Pleasant day trip - We really enjoyed this tour although it was completely in Spanish and we were not always sure what we were being told. Another guest helped us with some information. We sat at the front of the boat and the waves were very big. We were absolutely soaked by the time we arrived at the beach and laughed through it all. One thing to know is that you must rent a chair there for 10000 cop. The meals were good. I had the fish and it was fresh and tasty. The water was beautiful and refreshing for a swim. We didnt sail to the beach but they put up the jib for a short time on the way back with the motor still doing most of the work. Im not sure if that is the norm or if it was because of wind. There are some snacks and drinks offered as well during the trip. They have a paddle board that you can use and they will also take you for a short snorkeling trip nearby after the lunch. I would recommend this tour

The location marked on... - The location marked on the app of where to go is wrong, it’s on the other side of the Marina. It was a great day though. Very relaxing. Was just as they wrote it up, and we enjoyed it a lot.

Worth it. - We left on time, did not use the sails on the way to Bahia Concha but did use the front sail on the way back. In full disclosure the headwind going out was quite strong that we would have had to zigzag for ever. The crew was very attentive and professional. We had 22 passengers and it felt full but not uncomfortable. At the beach we were offered plastic chairs under the shade of a tree for about $3. Lunchtime came in batches and was quite tasty. Sone went snorkeling after and described it as nice. Came back to the marina around 5:30 pm. Full and enjoyable day. Not a true pure sailing experience but recommended nevertheless

Amazing boat trip to Tayrona! - What a day!! Sailing to Bahia Concha was a great experience, and the beach was beautiful!! I am soooo glad we did this trip. I was worried it would be similar to the beaches you hike to in the national park but it’s not - it’s a better beach. It’s the longest beach in Tayrona and we parked up on the quieter side so it was lovely and relaxing. Might not be as pretty or picturesque as some of the other beaches in the National park but it wasn’t over crowded (like cabo San Juan, la piscina, etc), and the sand was nicer. Cold drinks available all day, even beers! The lunch was fantastic - we had the grilled fish and would go back just to have this lunch again! Snorkelling was fun and we saw a lot of sea life , but visibility wasn’t great. If the main reason you’re doing the trip is for snorkelling you may be disappointed. The crew were amazing, they even let us try fishing at the end of the day which wasn’t part of the tour. Unfortunately we didn’t catch anything 🥲

Catamaran day trip - Very good value for money. Time anchored at beech was over 3 hours and much too long Description quotes. During the trip, we will share interesting stories and curiosities about the park and its people. We’ll also set up our fishing rods along the way. Neither of these were provided Regrettably Luis did not accompany us and the crew only spoke Spanish which detracts from the trip If visiting on a.cruise ship I would highly recommend this day out The coral on the snorkelling trip was some of the best that I have enjoyed

Great day out to a beach... - Great day out to a beach in Tyrona Park. The tour was good value and lunch was delicious. The team on the boat were very welcoming. Unfortunately Luis wasn't on the tour so we had no English translation and missed a lot of the information provided on the trip. It was still enjoyable and worth a go

Day trip from Santa marta to Tayrona beach. Amazing staff, they team couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful - The boat was extremely slow, we were overtaken by every other boat and it took away time from visiting beaches. If I’d know. I would r have done this

This tour was... - This tour was disappointing. You get taken to one super busy beach and stay there for the whole day, there is no shade on the boat and not much on the beach unless you pay for it. We were the only English speakers (but with enough Spanish to understand basic instructions) and were ignored and given no information all day. Also, if you use the bathroom make sure someone comes to let you out because there is no way to open the toilet door from the inside.
