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…”

6-hour Medellín coffee farm tour with pickup, bean picking, tastings, paisa lunch, and optional horseback ride to viewpoints.
“What a fantastic time we had at the coffee plantation! From start to finish, the experience was an absolute joy. It was so much fun learning about the entire operation and the rich history of the plantation. Our guide was simply the best—so enthusiastic and friendly! His passion for the coffee-making process and the plantation's story was contagious and made the learning part truly engaging. And then there was the horseback ride! Despite the heavens opening up and pouring rain on us the entire time (yes, we got soaking wet!), we made the absolute best of it and had a blast. It turned a great ride into a hilarious and…”
La Candelaria guided walk in Bogotá: fruit tasting, street art, major landmarks, and history to Bolívar Square. Small group, $16.

Everything was in working order the music was awesome and the ride was calm and relaxing. We got amazing photos by the photographer which were fairly priced. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to actually enjoy an evening on the water. The price is more than worth the experience!”
