Nice boat, great and attentive staff. The Captain made sure we were safe at all times. Great music on the boat. They gave us enough time on the island to enjoy the food and drinks. I would book with this company again and definitely recommend!!

Extremely overpriced for...

Todd_B, Aug 2026

Extremely overpriced for experience. The night before found that there were many up charges on top of the $720 spent. Did not even get close to the full time. Very poor experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hi Todd, we are very disappointed while reading this review after giving you a great service and quoting from you "Snorkeling and capri are great." As any experience in the world if you want to upgrade it or add more service to it, it will have an additional value, we are sure as a traveler you understand that. We were very kind and responsive with you, we added a courtesy bottle of wine, courtesy snorkel masks and double up the beers onboard, however it seems it wasn't enough to fulfill your expectations. Remember the time to come back to the city may vary according to the sea and wind conditions, our captain will always prioritize safety. Your review helps us to improve and give us a great lesson. I will be happy to invite you a round of drinks next time you visit Cartagena. Kind regards,

We had a great time

Amazing experience

Lina_S, Apr 2026

So Viator was absolutely atrocious with customer service and completely insensitive. I had a family situation last minute which I understood the cancellation policy and I had reached out to Viator at first they said they would help and did adjust my date to two weeks later as per my request but an hour later the said I was SOL and that they couldn’t do anything about it where I would have lost my money. Fortunately for me this company, Dennis specifically was kind and flexible and was able to work with me. I’m very grateful and very appreciative. Amazing customer services the two captains Wilberto and his partner were extremely attentive, hospitable, and professional. They truly took care of us went above and beyond for us. I also injured myself and sprained my foot and they took very good care of me waited for us to get an uber once they dropped us off at a pier closer to a hotel, throughout they were very attentive and gave us a great tour. I felt like they truly advocated for us overall.

Incredible time

Cameron_W, Apr 2026

Truly an incredible experience with the best captains. Incredibly hospitable and made sure we had a great time.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for this review Cameron, it was good to meet you at the pier. This is what as a business owner I expect on every experience my customers has. I am glad my team met your expectations. See you next time. Cheers!

Thankful we picked this company to visit the islands.

Looking for a private ride to the islands and other great spots? I recommend Dennis, more than great.

Thank you for your review!

Not cheap, but private.

Thomas_W, Sep 2025

Although we booked an English speaking guide, ours spoke only Spanish. It's okay, we could communicate, but still not what we paid. The tour is customizable, which is difficult if you don't know your stuff. The snorkel spot was OK, but there are better ones on the islands.

Hello Thomas. Thank you for your review, for future trips remember that bilingual guides are additional to the cost of the tour, therefore you received exactly what you paid for. Remember the day you went to the islands the weather wasn't the best. And we have no control over the weather. We have very beautiful islands however the weather can be tricky sometimes. The day is 100% customizable ad your convenience since it is a private boat, we can give you an idea or advice about the area, however you have the control on where do you want to visit. We hope to have you back in town in the future and work with you again, we want to deserve a 5 stars 🌟 from you.
