Great ride!

Our arrival and pickup at the airport was very smooth. Our driver, Edwin, contacted me via WhatsApp the day before to confirm my booking and provided me with details of the pickup. Edwin made sure I knew exactly how to navigate the airport and led me directly to the pickup spot where he was waiting. On the ride to my accommodations, Edwin gave a little tour of the city and offered recommendations for activities. I highly recommend this experience!

Full-Day Tour Isla Baru - National Aviary of Colombia and Playa Blanca

Hannah_S, Jun 2026

Enjoyed the birds and the beach

I wanted a bit of a beach experience but I was very excited for the aviary which was enjoyable. I did not have high expectations of the show but it was very enjoyable. 2 hours is more than enough time to sit and watch birds along the way. Time at the beach-I saw mixed reviews so I wasn’t sure what to expect but our food was good. As people said the dining space has shade and you can sit there if you want without extra cost. They have lockers to hold your belongings at a reasonable price which was nice. I think once we ate we had about 1.5 hours on our own time at beach which was perfect for what we wanted. Some people did extra things on the boats and if I had done a full day I would’ve taken advantage of it but this is exactly what we were looking for with the time we had. It was a bit confusing on the buses when leaving but our guide gave the number of the bus but we didn’t see it at first as it was parked very far away. They called names before driving away and made sure we were on the correct bus (which seems to be a good improvement from prior). Manuel “Mike” was a good and fun guide.

Half-Day Tour to Totumo Mud Volcano from Cartagena

Matthew_R, Apr 2026

Always enjoy going to the volcano

It was a beautiful day, and the people were extremely nice, they provided a nice lunch, and we went to a private beach. the volcano is extremely fun but understand you're not in there all day you get to go in there for 15 to 20 minutes and it's not that large but that's never bothered me the times I've gone the things that are frustrating there and it has nothing to do with the tour guide is that when you get in as people that want to massage you and then when you go to the Lagoon to wash off the ladies there are extremely rude if you don't want this services but just ignore that and enjoy the time it's a unique experience

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

Avni_R, Mar 2026

Perfect experience!

This was an excellent family experience! The crew kept checking in on us to refill our (delicious) drinks, and were helpful with our stroller. Our son was picked for the pirate fight, and the costumes/fireworks made it the highlight of his whole trip. The same boat also offered a day trip to Tierra Bomba, which was a perfect pace for our young children as compared to other jam-packed itineraries. The owners and crew were thoughtful in shortening/extending timelines based on our interest in each activity, and shared stories to increase our understanding of the area and its history. They even offered antinausea medication when my husband felt seasick. We enjoyed the stories, care, and companionship from the crew members on board, and would highly recommend both the sunset cruise and the day trip for families. They were the highlights of our time in Cartagena.
