    Beautiful but poor service
    Adele_C, Jan 2023
    The islands were beautiful. Tour was however unstructured and a bit of a mess. We spent most time in the bus or on a boat. Very little time at the islands. We wanted an English speaking guide. We had a guide who spoke English but chose to write a translated messaged to us instead which is really only half an experience. You can tell Spanish speaking we're getting a lot more information. When we got to each place nothing was translated to us at all so we had no clue what was happening. It just ruins the experience really. There was one guest who spoke some English who helped now and again but this shouldn't be the case. I think 4 hours on playa blanca at the end was far too long. We started to want to go before plankton (as did a few others) and they say unless we pay more transport we had to do plankton which isn't nice really. It wasn't well communicated that if you don't want do plankton leave at 3pm. Especially if you spoke any language but Spanish. Plankton was an absolute nightmare. A lot of people in life jackets that could not swim, grabbing you and floating away (boat staff or guide didn't help so we found we had to). It was really chaos and even with a life jacket there should be a level of swimming skill, just to ensure you can atleast kick in one place . We paid around £20 for photography which the experience again was poor. I recommend only booking if you are Spanish. If you speak any other language they do not accommodate you. We had to shout them and assert how poor the service was to actually get any photos. They spent so much time with one family, I mean about 25 minutes of a 40 minute stop. We had minimal taken. Not impressed. Guide was nice but not accommodating. We are now staying on playa blanca and tours to the island are offered for half the price than this. 80,000COP pp. I'd advise doing a tour from the island as I have no idea what we spent £65 pp on for this. Plankton is also offered for even less.

    El tour de nuestras vidas
    SOLEDAD_V, Jan 2023
    Pésimo tour, snorkel pobre, playas sucias, viaje en lancha inseguro con conductor haciendo competencia de velocidad con otra embarcación. La comida muy mala, pobre y salada. Lugar para comer incómodo, llenísimo de gente. Plancton no lo hicimos por terror a volver a subír a la lancha. Espera de 2 horas en el estacionamiento para salir a Cartagena de vuelta.

    El tour es muy completo, se entiende que las agencias hacen su trabajo para poderte dar una buena experiencia en medio del caos de las playas de cartagena. Los lugares son muy bonitos, sin duda alguna recomendaria la actividad del plancton luminoso es una de las experiencias mas magicas que he tenido. Mucho cuidado con los locales que ofrecen servicios te puden llegar hacer pasar un mal rato
