Fantastic day. - The tour group was very efficient. I was met at the curb, signed in, helped thru paying the port fee and directed where to wait. Once on the boat there was a safety briefing in English and Spanish and told what to expect. Safety was a prime concern. Historical facts about the areas we visited were narrated. During the snorkeling at least two crew members were with us at all times to ensure safety. When we arrived at the beach / lunch stop there were stairs available to help get in and out of the boat. Other tours I’ve had to climb over the side which I didn’t feel comfortable with. Lunch was organized and very good. The beach was wonderful. Andrea, Carlos and Ruben were great. I had a wonderful time.

Visit Playa Blanca - It is a beautiful walk, for those who like aquarium is worth a walk in the oceanarium, but the time is short if they swim with the dolphins which costs a slightly high value to stay 5min swimming with them. Playa Blanca is spectacular super recommended.

Wonderful experience - Wonderful experience! You have to be at 8:30 AM on the dock to leave in the boat at 9 AM. Explanations are given at the beginning and during each stop and in the intervening periods you hear varied music (which I appreciate is not only reggaeton) in both English and Spanish. It gives 1 hour of time to those who go to the oceanarium and 45 min to those who snorkel. Then you go to a club in Playa Blanca called The Wizard Paloquemao for 2 1/2 hours where you have lunch either chicken, fish, egg rice or vegetarian. You have the right to use the chairs and beds on site. Drinks are NOT included. At the end you return to the dock around 4 pm. As a suggestion it would be good to use microphone in the boat so that you can hear everything explained well. Overall the team was wonderful

Great experience - We had an amazing boat tour to the Rosario Islands and spent a fantastic day at Playa Blanca. Everything was very well organized, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. Our tour guides, Benjamin Carlo ,Jose and Milciades, were excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive to the group. They truly made the experience special. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Great tour! - This was a great experience! It was the perfect amount of time and stops. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want a mix of swimming and beach time. If you get seasick I would recommend bringing something to help. The boat was rocky on the way home. My friend who has done other Rosario island tours enjoyed this tour the most. Lunch was also delicious!

Incredible experience - This tour was amazing and I’d rate it a 10/10 (or higher). Carlos and Andrea were so fun and helpful, and couldn’t have been better guides. My daughter got scared in the water while snorkeling and Carlos was so patient and helpful with her . The food was great, boat was nice, and we had a wonderful time. We went with a Colombian friend who has gone to the Rosario islands before, and she was blown away by how good this tour was. She said it was so much better than the ones she’d gone on before. Highly recommend!!
