Overall, this was an excellent experience. Jaime was a great host for a fun day exploring the islands. I would highly recommend this excursion for people looking to explore, swim, snorkel, and have great food at leisurely pace and without the party atmosphere found on other boats.

Jetski's out of control. Gasoline Beach
Great place. I have been three times. But this time the jetski's vendors were out of control . To close to the people swimming and the tour boats as well. There was no Respect for the people swimming. And the smell of gasoline was too much. Something needs to be done about this.

Our guide was great! She met us on time at the meeting point, we boarded a van that took us an hour away from Cartagena. While en route our guide told us some more history and the plan for the day. She was very helpful! When we arrived to the beach area we walked down to a small boat that took us to a smaller beach away from lots of crowds and most vendors. Only a few to say no gracias to and got sucked into an overpriced massage haha but overall a very relaxing day!

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.

Wonderful Day!
This boat tour was amazing! Our guide, Geuseppe was engaging and personable and ran things smoothly. The boat was clean and comfortable and the stops were each memorable in their own way. I was with my husband and 18 year old son. I probably wouldn’t recommend it for younger children, though.

A perfect day!
My wife and I had the greatest day snorkeling, swimming and island hopping during our trip. Pickup and dropoff were seamless, the boat was clean and expertly captained, and our host Gina was informative, funny and kind. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a relaxing day away from crowds.

Boating to the islands with my husband and teen girls
The team at Baru private boat rentals, led by our captains Kevin and Manuel, were super. We were looking for a tranquil experience and even on a busy Saturday, they found quiet places along the Rosario Islands and Baru for us to swim and snorkel and relax. It helps to speak some Spanish most certainly. My Louisiana fisherman husband knows boats and we marveled at how they navigated the rough waters upon our return from the islands for the World Cup semifinal. What a lovely duo! Mil gracias to Kevin and Manuel!

Fun way to visit the white sand beaches and snorkel
Had an excellent time on this island tour and snorkeling adventure. We traveled safely by speedboat, stopped to learn about two of the islands and then our first excursion was snorkeling in the blue ( pretty shallow) water. Snorkeling gear was provided and seeing the colorful fish easily was one of my favorite parts of the trip. We visited two more islands with beach access, chairs and sun beds and lunch included. The tour guide Franklin and two captains were great. Be prepared to climb in and out of the boat several times, Would highly recommend.

How to get there
When to visit

Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as shade can be hard to come by on the beach.
Pack a swimsuit and a towel if you want to get into the water.
Consider staying the night on the island to see it at its quietest, after the day trippers have left.
Plan to spend a full day on Baru Island; guided excursions typically last upwards of six hours.
