2.Islabela Islands Boat Trip with Lunch & Cocktail

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 41 reviews · from $94

Meet at Cartagena’s Bodeguita dock at 7:30 AM for a Spanish-hosted speedboat ride to Islabela, a beach hotel in the Rosario Islands. Your day includes a welcome cocktail, lunch, loungers, kayaks, bathrooms, and weekend yoga. Bring a towel, sunscreen, swimwear, and water shoes. Snorkeling and massages cost extra.

“The trip was a lot of fun. We loved our experience at Islabela Island. The food, the drinks, the beach, and the service were great. The unfortunate part was that our boat to get to the island keep on shutting off. It took much longer to get to our destination as it kept on happening every 15 minutes. It will take the crew many tries to get the boat going. This was a bit frustrating and unfortunate as it took away from our time at the island.”

5.Cristal Beach Day Trip with Cocktail and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 7 reviews · 6 hours · from $48Best value

Spend six hours traveling from Cartagena to Freedom Beach Club on Barú, with an optional National Aviary stop, speedboat transfers, a welcome cocktail, lunch, loungers, umbrellas, and board games. Expect warm water and a relaxed beach stay, but also some confusing transfers and Spanish-only guiding.

“The Aviary is a really beautiful place. Highly recommended. My only complaint is that is very confusing when you book the activity it says Playa Tranquila + Aviary, but we have to pay an extra amount to enter the Aviary. That’s something you need to put clear, so people don’t get confused.”
