Full description
Embark on an unforgettable speedboat adventure through the majestic bay of Cartagena, with a first stop in front of the imposing castles of Bocachica, historic guardians of the city. The tour continues with a panoramic ride through the charming Rosario Islands, followed by a stop at San Quintín Island, where you will be greeted by colorful coral fish in crystal clear waters.
Then, we will stop at San Martín de Pajarales Island, where you will have to choose between two incredible experiences: visiting the Aquarium or snorkeling. • At the Aquarium, you will marvel at a fascinating dolphin and shark show and meet a wide variety of marine species such as turtles, coral fish, lobsters, octopuses, and seahorses.
• If you choose to snorkel, you will have a unique experience swimming in a vibrant coral reef. You will explore more than 40 species of coral and be surrounded by multicolored fish with which you can swim and play in their natural habitat. In addition, we will take a panoramic tour of the natural bird sanctuary on Isla del Pavito, where you will see more than 15 species of seabirds, including the impressive frigate bird, known as "the pirate of the skies." The next stop will be Isla Grande, where you will have the opportunity to see the mysterious plane sunk in its waters.
Finally, we will arrive at Playa Blanca, Barú (Playa Tranquila sector), where you will enjoy a delicious traditional lunch and have time to relax at an exclusive beach club facing the sea, with all the amenities you need to end the day with a truly unforgettable experience. Throughout the tour, you will be accompanied by a bilingual tour guide who will provide valuable information and enrich each stage of the trip.
Important: Due to time constraints, you must choose between visiting the Aquarium or snorkeling, as it is not possible to do both. Snorkeling is included in the tour; admission to the Aquarium is an additional cost. If you choose the snorkeling option, we recommend wearing beach shoes.
