Cartagena: Rosario Islands Catamaran with Lunch and Snorkel - A catamaran built for a long day afloat

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,479 reviews · 7h 30m · from $107Our pick

Spend 7.5 hours aboard a spacious Cartagena catamaran with two swim stops, snorkeling, lunch, free soft drinks, and Rosario Islands views.

“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…”

The tour guide was very reassuring and explained that it’s completely normal and safe, which really helped us relax. Tayrona Park itself is stunning, the beach is clean, beautiful, and well preserved. The food served was fresh and delicious too. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!”

“O pôr-do-sol visto de dentro do mar é muito bonito e especial. Ficamos muito felizes por ter tido essa experiência. A equipe do veleiro é atenciosa e gentil, durante todo o passeio estiveram preocupados com as pessoas abordo e o bem-estar de todos. É uma experiência interessante, mas para quem tem medo de barco ou passa mal durante travessias eu não recomendo. Venta bastante e o veleiro fica instável, gerando movimentos contínuos para os lados, as vezes dando a impressão de que algo pode acontecer. Claro que a minha impressão é de alguém que não conhece/veleja, mas é uma impressão sincera sobre o passeio. Não dei nota máxima porque a…”
