What are people saying about Cartagena

Sarina_F, Nov 2026

Must do in Cartagena!

Christopher and his staff were so helpful and kind. The tour was around Tierra bomba and he always asked if we were comfortable. We even stopped at a beach club for a quick break before completing the tour. It was a 10/10 experience. Great for beginners like us too!

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

Covey_N, Oct 2026

5 Island Boat Tour (coco cartagena)

The overall trip was great. However, due to the thunderstorms, certain islands weren't available to visit but we still had a great time. Our guide Antonio and the boat crew, were professional, knowledgeable, made sure we were safe and they were available to answer questions. The boat is a smalll speedboat, the seating is tight and it will be bumpy at times as the boat travels to the various destinations. I would also recommend water shoes, as some beaches have coral and although not sharp, it may be uncomfortable to step on. The accommodations at each stop was good. Bathrooms were clean and the service was great. The check in process wasn't, just listen to the instructions and you'll be fine. There are a lot of vendors, if you're not interested, a simple no gracias will be fine. There are vendors on Kayaks at the various stops, but again, if you don't want something, you don't have to buy it. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves and we were very happy with our guide Antonio and the crew.

Tour De Palenque, Road to Emancipation.

Sharon_D, Oct 2026

Amazing

Where to start? Our guide Roméo was engaging from the start and continued to be entertaining. He was very well informed and considerate. Palenque was as I imagined, we enjoyed local dancers, vendors, got to view beautiful murals and really gained history not taught in the States. I would love to go on another tour to learn even more.

Cartagena ATV Tour & Mini Motos

Steven_P, Sept 2026

An Unforgettable ATV Adventure—Scenic, Safe, and So Much Fun!

My friend and I had an absolute blast on this ATV tour! I had ridden an ATV before, but this was his first time, and it was a great experience for both of us. We started from their home base and rode along dirt roads toward a beautiful cliff overlooking the ocean. From there, we made our way down to another area where lunch was provided, then continued through private property and local neighborhoods near the beach. The highlight was getting to cruise at higher speeds along the beach—it was incredibly fun! I also really appreciated how seriously the guides took safety. Our guide constantly made sure everyone stayed together, checked to see if anyone was having trouble, and kept a close eye on the group throughout the entire tour. I felt like we were in very good hands. I definitely recommend this tour! It was exciting, scenic, well organized, and just the right length to easily fit between other activities we had planned. One of the most fun experiences of our trip!

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

Steven_P, Sept 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!

Rosario Islands and Playa Blanca Tour with Snorkeling or Aquarium

Excursion696062, Sept 2026

Swimming with dolphins

A very nice trip, well-served food, enough time on the beach, we chose the aquarium instead of the diving... it's only an hour... little time, but they guide you to swim with the dolphins immediately and then visit the park... with that we managed to swim with the dolphins but the time was rushed to see the park. The really cool guides.

Cartagena Jet Ski Adventure with Optional Drone Video

Dari_B, Sept 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!
