Top Colombia Day Trips - page 4

Overall a good experience and well organized. First arrival at the Marina and need to queue up outside for a guy to sell you an access ticket. Don t arrive before 8am as this is a lot more busy with long queue under the sun. Then when you have your ticket you pass the Marina gate entrance and look for the tour quite well indicated (everything is branded under the name of the tour top 3 isla. Then the guide check you in at the booth and have to wait for departure at 8:45 (that s why no need to go early). Then we boarded the speed boat with a reasonably small group (only about 20 people which is very small compared to all other groups 8 have seen. Then went for a one hour speed boat ride and got to the first Island (well more beach club really) called Bora Bora. We stayed there for 1 hour 1/2. They give you a good sunbed and a drink and you can order whatever you want. The beach is nice. Quite fun. Then at 11;30 boarded to boat again for a short trip to Isal Bela where we had lunch (it was okay but nothing to sing about) and could enjoy the beach and get around till 13:30. Then boarded the boat again for short trip to Pao Pao. Lovely resort quite secluded and laid back. Lovely beach and good sun beds. And then made our way back at 3pm.... and little did we know. Because of the wind the sea became very rough and the return took 1:30 and was quite tough. But we made it back to the Marina at 16:30. So it was a good day and gives you a good impression of the Islands. It is true that this tour avoids the super crowded spaces and that it what I was looking for. All places where we stopped were relatively quiet and spacious. It was fun, well organized and serious organisation. But I would qualify it more as a Beach Clib hoping rather than an Island hoping tour! Anyway, good value overall.

The Salt Cathedral is simply wonderful. Its architecture is incredible, with many fascinating details to explore. I highly recommend this tour! Guide was very cool and really knows the place and history behind it. Nice lunch after tour on a Local Colombian restaurant!

It rained like the world was ending at the beginning of our tour and all day long. Leis and Miguel were amazing and we partied in the rain anyways. They explained everything really well and they are both so much fun and engaging! Really glad we went anyways even w/ the weather.
