The boat tour was... - The boat tour was incredible. It was 2 couples so we were looking for a laid back experience. They took us to a quiet area for swimming and a private beach. We chose to skip cholon and went to the lunch spot. It was a little pricey for lunch, but the tour was great. Highly recommend

Great excursion - We were on the 29' boat, seas were a little rough but boat operator was very experienced and made the ride comfortable and safe. Great snorkel spot, gear provided. They took us to an island for lunch, chicken was good and Pina Coladas the best I've ever had. Fun day, crew speaks very little English, bring your translator if you don't speak Spanish. Highly recommend

Perfect boat day! Highly recommend! - We had a fabulous time island hopping for my 50th birthday. Our crew were funny, kind, and extremely accommodating. We were so glad we chose the private tour after seeing the group tour boats packed shoulder to shoulder with tourists. We got to “call the shots” and lingered longer on some islands, while just passing by others. It was a perfect day.

Great experience - The boat was similar to pictured and was great! They took us to many places to snorkel and the water was clear and amazing. They were accommodating in picking us up in Baru instead of Cartagena, which I appreciated it. Communication was great ahead of time. However, they did not speak English at all so communication on board was limited.

Amazing tour - but bring your own lunch - It was awesome to see the private islands on tour. The only major issue we had was the cost of lunch. We were essentially scammed by the local island restaurants, with price hikes 5x what a normal restaurant would cost. If you are to take this tour I recommend bringing your own lunch. Otherwise it was a great time!

Travelers need to be... - Travelers need to be aware that the boat is small and water is choppy with large swells. Captain did a great job piloting boat. I liked that we could customize the experience but it was disorganized. Staff had very limited English and it was difficult to communicate. I didn’t like that we were guilted into buying the captain and first mate lunch and then they still expected a gratuity. I recommend that they give a safety message before departure and advise travellers on where to find life jackets. Some of our group loved the excursion and others did not. Overall, this is not for everyone.
