Top Cartagena Day Trips

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.

Really exciting. Got there a half hour early. And met our Tour Guide Jamie. Fantastic and polite young man. Who spoke good English. Had breakfast and lunch. Very good menu . Long day we'll worth it. The speed boat were very fast. So be prepared. Left on time and returned on time. Jamie really out did him self. Thanks again Viator. Great choice.

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.

Lots of fun. Eddie was wonderful! Great course, can be somewhat challenging for new riders but safe and not bad--there were multiple guides with us to keep pace with everyone in the group, whether you wanted to ride fast or slow and there was also security with us as well for extra safety. Rode through woods and the beach...lovely views...multiple points to stop and take pictures and get off ATVs to stretch. Lunch was okay. Options to upgrade to lobster, shrimp, crab. About a 30 min ride to ATV location from pick-up point. Must do while in Cartagena!

We had a great time experiencing the Lodo Volcano Mud Bath in just outside Cartagena! It is such a unique experience! We weren't sure if we would like it, but decided to try it because it was so out of the ordinary and I'm glad we did! Gilberto, our driver was so nice, and very informative on the hour plus drive there and back about different sites, and things taking place in and around Cartagena, and took really good care of us the entire time! Once we arrived at the mud volcano, he introduced us to the staff that would be taking care of us. They were instrumental in helping us in and out of the mud bath, making sure we were safe ascending and defending the volcano, and helping to wash the mud off of us down in the lagoon/lake. We even chose the option to have a massage inside the mud bath, and that was awesome! The guys did such a great job! Then after we were cleaned up and had changed clothes, we had a snack with tasty homemade beef and chicken empanadas and soft drink! It was a top notch experience from start to finish and I highly recommend you try this unique experience!

Miguel was a great tour guide! They are very considerate and helpful. It is very fun, be ready for a bit of rough boat ride due to winds but it honestly is not bad and completely worth it. If you sit up front you feel more bumps, if you're in the back you feel more of the splashes. The spacing of stops was perfect and we loved talking with Miguel between each stop. We didn't experience any overbearing vendors, they may ask you once but its not nearly as bad as others made it seem in reviews. Everyone is very kind and helpful, if you do decide to get a drink from the vendors they will treat you as a long time friend.

This is an extremely diverse tour with many different things to see. It is a very. long trip, so please be prepared for a 10-12 hour day. Having said that, it is very relaxing as you are just in the bus with several small stops. Not a ton of history, but just fun stops. It is a great break from the city if you want a break from the sun, beach, and Old City. If you only have 2-3 days in Cartagena, this may not be a priority, though we had 10 days so it was welcomed. We were the only English speaking people on our tour, and our guide, Jhon Fredyz, took extreme care of the others, as well as us, to make sure we understood everything. Thank you Jhon, for being such a great tour guide!

Wonderful Tour. They told me to be ready at 4:20 am and they showed up at 5:20 am. I was bother by the punctuality of it but the program itself was very nice. Be ready for a long hot day! The staff was nice and efficient. The food was good and the hotel they took us at the end to refresh at the pool.
