Top Cartagena Day Trips

It’s a super beautiful experience, I went there with my boyfriend and the guides are well organized, lunch is included and they even have a vegetarian option. The beaches are all private which makes the whole thing even more pleasant. Thanks Antonio and Abel!!

We had an incredible tour of San Basilio de Palenque with Romeo, who was a fantastic guide! He and the local community welcomed us with open arms, everyone was super friendly (amable) and made us feel completely safe and right at home throughout the entire visit. The tour is available in both English and Spanish, making it easy and engaging for everyone. A major highlight was the food, we had the most amazing fish stewed in coconut milk! Beyond the history and culture, it was also a great opportunity to connect with interesting people along the way. I highly encourage both national and international travelers to book this tour. It’s not only a rich cultural experience, but also a meaningful way to directly support the local community. Don't miss it when visiting Colombia!

I had the most exceptional day. Between Kevin, Sammy, Annie, GiGi & also our captain Antonio, the entire team was vibrant, warm and welcoming, and such good vibes. My birthday was the next day and they made it a point to make me feel special and everyone else who was celebrating our birthday. They were checking in on us making sure we were enjoying ourselves. We were safe. 10/10 does not cut it !!!! They need 10000000/10 We were the turn up group at the island and that is because of the entire team. They were so informative and kind. I had the most amazing day to bring in my birthday. BOOK THIS NOW YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Overall, this was a really enjoyable and worthwhile experience. We visited three islands—Islabela, Pao Pao, and Bora Bora—and I thought the amount of time spent at each was just right for this type of tour. Each stop gave us enough time to relax on comfortable beach chairs under the umbrellas and enjoy the beautiful, clear, warm ocean. Lunch was also included, and I chose the chicken, which was very good. My only criticism would be the boat ride. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the islands and another 45 minutes back, and the ride can be extremely rough. We sat toward the front, and the boat repeatedly slammed against the water because of the speed. If you have any back problems, I would definitely avoid sitting in the front, although others mentioned that the middle and back could still be pretty rough. Despite the uncomfortable boat ride, I thought the overall experience was well worth the price. You get to visit three beautiful islands, enjoy the water, relax, and have lunch included. I would recommend it, just be prepared for a bumpy ride!

As someone who grew up riding ATV and other recreational vehicles, I’ve never been much of a fan of ATV tours. They’ve always been underwhelming and over managed. This experience was perfect! Very beautiful views of course, knowledgeable guides and staff, and just the right amount of guidance - adaptable for rider skill levels.

We had a great time, Jaime and Jesus were super attentive and fun. They looked after us throughout the day and we felt quite safe and comfortable at all times. Honestly, I will do it again when I return to Cartagena. The food was very delicious and they also gave us water and sports drinks throughout the day.

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.

The boat is beautiful. I believe we were lucky that few people went up to our reservoir; besides my family and me (4 people), only another family of 4, two couples, and a single guy went up. This allowed us to do many activities such as raising the sails and participating in the pirate ship battle. It is all-you-can-drink, and it is totally worth it; the drinks are very good and strong, but that is what one looks for in an all-you-can-drink. I loved the music, all the decorations, and they also lend you pirate hats and plastic swords for taking photos. The crew is not only perfect for setting the party atmosphere, but they are also excellent for taking photos; they helped us take incredible pictures that we will keep as memories. The service was very pleasant; one would expect that because it is all-you-can-drink, they would take a long time to bring or serve the drinks, but quite the opposite; even before you finish your drink, they offer you another one, and I loved that. We had a cloudy day, but even so, the views of the coast and the city are beautiful; the navigation does not feel turbulent, and it is an excellent plan to party in a relaxed way with family. Totally recommended.
