Speedboat to Rosario Islands for an all-day beach club from Cartagena, with lunch, beach beds, and Caribbean swimming plus water sports.
“Bring a fan because it gets very hot in the cabana. Other than that it was perfect and a lovely experience”
Speedboat from Cartagena to the Rosario Islands for a 7-hour day at Bora Bora Beach Club with lunch, beds, and a Caribbean party vibe.
“Defenitly show up at the time the tour suggests, maybe even earlier because a line will form. We were lucky we were there before the suggested time so we were the first people to get on the boat and get to the island. Food was delicious, the drinks were great, and customer service was spot on. The only thing is that this island is pricey (which makes sense). I wish it had been a little longer but also enough time to relax and chill.”
8-hour day trip from Cartagena to Playa Blanca on Isla Barú with Mambo Beach Club, welcome cocktail, lunch voucher, loungers.
“The beach is beautiful; you do need to walk about 5 minutes from bus to the beach. Make sure you bring comfortable sandals or sneakers. Our guide Alex was great !! Also, we were taken to (Mambo) section of beach. Note: must bring mosquito repellent. There were a lot of flies around the tables (very annoying and not good at all) I didn’t like this.”
Full-day Beach Club Mambo in Playa Blanca, Barú from Cartagena with lunch voucher, beach time, and scenic transit over Baru Bridge.
“My family and I really enjoyed the water, however, please be aware that people selling items on the beach can be very persistent if you entertain them. The food was okay, nothing to really rave about. The walk heading down to the beach can be a bit much for those who have issues going up and down steps and the ride to and from the beach is about 1hr30min more or less depending on traffic. I suggest planning accordingly if you plan on doing something afterwards.”
Playa Blanca from Cartagena with VIP access to Mambo Beach Club: chairs, lunch credit, lockers, and beach-party music.
“The beach was beautiful as the water is clear but lots of rocks and coral make it difficult to enter and there are boats with locals offering rides or other excursions which is nice however they are way too close to persons swimming which can be a little scary but no accidents happen while we were there. The locals asking you to buy items is so annoying. You can barely enjoy the beach because of it. The food options at mambo are decent and there was a Ling wait even though we put in out choices like 2 hrs ahead. It nice that Mambo offers options for loungers included but…”
A fast, early day trip from Cartagena to the National Aviary and Playa Blanca in Barú, with lunch and beach-club basics included.
“The aviary was a really unique experience and the beach was great! A nice day trip from Cartagena, we really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend if you only want a few hours at the beach as opposed to a whole day.”
A full 8-hour Cartagena day trip to Isla Barú: Aviary of Colombia bird tour plus Playa Blanca beach time with lunch and a welcome drink.
“The aviary is unmissable for any nature lovers! We visited the aviary as part of a beach trip package. The beach element was very meh and felt a little like a walking atm for hawkers, but the aviary made it feel more worth it. So if you can organise it I'd just do an aviary trip and avoid baru island beach visit. The park was a very unassuming place at first glance but as you progress through it's just incredible and gets better and better. A seemingly unending whirlwind of thousands of beautiful birds most of which I've never seen before, and wherever safe they put you right in with…”
A full-day trip to Playa Blanca on Isla Barú at Mambo Beach Club with transport, a lunch voucher, and standout Caribbean swimming time.
“Gostei muito, foi tudo bem tranquilo a praia é perfeita 🥰🥰🥰 experiência incrível”
A 7-hour wellness and sea day at Pao Pao Beach Club with snorkeling, a frigate tour, and a chef’s menu, plus sunset time.
“Overall it was a good experience. Boat left pretty much on time there and back. Took a little over an hour rather than the suggested 45 minute. Food was good. Place is clean and peaceful. Drinks were nice. Negative is that my particular waiter only came by about twice before lunch. After lunch I didn’t see him and after 45 minutes went and found him myself. I think this was likely because I was solo. A little more attention would have given 5 stars.”
Makani Luxury Beach Club day pass on Tierra Bomba: pool access, Kai Zone, welcome drink, and boat transfers from Bocagrande.
“Beautiful beach club with great food and drinks! This definitely provides your moneys worth!”
Cartagena’s La Punta Beach Club day pass includes a round-trip speedboat ride, beachfront bed, lunch, drinks, and sunset fun.
“This experience overall was just “okay”. The service and staff were amazing! The only fault is that the beach is just not up to par with the other beaches in the area. I recommend looking for an island beach club that is a further boat ride from the mainland. The water was not as clear as other places.”
Sunset dinner on Fenix Beach in Cartagena with a short bay cruise, bonfire welcome, DJ music, and ocean-view meal. Extra-fee options.
“Pessima experiencia Não recomendo a ninguém Cardápio ruim Atendimento de pessima qualidade Quando compramos apresentavam um cardápio, quando chegamos acabamos comendo apenas uma salada que era o que estava incluso, demais itens tudo pago adicional. Bebida apenas limonada, os demais tudo adicional Parece um local abandonado, sem estrutura Ou seja, pessima experiencia.”
Boat from Cartagena to Tierra Bomba for a Marine Beach Club day: beach, pool, welcome drink, and lunch included.
Speedboat from Cartagena to Tierra Bomba for an eco-certified beach club day with a gourmet lunch, 25m pool, and hourly returns.
“An excellent small eco-lodge, Pink Mango, on Tierra Bomba Island. Great service, very affordable prices for cocktails, drinks, and food. Best of all, a 100,000 COP credit per person is included, so in the end we only paid the tip. A fantastic experience — highly recommended!”
Tierra Bomba day pass from Cartagena: round-trip boat, welcome drink, typical lunch, dessert, and Fenix Beach Club facilities for 7 hours.
“What a relaxing and incredible experience I had! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. We spent the day relaxing on the beach, tried some local dishes and drinks and it was great! The food was delicious and varied, with traditional dishes that allowed us to savor the best of the local gastronomy. In addition, the service was exceptional, making sure that every detail was taken care of to make our experience unforgettable”
