5 Islands Tour with Lunch, Plankton and Snorkeling in Cartagena

Explore around Rosario Islands, Cholon and Baru, experience the teeming wildlife and coral reefs of Cartagena by visiting its surrounding islands where each stop offers a unique contrast from the other. From quiet beaches to wonderfully alive spots, take part in snorkeling, swimming, and the history of the city as you move from islands.

Snorkeling in Cartagena, Colombia will give you a chance to deep dive into the underwater world and get familiar with the sea life. Largely unexplored, the coral reefs here are a thing of pure magic. Set your mind free as you put on your snorkeling gear and swim with the sea wildlife.

If you want to opt out of this last stop, you can leave early and head back on the shuttle. But since the ticket price does include this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we highly recommend you stick around and watch as the entire sea turns electric blue!
