Micheal was an extreme...
Micheal was an extreme help! We had our full time and had an amazing time! It’s best to go when the sun is setting down, you will get the best view. But all shouts to Micheal he’s a great person and knows exactly how to treat guests him and his associates. Thank you again! Definitely coming back 5 starrrrr!!!!

Service and impeccable quality.
Botegena's attention was impeccable from start to finish. The boats are very comfortable, modern, and are in excellent condition to navigate with total safety. It is a pleasure to find brands that care so much about the customer experience. Totally recommended!

Amazing Tour for a Port Day
Luis and Trefone were an amazing duo! Luis was extremely knowledgeable and Trefone easily navigated traffic. They were both kind and attentive and made sure we were able to see everything included in the tour itinerary even after our cruise ship was delayed getting into port. Scion Tours responded quickly and were understanding of the situation when I messaged them the morning of our tour to let them know that we would be late for pickup. I would highly recommend this tour for a port day!

An Amazing day relaxing on the water
This was an amazing experience in a relaxed very comfortable Catamaran. Clean settings and bathroom. Spots they stop for are away from the crowds. Food served on the boat is top notch freshly prepared. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Great for people who want to spend a relaxing day in the water.

It's worth it - Playa Blanca
Excellent experience, I recommend! Karina, our guide, was excellent. There is a drive of approximately 1 hour by car. The driver was the low point of the ride, but just ignore its direction. I recommend taking cash in kind; you can exchange dollars on the way to a fairly acceptable exchange. The place where we stayed is excellent, beautiful beach, no sellers (only the 3 known locations - still it is necessary to be firm in the "No"), good food. There is acceptable bathroom. I recommend taking the tour to dive and see the guaxinins. Talk to your own guide.

Great but beware of lunch scam
Hiring a private boat is a must. Otherwise, you are in a horrible cattle call with the other operators. It was worth every penny. You will be greeted by someone that gets you to the boat and then you are out on the boat all day. You can customize where you want to go and how long to stay. It was safe.
My only complaint is that the beach club where we ate lunch they asked us if we wanted to provide lunch for the boat crew of two people. We felt pressured to do this. Why wouldn’t the boat crew bring their own lunch? It’s one thing if they were sitting there with us, of course we would buy them lunch, but they were attending to the boat. It just seems like they should pack their own lunch. We felt obligated so we did send them the lunch and we were surprised it was more expensive than we were expecting. This just reduce the amount we gave them as a tip at the end. I think it’s a scam with the restaurant so maybe it should be made very clear multiple times while we are still on the boat not to fall for the scam at the beach club. It was included in the pre-departure information, but it was in the fine print and not highlighted. Seems like the boat operators would not allow this to happen. Or they should have given us a printed out piece of paper in English that clearly says we have our own lunch. Do not buy us a lunch but we appreciate your tips.

Great bang for the buck
Great driver. Cool van. Abundance of cultural and relevant information. Bring a fan and a hat as there are periods of standing in the sun. For us Americans it was hot and humid. Eduardo was personable and passionate about Cartagena the historical, religious, and cultural highlights of the area. Due to our short time in port, didn't have time to stop for a cervesa, which was a bummer.
