On this excursion from Cartagena de Indias, we'll explore the beautiful Rosario Islands and discover their incredible marine biodiversity.

Description

We'll pick you up at the indicated time at your hotel in Cartagena de Indias or at the agreed meeting point. From there, we'll head towards the Marina Todo Mar dock to board a boat that will take us across the bay of Las Animas. You'll be welcome with fresh fruit and a welcome drink. Gradually, we'll make our way into the open sea as we sail toward the Rosario Islands.

During our crossing, we'll make a brief stop at the fortress of San Fernando in Bocachica. Leaving this area behind, we'll arrive at Isla Grande, where the group of islands that we'll visit are located. There, you'll have free time to snorkel and see the numerous colourful fish. 

After touring this area with the boat, we'll continue to the island of San Martin. On the way, we'll tell you where Pablo Escobar's sunken plane would be.

Then we'll disembark on the island of Cholon. Here, you'll have an hour of free time. The next stop will be at Blanca Beach on the Baru peninsula. You'll have another hour free to swim in the crystal clear waters.

Finally, after 8 hours together, we'll say goodbye at the Marina Todo Mar dock, located in Bocagrande.
