It was a really nice full day trip on a boat. There were great cocktails and food provided during the trip. We stopped in 2 places to have a chance to go to water. They also gave us snorkeling gear so you could try that too. Overall it was a great fun for everyone. Make sure to bring something to protect you from the sun.

This trip was great! We went with our two kids ages 3 and 5. I think it was the perfect trip for them. Lunch was provided and the kids were able to get chicken nuggets and fries while we were able to get the seafood lunch, which was good. I’d give it 5 stars, except that I don’t believe we made it all the way to the Rosario Islands. I checked our GPS and we seemed to have stopped short of them. Either way, I was fine with it though.

Had a wonderful day on this big and beautiful catamaran. The crew is very nice and friendly, and the Catamaran itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable. The crows was mixed so everyone could have a fun day wether as group of friends or as a family. As expected (and as most reviews mention), there is not much to see under water while snorkeling, but that's the case in most of the Colombian coast so it wasn't a surprise. The overall experience was still great - I think its one of the best activities to do in Cartagena so highly recommended!
