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

Kim_M, Oct 2026

Great Day of Fun, Sun and Relaxation

The 5 Island Hop was one of the highlightsof our Cartagena trip. Edwin and his crew were super friendly from start to finish and made us feel right at home. The ride out and back on the speedboat was so much fun, and the music selections were on point and kept the energy up the whole way. Along the route we got a quick history lesson at two of the stops, which added a nice touch before we settled into the fun part: several gorgeous beaches and beach clubs. We lucked into a day of good weather and spent it exactly how you'd want to: relaxing, snorkeling in clear water, enjoying a good lunch, and soaking up great company.

Cartagena: Private Walking Tour of the Walled City & Getsemaní

Dakota_L, Oct 2026

Tour De Palenque, Road to Emancipation.

Natalia_A, Sep 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable and Authentic Experience in Palenque!

We had an incredible tour of San Basilio de Palenque with Romeo, who was a fantastic guide! He and the local community welcomed us with open arms, everyone was super friendly (amable) and made us feel completely safe and right at home throughout the entire visit. The tour is available in both English and Spanish, making it easy and engaging for everyone. A major highlight was the food, we had the most amazing fish stewed in coconut milk! Beyond the history and culture, it was also a great opportunity to connect with interesting people along the way. I highly encourage both national and international travelers to book this tour. It’s not only a rich cultural experience, but also a meaningful way to directly support the local community. Don't miss it when visiting Colombia!

Cartagena Urban Party Boat to Cholón: 5 Stops with Lunch & Drinks

I had the most...

My birthday was the next day and they made it a point to make me feel special and everyone else who was celebrating our birthday. They were checking in on us making sure we were enjoying ourselves. We were safe. 10/10 does not cut it !!!! They need 10000000/10 We were the turn up group at the island and that is because of the entire team. They were so informative and kind. I had the most amazing day to bring in my birthday. BOOK THIS NOW YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Top 3 Islands Tour Bora Bora, Pao Pao and Islabela With Lunch

Steven_P, Sep 2026

Beautiful Islands and Great Value—Just Be Ready for a Bumpy Ride!

Overall, this was a really enjoyable and worthwhile experience. We visited three islands—Islabela, Pao Pao, and Bora Bora—and I thought the amount of time spent at each was just right for this type of tour. Each stop gave us enough time to relax on comfortable beach chairs under the umbrellas and enjoy the beautiful, clear, warm ocean. Lunch was also included, and I chose the chicken, which was very good. My only criticism would be the boat ride. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the islands and another 45 minutes back, and the ride can be extremely rough. We sat toward the front, and the boat repeatedly slammed against the water because of the speed. If you have any back problems, I would definitely avoid sitting in the front, although others mentioned that the middle and back could still be pretty rough. Despite the uncomfortable boat ride, I thought the overall experience was well worth the price. You get to visit three beautiful islands, enjoy the water, relax, and have lunch included. I would recommend it, just be prepared for a bumpy ride!

Cartagena ATV Tour

JaMor_H, Sep 2026

Finally an ATV Tour Worth the Money. Book this one!

As someone who grew up riding ATV and other recreational vehicles, I’ve never been much of a fan of ATV tours. They’ve always been underwhelming and over managed. This experience was perfect! Very beautiful views of course, knowledgeable guides and staff, and just the right amount of guidance - adaptable for rider skill levels.

Cartagena's Rosario Islands 5-Site Boat Tour with Lunch & Snorkel

Samantha_D, Sep 2026

Highly recommend, even if traveling solo!

This was such a fun experience! Finding the meeting spot was clear and easy, and the actual tour was so fun! Antonio did a great job and for someone traveling solo, he made sure he knew my name. The beaches were fantastic and there was a good mix of activities (water slides, snorkeling) and relaxation (pool or beach sitting). I would highly recommend, as I felt super safe traveling there with a big group.

Rosario Islands and Playa Blanca Tour with Snorkeling or Aquarium

Katya_K, Sep 2026

We wanted to experience...

We wanted to experience of white sand and clear water. Cartagena Beach is not white and not clear. The team who took care of us did and excellent job. Playa Blanca beach is a real Caribbean experience. Its beautiful,but if you are looking for peaceful place it is not. Ride to the beach and back was bumpy🙂it takes about an hour to get there.

Cartagena Jet Ski Adventure with Optional Drone Video

Dari_B, Sep 2026

Amazing Jet Ski Experience

This was an amazing experience from start to finish. The host had great energy, was welcoming, and made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. The jet skis were a blast, and the host was very accommodating and flexible when weather and traffic caused delays. I really appreciated the communication and willingness to work with us. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!

Private City Tour of Cartagena

Melissa_A, Jun 2026

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!
