Choose from these options that best align with your vibe and budget:

SNORKEL TOUR (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM): Enjoy sightseeing at the historic Bocachica Fort and Pablo Escobar’s former estate. Includes three dedicated stops (1.5 hours each) at Marina Island, Grande Island (featuring snorkeling and lunch), and Rosario Island. Choose the LEISURE TOUR that follows the same itinerary, but without snorkeling.

PARTY TOUR (8:30 AM – 4:00 PM): Includes the same sightseeing stops but swaps relaxation for excitement with 1.5-hour visits to Baru Island, Grande Island (for lunch), and the famously loud and crowded party hub, Cholon Island. (Note: Select this option carefully and avoid if you prefer a quieter day.)

VIP TOUR (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM): Travel via a comfort speedboat for an exclusive experience. Includes the same sightseeing stops followed by snorkeling and three premium stops (1.5 hours each): a visit to Islabela, a private beach club (for lunch), and time at an award-winning island resort.

Leisure, Snorkel & Party tickets travel on SHUTTLE BOATS, while VIP tickets on COMFORT SPEEDBOATS. Leisure & Party tickets DO NOT do snorkel. Public islands like Cholon and Baru are unmaintained, loud, and crowded with vendors — choose the Party option carefully. We reserve the right to modify itinerary due to weather.

By proceeding, you agree to our Terms & Conditions (found on our website). You confirm that you are responsible for securing your own travel insurance and fully release the company from all liability regarding accidents, injuries, or medical costs. Guests must independently arrange transportation to/from the meeting point and assume sole responsibility for alcohol consumption, situational awareness, and conduct, accepting full financial liability for any resulting damages or fines. The company is also not liable for the actions of other participants or third parties. Note: Speedboat rides can be bumpy due to open sea conditions, making it not suitable for infants, pregnant women, or those with back, heart, or mobility issues; participation is at your own risk. Finally, engaging in unauthorized activities with third-party island vendors violates safety protocols and constitutes a voluntary withdrawal from the tour and forfeiting further service.

    Had a really nice trip with Deli and Sebastian, they made the whole day a great experience with a lot of time to relax and some action on the way back. The food and drinks and the stops were very delicious and everyone of the staff was very kind. Thank you very much, keep up the good work.

    5 Islands - 3 actual stops and 2 drive-bys (the forts on Isla Bomba and the Escobar mansion). Really enjoyable and easy way to see the offshore islands, snorkel and swim. Top notch, professional and fun crew. I did the VIP Tour and the Rosario beach club stop for lunch is top shelf.

    I had so much fun! It was completely worth it! Kudos to Ana our guide! 😍🥳 I would just recommend getting a bigger boat depending on the amount of people getting on so that we can all be more comfy! But otherwise, it was FUN! 🤩
