Cartagena: FISHERMEN’S ISLAND IN THE MANGROVES by canoe

3.Cartagena: FISHERMEN’S ISLAND IN THE MANGROVES by canoe

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 2 hours · from $28Best value

Glide through Cartagena’s mangrove tunnels, meet fishermen, hear local music, and enjoy a small, authentic Caribbean outing for $28.

“Esperienza autentica, giro tra le mangrovie a bordo di una canoa guidata da un abitante de la Bouquilla. La nostra guida è stata molto disponibile e parlava un ottimo inglese. Eravamo solo in due e c'erano pochia altri turisti, non so se fosse bassa stagione. Anche arrivare al punto di raccolta passando col taxi sulla spiaggia e osservando i bus del trasporto pubblico che transitano sulla spiaggia è stato parte dell'esperienza. Per me consigliatissimo se vi piace stare un po' fuori dai percorsi turistici più blasonati.”

Paddle La Boquilla’s quiet mangrove tunnels with local fishermen, learn Afro-Colombian traditions, spot birds, and see another side of Cartagena.

“I really enjoyed the beautiful canoe tour through the mangroves. You'll see a lot of fish and wildlife. The booking is per canoe so I ended up getting a private tour since I booked by myself.

The tour was in Spanish with a few English terms, so if you understand some Spanish you may…”
