    Lots of fun
    Patricia_B, Dec 2023
    We had lots of fun, the boat trip was very informative, lunch was delicious and the islands very entertaining.

    Beware ... this is not the trip for anyone. Period
    Srikanth_P, Mar 2023
    After lot of research we settled on this tour. Sadly this has been the low point of entire stay in Cartagena. Anyone used to high quality tours, this is not going to meet the expectation. The summary is as follow 1. Picked up from the hotel late - 30 min past the time 2. Drove for 2 hrs to blanca beach. 3. The beach entrance is quite something. It doesnt have a normal road. Took about 30 min to traverse probably 500 yards. Having been on Indian roads, this was a shock to me. Felt like i was on Mars with craters 4. Walk from the parking lot to the beach - well there were literally million people in small place. There is no place to navigate,. Not to mention that i lost my money in this process (my mistake) 5. After another 45 min wait .. get on to a speed boat with basic ladder hangin on the side of the boat 6. Go on a boat for 45 min to show couple of islands 7. Snorkel with head gear, no air tube or flippers. This was not what i had expected 8. after snorkel go to island with party, This is ecoli in the making,. Probably 500,000 folks in cramped beach 9. Back to Blanca beach for some food 10. Back to hotel Net net the time we spent in water - 1.5 hr This is really not worth the trip. Recommend hire a private boat for island tour would be my recommendation. We were glad to be back in one piece... just couldnt get off this tour

    Thanks for leaving your comment! We as Agencia Costeña Travel regret not having been able to meet all your expectations on this occasion, but believe me that we work hard so that our clients have fun and enjoy our services, we regret everything that happened, but we thank you for giving us your opinion because it helps us to work on your disagreements and improve to offer an excellent service.
    There was no hotel drop...
    Luigi_C, Jan 2023
    There was no hotel drop off. They leave you on the dock, their are no snacks or water offered while on the boat. You do not eat until the very end!
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    We are very sorry that you had a negative experience and we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback. At Costeña Travel we take feedback very seriously, as our priority is to ensure that all clients receive an exceptional experience. In the description of our tour it is reported that the return to the hotel is not included, I will verify again that this information is visible to travelers. Our tour ends at the dock, as for the Snacks, a bottle of water is included, and a fruit tasting and shrimp cocktail, I will do an internal investigation with our guides to find out why they did not give them what was included. We appreciate your useful and constructive criticism, which will help us to improve our service in the future. We hope you will visit us again soon and allow us to exceed your expectations.
    Nice boat trip, but not enjoyable/relaxing beaches and bars/restaurants
    Mrcio_R, Jan 2023
    The boat is quite good, clean, good speed, comfortable to acommodate about 12-15 people. The best part of the trip, no doubt. The view and trip were really nice. The guide agent reaches you in your hotel, which is good to find the way (walking through the centre) to the boat. Two stops for free diving, but they just gave a glass/mask without snorkel, making more difficult to enjoy since there is no deck or support to rest during the swimmning/diving. Another stop in a beach restaurant - new and clean, but swimming pool not clean/usable and stereo/sound extremely high, drinks too expensive. Stop in Isla del Cholon - too crowded, noisy and dirty, maybe enjoyable for teenagers or youngest looking for free fun and other things... Another stop not even worthy mentioning.... Last stop to lunch at Playa Blanca, which is usually unbelievably crowded - the beach restaurant was somewhat calm, food ok, but not high standard (there was no running water to wash hands - only the same bucket for everyone...). So, if you want to find a good day trip to Islas del Rosario I suggest to try to find a agency shop and discuss in more detail about the stops, and understand if they fit your expectation. It is impossible to guess from the internet advertisement, and each agency has its own partners (beach restaurants, etc).

    Sentimos mucho que haya tenido una experiencia negativa y le agradecemos que haya dedicado su tiempo a enviarnos un comentario. En Costeña Travel nos tomamos las opiniones muy enserio, ya que nuestra prioridad es garantizar que todos los clientes reciban una experiencia excepcional. También nos alegra saber que el servicio fue de su agrado y disfruto mucho de nuestro bote y su velocidad. Es verdad que en la isla puede llegar a ser un poco ruidoso cuando esta lleno. Agradecemos sus criticas, útiles y constructivas, que nos ayudarían a mejorar nuestro servicio en el futuro. Esperamos que vuelva a visitarnos pronto y que nos permita superar sus expectativas.
    El tour no tenia nada de...
    joha181, Jan 2023
    El tour no tenia nada de Premium, era un tour habitual donde habían demasiadas personas y nadie tenia su espacio personal. La comida era muy poquito, y no se podía disfrutar de la playa cómodamente, porque solo se podía utilizar el espacio que tenia el restaurante. El bus de retorno estaba viejo y sucio.
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Gracias por su apreciacion, lamentamos que por la temporada alta y la fuerte demanda que tiene este tour usted no haya podido suplir sus expectativas, pero aun asi es fundamental para nosotros conocer su experiencia porque nos ayuda a mejorar cada dia en la prestacion de nuestros servicios.
