  This was a good experience to do when in Cartagena! I had heard a lot about the Rosario islands and from people I know had said not to do too many stops, and to get a good boat (theirs was way too small) which is the reason I went with this tour. I loved that it was a catamaran boat which helped with the rockiness and the relaxation (the nets were incredible) and we did only two stops which helped make it not too long and dragged out. Lunch was good nothing special but filled you up, and drinks weren’t included but not the end of the world. This was fun and relaxing but not a rowdy boat, there’s music and such but it’s not crazy party so if that’s what you’re looking for this probably isn’t a top option. But if you want a tour that isn’t too overwhelming, relaxing and still a fun experience and time I would definitely recommend!

  We had a really good time sailing to the Rosario Islands with Bona Vida, in spite of some sub-optimal conditions. The catamaran was very comfortable even in somewhat choppy seas, and we were very glad not to be on a little speedboat getting bounced around. The food and drinks were good, and we had a good time swimming off the boat, especially in the afternoon when the weather cleared up. The coral in those spots is not in good shape, but there were fish and some things to see. All in all, while the snorkeling was only okay, everything else about the trip was excellent. If you go into it to enjoy swimming and sailing in beautiful spots, this tour delivers a great experience.

  This was an excellent experience, the boat was very nice (even with rougher waters it was not too crazy and my partner who often gets seasick was fine) and the crew was wonderful. The food was also well above expectations! We loved snorkeling and then sunbathing on the netting at the second stop. Would go again in a heartbeat.

  Excellent service and walk, recommend👏🙌 to go with family, friends and couples,.A day of relaxation, fun. It's worth going if you haven't known the Islands.

  The experience was nice, the snorkeling was nice but we didn’t see much, the food was good. The only down side was the staff on board. They didn’t seem happy to be there, they did not smile and we felt like they were annoyed when we would ask simple things like a drink which was included. Overall the experience was good but don’t go for the vibe, go for the activity itself.

  The catamaran ride was a lot of fun. Despite some weather, it was still very enjoyable. Enjoyed the first stop with the calm sea. The second stop had more current, which was not as enjoyable. Would recommend this experience.

  Disappointing experience – nothing to do with what was promised We booked the excursion to the Rosario Islands expecting a quiet walk along paradise beaches, but it was a disaster. They told us they'd pick us up at 7:40 and arrived at just 8:40. Between delays, disorganization and endless waiting, we arrived in Baru at almost 11:30. The place was full of people, dirty, messy and far away from photos or descriptions. There was no control, everything seemed improvised and chaotic. I really don't recommend it. It's not worth the money or time wasted. Hopefully logistics and transparency will improve, because as it stands, it is a scam for tourists.

• Great and relaxing.

  We departed almost on time from gate 3. The ride was really smooth! As soon as we left the port, we had watermelon juice and some snacks. Everything was good. Including the lunch as well. We ate as much as we wanted and had plenty. Snorkeling gear was great too. The second time we stopped was ok. It's not a great place to do snorkeling. But, as the tour was coming to an end, the waiters stopped being nice. No more smiles. They gave us attitude because we didn't ordered any alcohol. So we didn't left tip. 4 stars for that hiccup! Otherwise, I really recommend if you want a smooth and relaxing day.

  From the beginning the tour was lively, fun and the music was great. The catamaran was spacious, with more than enough room to move about. The crew was kind and courteous and made our time on the water safe and entertaining. The snorkeling was cool, I didn’t see many fish or marine life but other guest did. I recommend this tour 10000x.

• Catamaran Fun!

  Eat way to spend a day in Cartagena; the Captain and Bar were great and 8 hours of sailing and swimming and music was awesome! Don’t forget to drop $20 into the top jar and ring the bell, these guys work hard. My 3rd time on the tour!
