Highlights
  • Fuerte de San Sebastian del Pastelillo - On the island of Manga is the Fort of San Sebastian del Pastelillo, which has now become the location of the famous Club de Pesca restaurant.

In this place there was the fort of Boquerón, which was destroyed in 1741 by Admiral Vernon in the attack on the city of Cartagena. Together with other fortresses such as Fort San Jose and Fuerto de San Fernando , it controlled the maritime traffic of the bay to prevent possible attacks.

The Fort of San Sebastian del Pastelillo has 31 guns and camouflage is achieved on the ground. The name of San Sebastian comes from a Saint who was the patron of the conquerors, and Pastelillo is a military term that means like grass, therefore a castle that adapts to the terrain.

A nice conclusion to our trip to Cartagena - This was an experience we tacked on to our itinerary to end our trip, and I am so glad we did! We experienced a gorgeous sunset from a ship on the bay, with all the rum we could drink. We had a great time, with great value for the cost. We would do this again!

A deal! Open bar + Kids friendly - For the price it’s worth it. Open bar gives you decent rum cocktails. View is gorgeous. Service is great. For $35 you can barely get 2 cocktails these days. So I say it’s a deal! P.S. even though it has an open bar this tour is very kids friendly. Matter of fact all the kids that were in my tour had the most amazing time dressing up like pirates and steering the vessel.

The cherry on top of my weekend on Cartagena! La Fantastica is a must! - I saw the ship while walking around the area. It looked so authentic and pretty that decided to book the sunset tour they offered on Viator. What an amazing and unexpectedly nice experience! I was ready for a crowded ship, booze-infused loud crowd, and it was anything like it! During the sailing, the owner spent time chatting with all the guests telling us the story of the ship and his vision of changing the dynamics of the Cartagena tourist attractions' market by offering much more excitement and surprise element to it. His crew of three handsome young men was attentive and entertaining! They took care of us with tasty drinks, posed for pictures, and took pictures of the guests. Even the background music was so lively and nice! La Fantastica was even in a "fictional fight" with another pirate ship during the tour! This tour was the cherry on top of my weekend in Cartagena! Thank you so much to the owner and the crew! You were the best entertainers!

Sunset pirate cruise a must! - Crew was engaging. Music soundtrack was 5 stars! The two hour round-trip a delight -- soft waves and gorgeous breeze. Sunset spectacular. Back to port in darkness against bright lights of Cartagena skyline ..so magical.

Fill the cup up - Very nice. Little difficult to get to the bathroom and when you got a refill they only filled your cup up half way.

Missed the boat - Did not actually go on it so I can not comment on the trip we got stuck in traffic so we were late and they sailed away without us

Booking cancelled - Booked my trip 4 months in advance then I get a notification 10 days away that my booking has been cancelled with no reason why? And now obviously that date is booked up so I cannot rebook.
