Great experience we loved our host! recommend 10/10 we visited all islands with no problem they communicate through whatsapp it was a lil confusing at first but they picked us up from our hotel along other people and took us towards the boats to go to the islands

Do not buy !!!

Abigael_C, Dec 2024

To start with : The description is not accurate. We ended up leaving by bus at 8h30( we were suppose to leave at 7h30 ) , we all thought we were taking the boat at the meeting point . It was only around 10h30 that we got on the boat . The first island you only stop to see Pablo Escobar's plane for 10 min . The second island the snorkeling was terrible, there was barely any fish only some corals to look at . Third island was a party island where the prices are ridiculous . The guys from the boat will tell you to stick with them only to buy from their friends at full price. Buy stuff on your own and negotiate. The 4th island you stop for only 30 min and they just try to sell you stuff and the beach is not worth it . Last place is nice but they make sure they feed you on the last island so you buy food on the other ones . At every island is it completely crowed and it's only a big money grab . Please save your money and don't do it . It's completely crowded and the views are not even that nice . For the Plankton we did not do it cause we were the only 2 ones on the boat to do it and we were supposed to stay on the island until 6h30 and come back in cartagena around 9h30 .On top of that the activity would only last 15 min and we needed to come back in a very small boat and the waves were very big ....

Dear Abigael, we are sure that all the points you have mentioned have a reason to be, however, we know that your personal experience was not what you expected so we just thank you for all your comments and add them to all the positive comments we have had from most of our visitors.

Cool

Vilma_M, Oct 2024

Loved this tour, had the best fried fish on this tour. Very beautiful, the boat was very cool and the music was on point.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

thank you for your comments Vilma we hope to have you back soon and continue discovering more spectacular places in the caribbean.

Should be called the 5 island vulture tour

Paula_G, May 2024

The only complaint I have with the company we booked through was they provided goggles for snorkeling but no breathing tubes. They make a big difference. Our tour guide was great but the biggest damper on the whole experience was the vendors. When you travel you understand they're going to try to sell you stuff and that's fine but the vendors on this beach tour, and in the walled city go way beyond what you're expecting and what's acceptable. One of our stops was only 30 minutes and you couldn't even enjoy the time you were there cause at every stop they wait for you like a group of vulture waiting to take their turns pecking and repecking at you. Even when you tell them no several times they just keep trying to force their items into your hands. Not the feeling when you're just trying to have a good time on the beach and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings. We even had one vendor that sat next to our group talking $hit about my friend. Put a big damper on our day but I wouldn't take back the experience. I understand the tour guides can't step in but there should be more of a police or secuity presence to just make them accept the word no and back off a bit.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Paula, first of all we are glad you left such a nurturing comment, for all of us who are travelers we know that there are circumstances that even though we have tried to work to improve them there are some areas that even we cannot do much. We will attend your comments to maybe support us with our guides to try to make them have a better experience in this type of circumstances. I hope this is not a bad taste in your mouth and that you will take away a nice memory of the wonderful beaches of Islas del Rosario.
