Cartagena Island Tours

The sea of seven colors is closer than you think. Day trips to the Rosario Islands, Baru, and Tierra Bomba, by boat, with lunch and a local crew who knows the water.

The Rosario Islands sit about 45 to 60 minutes by boat from Cartagena, a protected archipelago of coral reefs, mangroves, and water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue. Baru is reachable by road or sea and holds the white sand of Playa Blanca. Tierra Bomba is the closest of all, minutes across the bay.

Which island day suits you depends on the pace you want. Island hopping covers the most ground and ends with the glowing plankton. A single beach club is slower, and better if you want a lounger and a long lunch. Tell us what you picture and we will point you to the right one.

Frequently asked
How far are the Rosario Islands from Cartagena?

Roughly 45 to 60 minutes by boat, depending on the vessel and sea conditions. Departures are in the morning from a dock in Cartagena, confirmed on WhatsApp when you book.

What is the difference between the island tours?

Island hopping tours visit several islands in one day. Beach club days take you to one spot to relax with a lounger, lunch, and facilities. Both include nautical transport.

Do I need to swim?

No. Snorkeling and swimming are optional on every tour. Many travelers spend the day on a lounger or in shallow water.

Is a dock tax included?

Some island and beach club tours do not include the dock tax or aquarium entry. Each tour page lists what is and is not included, and we confirm the details on WhatsApp.
