Cartagena: Rosario Islands Catamaran with Lunch and Snorkel

Cartagena: Rosario Islands Catamaran with Lunch and Snorkel - Meeting at Bodeguita Dock Door 1, Without the Stress

1.Cartagena: Rosario Islands Catamaran with Lunch and Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,479 reviews · 7h 30m · from $107Our pick

Rosario Islands catamaran from Cartagena with lunch, snorkeling, and non-alcoholic drinks plus two swim stops.

“The activity is exactly what is stated, the private waiting area before boarding was great to get out of the hustle. They accommodate for English and Spanish speaking and explain each location in both so you won’t miss out on information. One thing they could add is how long each stop will be, at stages we weren’t sure if we had time for another swim after sun baking. The boat does honk its horn before departing The lunch was amazing, fresh salad and fruit with choice of seafood or chicken or vegetarian with rice. The chef loads your plate and if you want more salads you can help yourself to…”

2.Santa Marta: Sailboat day tour to Tayrona Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 352 reviews · 7h 30m · from $64

Sail from Santa Marta to Bahia Concha in Tayrona Park by sailboat, with snorkel gear, SUPs, and a grilled lunch, plus sunset return.

“I highly recommend this tour. The trip to the beach in Tayrona Park went smoothly both ways, the beach was absolutely wonderful, the water was clear, and everything was very clean. Transportation, and all details were very well organized. Sometimes on the boat it’s hard to stay out of the sun, so come prepared as it’s a little over an hour each way, and it’s easy to take a lot of sun before you even get to go out on the beach.”

4.From Santa Marta: Sunset Sailboat Tour with 2 Beverages

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 93 reviews · 2h 30m · from $47

Classic Santa Marta sunset sail to Taganga Bay with two drinks, marina entry, and photo-ready views from a vintage sailboat.

“O pôr-do-sol visto de dentro do mar é muito bonito e especial. Ficamos muito felizes por ter tido essa experiência. A equipe do veleiro é atenciosa e gentil, durante todo o passeio estiveram preocupados com as pessoas abordo e o bem-estar de todos. É uma experiência interessante, mas para quem tem medo de barco ou passa mal durante travessias eu não recomendo. Venta bastante e o veleiro fica instável, gerando movimentos contínuos para os lados, as vezes dando a impressão de que algo pode acontecer. Claro que a minha impressão é de alguém que não conhece/veleja, mas é uma impressão sincera sobre o passeio. Não dei nota máxima porque a…”

5.Santa Marta: Sailing Tour to Tayrona Park with Luis’ Team

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 76 reviews · 6h 30m · from $66

Sail from Santa Marta to Tayrona’s Bahia Concha, fish en route, snorkel and paddleboard, then return by late afternoon with snacks included.

“The crew was lovely and took good care of us. However, the tour didn't deliver and is quite expensive for what it is. Despite having booked an English tour with what was advertised as a bilingual crew, no one spoke any English and we did not understand any of the information given about the park or the day. So it was basically an expensive taxi to Concha beach. The beach is very full with boats who are blasting music despite it being a national park. We did some sailing back to Santa Marta, which was nice. In the end thay wanted to make us pay for some beers we hadn't…”

“Boat “party” if you are with the right people. We met up with young booze cruise folks at the horses (like they tell you to). We had to go to the boat ramps to find out which boat we were supposed to be on. Some boats had families (would not suggest). We had 12 people upfrRead more”

8.Full-Day Catamaran Tour through Tayrona

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 50 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Catamaran cruise from Santa Marta to Bahía Concha in Tayrona National Park, with snorkeling gear, paddle boards, ceviche lunch.

“The crew were excellent! So attentive and keen to make sure everyone was happy, fed and watered. Lunch and a plentiful supply of drinks and snacks, were great. I personally didn’t love the beach itself … have been to dozens of much nicer ones. Please note if you want to sit down on the beach you’re expected to pay for a chair (not a sun Lounger, a basic chair) . I found this disappointing within the context of a tour, given that lunch was served and especially for the price paid.”
