. When you’re in the volcano, it feels like you are floating. At the top of the volcano, there are some kind locals who will take pics of you while you are in the volcano, give massages, and help you in and out. Then, you can get into a nearby lake and fully rinse off. Some other locals down there will help. After getting rinsed off, you can enjoy your arepa and drink before heading back. We had such a fun experience! Some Caveats: I probably would not take children under 14 because it may seem a bit overwhelming having random strangers touch them. Bring cash to tip the locals and to buy other food or drinks. This is how they make their living so be respectful. The steps getting up to the volcano are slippery and wide so be careful.

Cartagena's Rosario Islands 5-Site Boat Tour with Lunch & Snorkel

Tracey_Z, Feb 2026

Wonderful High-Speed Boat!

The boat ride (sitting in the front three rows) was a wonderful water rollercoaster experience. Empty your bladder before boarding is a good idea. Prepare $20 for port fee. The fried fish toward the end of tour (2pm) was nice. (Make sure that you have a good breakfast so that you can last until 2pm.) Bring your own water.

Cartagena, CO: Sunset Skyline Bay Tour on a Pirate Boat + Drinks

Zachary_J, Feb 2026

Fun pirate ship sunset cruise

This was a really fun sunset cruise experience. The directions to the boat were very clear. We actually had to reschedule last minute due to travel delays and they were super accommodating. The boat itself is very nice and the pirate costumes make it fun. The crew were very friendly and took great pictures and videos for our group.
