This seven-hour island hopping boat tour departs from Cartagena and includes five stops in the Rosario Islands area. The tour begins with a sightseeing stop near Tierra Bomba Island to view the historic Bocachica Fort from the boat, allowing time for photos and a brief explanation. Depending on the chosen option, the itinerary varies. The Ecological Tour starts at 8:00 AM and uses shuttle boat transport. It includes three main stops of one and a half hours each: Marina Island, Grande Island, and Rosario Island. Before lunch at Grande Island, participants can snorkel for about 30 to 45 minutes at a nearby fish habitat using a mask and snorkel tube. Lunch is served on Rosario Island with choices of fish, chicken, or vegetarian dishes. Guests can relax on beach beds under parasols during breaks. The VIP Tour runs from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and travels by comfort speedboat. It includes three premium stops of one and a half hours each: Islabela Island, a private beach club on Rosario Island where lunch is served, and an award-winning island resort. Snorkeling is included before lunch at the fish habitat. The Party Tour also starts at 8:30 AM and uses shuttle boat transport. It includes lively stops at Baru Island, Grande Island for lunch, and Cholon Island, known for its crowded and noisy beach club atmosphere with many vendors. This option does not include snorkeling. All tours provide bilingual guides and access to beds and parasols at island stops. The Ecological Tour ends relaxing on Rosario Island, the VIP Tour concludes at the island resort, and the Party Tour finishes at Cholon Island. A tourist port tax fee is required on the day of the tour but is not included in the price. Swimwear is mandatory, and guests must arrange their own transportation to and from the meeting point.

Itinerary
Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica
All three tour options (VIP, Ecological, and Party) include a stop near Tierra Bomba Island to view the historic Bocachica Fort from the boat, allowing guests to take photos and learn about its colonial history.
5 min
Isla Baru
The Party Tour's first stop is at a lively beach club on either Baru Playa Blanca or Grande Island. Baru Island is reserved exclusively for this option due to its crowded, vendor-heavy environment, which is excluded from family-friendly tours. Public islands like Cholon and Baru are generally unmaintained, noisy, and crowded with vendors, so the Party Tour should be selected with this in mind.
