5 island tour - This was an incredible outing. The stops included an aquatic wildlife sanctuary, a party island, and a stop for lunch. The drop off location was at the clock tower. Overall the entire day was outstanding

Amazing time with genuine people! - Booked this trip for Christmas Day. I didn’t know what to fully to expect but the itinerary is pretty spot on. I had the greatest time meeting and interacting with other foreigners and the guide David. David is very knowledgeable and a great guide who will ensure you have the best time. Highly recommended!

La Familia - This experience was absolutely fantastic. I would give anybody advice to travel to Colombia and join Unique Travel. The person you need to get in contact with is Jennifer Osorio.

Been there done that - For those who like the Mood crazy party the experience will be great. For those looking for a quieter Mood, I do not recommend.
Joel was a very attentive, careful and friendly guide.

Look Elsewhere for a better experience - Unorganized, Unsafe, and Unfriendly pretty much sums up the trip. First, the guide, David, did not do a good job of consolidating all tour participants in a timely fashion. We were supposed to meet for the tour at 0800. Did not get moving until 0840. We were two folks short and David did not take action to determine whereabouts. I personally saw the two tour participants at the launch site but they were put on a different boat because no one was taking roll call to see where everyone was at. After we left and were in the open ocean, David became aware that the two tour participants were in another boat and an open ocean transfer of the participants was done in violation of safety rules. Talking about safety, our tour crew did not provide us life vests nor did they ask if we had any weak swimmers even though we were traveling at high speeds in initial inclement weather to the tour sites. We saw that other boats had provided their tour participants life vests so our crew took unnecessary risks with our lives.
From a social point of view, David did not make an effort to introduce the tour participants nor continuously engage with them. No one knew each other and the tour group remained fragmented throughout the excursion. David remained very low energy throughout the tour except on the third island of Cholon which, in our opinion, is a dirty enclave of people partying--in a manner not friendly for families. Lot of overpriced drinks, cigar smoking, trash in the water and twerking and other types of provocative dancing taking place.
Islands 1, 2, 4, and 5 are more family friendly. The snorkeling was nice. Would recommend looking at other tour operators for a better experience.

Horrible. No choking islands. No fruit or cocktail tasting. No communication and no refund - Absolutely terrible. Bad weather the previous day led them to change the tour from party to family friendly. We didn’t go to two of the listed party islands, didn’t do the shrimp cocktail tasting or fruit tasting on the islands we still did go to. Genuinely horrible. We paid a premium price for a completely different experience. We believe we were put on the wrong boat as we was with children and family’s but when communicated to tour guides was told we was wrong and ignored by the WhatsApp help

Excursion null - We did the excursion with OK cartagenatours, it's a real scam.To flee absolutely. We paid dearly to make the 5 islands. In the end, the only thing we do is boat, piled up like sardines (profitability requires). We made two islands and some snorkeling. There's a lot of cartagene excursions, too bad we picked the wrong one.
