Five islands from Cartagena with snorkeling, lunch, and big scenery—plus a party stop. Worth it if you plan for pickup and extra island costs.

“Reserved a specific pick-up location which the tour company refused to honor. Ended up taking a taxi to the meeting location, was promised a partial refund on that but never got it. The boat tour itself mainly involved a couple snorkeling stops and the rest were bar or restaurant stops where you were overcharged for drinks and food by people recommended by the guides.”
