Great but...

Could be amazing if the communication was better. A good morning and what to expect at pick up would have been nice. After checkin, it was caotic... so many different guides calling their group. When we were shuttled to the bus, a hello the ride to baru is about 45min would have been nice too. When we were waiting on the humid beach for the boat to be ready..being told would have been nice. As non spanish speaking customers, all communication wasnt always said in spanish AND english so at times we felt very lost. If we were not proactive in asking questions im sure we would have gotten lost at times, especially on the way back to cartegena where we never saw our initial guide after he said it was time to go on the beach... we just happen to follow the other guide/ group to the buses and were told just get on that bus to centro. The excursion itself is what you make it. The guides seemed like they knew what their job was but should be told to tell the guests whats happening and dont just leave us alone. In the end better communication would have gone a long way. TIP: Be sure to bring water and a snack as lunch isnt until the last stop.

Could be a fantastic tour if some things are fixed

Late pick up, plenty traffic due to Bakurta market which shortened our stay at Playa Blanca that was disappointing. The food was salty. However there were a few staff who made sure we were taken care of. Be aware of stopping at Cholon where they try to rip you off if you have no COP. They hike up the prices for a simple lolly!!! Otherwise we made the most of the experience. Would have liked to have more time at the Aquarium to swim with the dolphins also.
