Cartagena's Ultimate Islands: Premium 5-Island VIP Escape

Alex was the best tour guide very attentive to everyone needs & wants was on time for everything and always made sure we was safe

Had a great time. Drinks are a fraction more expensive than the states but you’re in an island so it’s undesirable. Overall, great experiment if you’re looking to party.

originally booked this with my friends because it listed a bioluminescent plankton activity at the end of the tour. we didn’t get that. the whole system was very disorganized and they had us waiting at the meeting point for over an hour and then hearded us onto a bus to wait at a dock for another half hour in the hot sun - this was 2 hours of the morning total and they never told us what was going on. boat tour didn’t even start until 10 am. they then brought us to 2 different areas to “snorkel” for 20 minutes. one only showing a small sunken plane and the other nobody got out since we just got back in the boat 5 mins before that (i did though and the reef was pretty). they then took us to cholon where it was advertised we would be there for an hour and a half and we stayed for well over two hours (this is where i came tk the conclusion that although this is advertised as a 5 island tour it’s mostly a cholon boat). we were then brought to a small island and given plastic lawn chairs and fruit for another 20 mins and then were brought to another island where we were told to hangout in a bar. it was weird and at no moment did we know what was happening next. the tour driver kept staring at me in a bikini. and we didn’t see the plankton.

William was an outstanding tour guide, and we had an amazing time. The tour was lively and full of fun, but definitely pay attention when he's sharing details—it’s worth it! Also, be sure to ask about pricing before purchasing anything on the islands. I was charged $50 USD for one drink but that’s not the tours fault, William helped talk it down from $70. Recommend bringing your own drinks. Overall, the experience was fantastic!

The trip was amazing! The best island but most expensive was Cholon and Baru. You are allowed to bring your own alcohol would highly recommend. The best part of our tour was the tour guide, we were lucky enough to end up with Camilo. He was the best guide, super funny and great vibes definitely made the trip worth it.

Melanie was such a great guide. This was a very cool experience. Although I felt hush on certain things. CAUTION!! You have to pay attention to the guide. They say important information so stop talking and pay attention. There was a few people on the same trip left barefoot because of this. Bring your own towel and swing gear and water shoes and cash. You can take a card but they will have a up to 15% surcharge to use it . If you want to make this trip better for yourself. Almost ever island stop has drinks for sale and food. Some have extra activities for you to purchase as well like jetskis and banana pull boats. Overall I'll do it again next time I'm here!!

This tour was amazing! Jafet was an awesome tour guide. This tour truly gives you your money worth. I definitely recommend!

The guides were great and we had fun. I suggest that they also communicate in advance about what you should wear and what you should bring with you. Also, there’s a long gap in activities after the lunch break and the phosphorus display. I was wondering unaware about this. The stop with the tables in the water was fun and entertaining, but all of the vendors was so intense.

Wow! Wow!! What an experience/ experiment. Your guide Carlos was good. Meeting place at a little restaurant filled with Hagglers only wanting to sell you something, courteous but have to stand firm on your No thanks. Trip to boat was interesting passed through the market. Boat ride was cool until it started raining sorry storming. I thought Beryl(storm) was upon us. But God brought us through. We rested till the hard rain passed before we really got to see what the 5 island tour was all about. All the islands we visited was someplace you wouldn't want to leave once you landed for the 30-45 min. Food was great. All in all great trip. If it rains wait until the sun come out, the seas don't play. Love it would do it again on a sunny day though.

Petro was a lovely friendly host and we had fun. But gosh this took a massive chunk out of our budget and honestly wasn’t worth it. Open bar on the boat is actually just water and beer. We were rushed at both snorkelling sites and couldn’t see anything as way too many people and boats making the water unclear plus no mouth piece given just goggles. The islands themselves are mediocre and you are stuck paying insane prices for drinks. The lunch included was nice. If you wait for the luminous plankton you will have to buy an expensive basic dinner or go hungry whilst you wait. In total with the ticket price and add ons I spent over £80 which is insane to spend one day in Columbia. Which I read the reviews beforehand and chose otherwise. It is still a fun day out if money is no issue for you.
