    Excellent

    karlaenith_s, Jan 2026
    Beach with crystal clear waters, quiet, no street vendors, many restaurants with good food at affordable prices, good experience with the guides, viewpoint stop for photos, do not recommend snorkeling, little fauna, different corals and some fish, excellent communication with guides, almost on time instead of pickup.

    Disappointing experience. The tour lasts 11 hours overall, but the actual time you spend at the beach is about 2.5 hours. The rest of the time is wasted in transportation and various waits. We strongly advise against being persuaded to pay a surcharge to visit the second beach. Time is so short that it is best to enjoy only Playa Cristal.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Ciao Simone , grazie per aver condiviso la tua opinione. Vorremmo chiarire che l’esperienza è un tour condiviso e organizzato con un itinerario stabilito in anticipo. Il tempo reale di permanenza a Playa Cristal non è di 2,5 ore, come menzioni, ma di circa 6 ore in spiaggia, come indicato nella descrizione del tour. La durata complessiva di 11 ore include infatti tutta la logistica: il pick-up negli hotel, i trasferimenti, l’ingresso al Parco Tayrona e le visite ad altri punti di interesse come il mirador di Siete Olas, Neguanje e altri luoghi che fanno parte dell’esperienza. Per questo riteniamo importante precisare che le informazioni riportate nella tua recensione non rispecchiano la realtà dell’itinerario. Il nostro impegno è sempre quello di offrire un’esperienza completa, sicura e ben organizzata, affinché ogni visitatore possa godersi al massimo Playa Cristal e le altre bellezze del parco. Cordiali saluti, Living Tour

    Nos recogieron en el Hotel tal cual lo comprometido y a tiempo. Los guías son buenos, pero hablan mucho y me refiero a que no solo lo que compete al tour. Y en lo momentos en que no estaban hablando, ponían la música a todo dar. Es importante poder descansar también. No me gustó que en la descripción del tour no se informara que solo se puede cancelar en efectivo, porque eso me frenó de tomar un adicional del tour y de comprar bebidas o comida. Por otro lado, la playa es hermosa, el entorno impresionante. Lo malo, aunque te dicen en la entreda que se prohíben los animales domésticos, los parlantes y las bebidas alcohólicas, puedes encontar todo eso en el parque y nadie hace nada. De hecho, los animales está en los locales comerciales del parque. De toas maneras hay que conocer el parque con más tiempo, es un lugar único.

    Buena experiencia no cómo lo había imaginado. El transporte muy viejo, sucio y descuidado

    El mejor momento es la vista maravillosa del Mirador de 7 olas y el haber disfrutado de la playa cristal donde el agua estaba limpia y de un color verde con cambios de colores de acuerdo a la luz del sol

    Buena oportunidad

    Excelente la puntualidad. Todos se cumplió según lo planeado. Pero me hubiera gustado que el autobús fuera más cómodo.
