1. Location. Most beach clubs send you 40 minutes away. Fénix is 15 minutes from Bodeguita Dock. You spend your day on the island, not on a boat. A real white sand private island, no vendors walking past your towel. Fénix controls its own access, its own vibe, its own crowd. 2. The view is unique. From your beach bed, Cartagena's iconic skyline sits across the water in front of you. That view exists nowhere else in the other islands. 3. Most clubs close at 6 PM. Fénix runs until 11 PM. Choose your arrival time: first boat from 9:30 AM - and your return - boats back from 4:30 PM all the way until 11:00 PM. Stay for lunch, sunset, dinner and the bonfire. One pass, one full day at your own pace. 4. Fénix works for everyone. Couples, groups, families — kids under 4 ride free, pets welcome up to 7kg. 5. The proof: 4.7 stars across TripAdvisor, Viator and GetYourGuide. Hundreds of verified reviews from travelers who came back and said worth every cent.

Street Food Tour in Cartagena

victoria_b, Aug 2026

Fab food tour, book it!

We had a great time on the food tour with Robert today! Totally recommend. We ate great food at spots we’d never have the courage to go to alone, and learnt tonnes about the city itself. Robert was a fab guide, really calm and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone arriving in Cartagena. Oh, and don’t eat any lunch! You won’t need it!

San Basilio de Palenque History Tour

Jessica_M, Aug 2026

Family Trip

The tour was memorable! Victor and his family were warm and welcoming! He was very informative and engaging for both adults and children. We learned so much about Palenque and its history. While it was very hot, we were able to sit and travel for portions of the tour on the air conditioned bus. The activities we engaged in during the tour were both exciting and inclusive. Highly recommend!

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

Nicolas_R, Aug 2026

Great experience!

The experience was really good. This was the first time in Cartagena for me and my 6 friends. Deli and the rest of the team treated us really well. They took us to a really private area where we were not annoyed by any vendors, which was something we didn’t want. They were also very accommodating with everything we needed. The lunch was really good and the snorkeling part was super fun. I’d highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re looking for a more relaxing experience.

Very fun but scary at...

Very fun but scary at times. If you have a faint stomach or not good with motion, then this may not be for you. But for the people who like thrill and love a good time it’s worth it. Also be strong enough to jump on & off the boat. Once u attempt to get on or off the boat it still moves so u have to be careful or u will be in the ocean.

Relaxing Island Experience

I loved that we got to have our own cabana at each stop on the different islands. It made the experience feel more comfortable and relaxing. One of the stops was especially nice because vendors weren’t allowed in the cabana area, so we could truly relax without being bothered. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Tour De Palenque, Road to Emancipation.

Desiree_V, Jul 2026

The tour company...

The tour company communicated with me on the morning of the tour and kept me posted on my pickup time. The trip to Palenque was smooth and our guide, Romeo, was knowledgeable and funny. We met local guides in Palenque who were also were kind with their time and sharing of information. The dance show with the kids was really cool and learning about the traditional medicine approaches. The food was delicious too. Overall, a great trip and worth supporting the local community!

Cartagena Jet Ski Adventure with Optional Drone Video

James_M, Jul 2026

First class experience

Jose and his team are a first class experience. Dont waste time and money with any other jet ski company in Cartagena. Jose is a local who owns the company. He’s honest, trustworthy, and fair. We met at the hotel and he had a employee escort us to the beach and jet skis. We were given a quick safety course before starting. Highly recommend for anyone looking to jet ski.

Cartagena ATV Tour

Jan_B, Jul 2026

One of the top experience in Columbia

Fantastic tour. You get a long trip in very varied landscape. Through smal towns, dust roads (remember sunglasses) and at the beach. 3 perfect stops. One with lunch where you can top up the experience with buying sea food from the local fishermen. All very good and you get to support the local society too. One of the top experience in Columbia

GREAT Colombia ATV Experience with Christopher

ONLY BOOK THIS ATV EXCURSION. If you were thinking about others, this is your sign to book this ATV experience with Christopher. It was my birthday trip and he made the experience a great time. He’s helpful, charismatic, and ensures you have a great time while also being safe. As for the start of the excursion, You’ll meet on the beach behind the hospital, and he’ll take you in a boat to the another island directly across for ATV riding. The boat ride is only about 5 minutes. Once on the other side you’ll get your safety gear (full helmet with strap), protective gear and your ATV. Heads up — The trail is not a flat surface all the way through — it definitely has bumps, ups, downs, hills and curves but that makes for a good experience. Ultimately, you end up at a nice, private-ish beach with nice views. You will get dusty and dirty, so you might want to bring an extra pair of clothes and shoes. I’d recommend closed toe shoes for the ATV experience and maybe sandals for the boat ride over as your feet will likely get wet. Christopher also has face masks for sale (~20 pesos) (they resemble Pooh shiesty masks). Overall, 10/10 experience.
