Cartagena Urban Party to Cholón – 5 Stops with Kevin and His Team This excursion was an amazing experience and definitely a must-do. For the price, guidance, and protection we received from beginning to end, it was completely worth it. Kevin and his team were extremely helpful throughout the entire trip. What I appreciated most was how they warned us about scams, overcharging, and what prices we should expect to pay. Everything on the islands is very expensive. When paying by card, many places charge an additional 10% transaction fee. I have traveled to many countries, and I found the fees and prices on these islands to be extremely high. Even Bora Bora was not as expensive as some of these places. The first beach stop was not our favorite because the water did not look very inviting for swimming. However, the second beach was beautiful. The water was clear, there were nice waves, the area was clean, and the atmosphere was much more our speed. The Cholón party area is definitely better suited for people in their 20s and 30s. It was extremely crowded, with what looked like at least 20 boats full of people. It was still a great experience to see, but it was not really our type of environment. That is only our personal perspective, and a younger crowd would probably have an amazing time there. One moment that really stood out was when I tried to pay for a beer and the vendor was not honoring the price we had been told. Kevin immediately stepped in, spoke to the vendor, and made sure we paid the correct amount. That meant a lot to me. Kevin and his team looked out for us during the entire excursion, and their service made this one of the best experiences of all the tours we took. I highly recommend this trip. We loved Kevin and his entire team! One important warning: anyone who has recently had surgery or has back problems should think carefully before taking this excursion. The boat ride back was extremely bumpy because of the waves—it felt like a roller coaster. Also, if you sit in the back of the boat, be prepared to get completely wet!

This excursion was a lot of fun! Be prepared to get dirty! Wear clothes and sneakers you don’t mind getting dirty or wet. Also, bring something to cover your head and face. I had two bandannas which worked out perfectly. I was wearing sun glasses but would also recommend Google because it’s a lot of dirty. The lunch was amazing!!! If you want the seafood option, bring 130,000 Colombian pesos ($40 US Dollars). The lunch provided was good but the seafood option was even better! The beach views were amazing as well.

This was such an amazing experience to book! We had a GREAT time with everyone we encountered! They all were so nice and professional! From Romero our guide to our driver Gustavo, including everyone else in between! 10/10! The laughs were nonstop! I loved it all!
