    Crooks operating as tour operators
    Elaine_R, Feb 2024
    This tour operator and its staff were simply crooks and they ruined my big birthday celebration in Cartagena. Honestly, they should be prosecuted. First, I meticulously planned this trip as I was bringing a group of 23 people (comprising adults and kids). I wanted a big boat with multiple levels and paid for a 40-foot boat. However, they brought a boat that was half the size of what I paid for. It was tight, easily susceptible to the waves and everyone on the boat was soaked with water while on the tour. Second, the tour was supposed to be a 5-island tour. However, we went to only 1 island (Rosario Island). Third, the food and drinks at Rosario Islands were supposed to be included. However, the operators colluded with the Rosario Islands folks as they claimed that we still owed $500 after lunch and wouldn’t let us leave until we paid it. It was obviously a con job as the tour operators stood by and watched as we were fleeced (even after confirming that everything was included on the Island). Fourth, after we left Rosario Island, the operator took the boat to a shallow area of the sea, where they were some scary pirate-looking rascals (about 10 of them). The operator stopped the boat there claiming to be stuck in shallow water as the “pirates” got on board and demanded money from us to let us go/push the boat out of the shallow area (where the operator claimed we were stuck). The operator again stepped back and allowed the “pirates” to have their way with us. We ended up paying $300 to them. Again, this was obviously a con job with the operator in collusion. Lastly, my wallet containing all my credit cards, ID and $800 in cash went missing on this tour. I have no doubt that I was the victim of pickpocketing by the operators. They were about 5 people from the tour operator that were with us on the boat. All attempts to recover my wallet were unsuccessful. This operator should at least be banned from conducting tours as they are despicable and shady.

    1st we do not operate the weather, and the day before your trip was red flag and your day trip was yellow flag, and we advise you that no one of our captains wanted to go to the islands because of the warning about the weather but you did not pay attention and still decide to go. 2nd for sure about the warning on the sea you can’t do snorkeling, you can’t visit other islands and thank good at least we take you to an island who open that day and help us to give you the lunch service. 3rd the drinks were included on board the boat not at the islands, if you out of the boat wanted to drink something you must pay it and for that reason they charge you extra for it. 4th Again for the weather Conditions you decided to go and always even when isn’t the yellow flag is choppy the return imagine how bad will be that day. Then the captain for safety choose another way to return by a canal for his and your safety. 5th we got picture and videos of you really drunk dancing on the front of the boat where you almost felt down this place, and where maybe you also loose your walled. Next time please be more conscientious about your decisions and accept that you choose to go in this trips with this weather conditions that for sure were not the best and therefore the reason why everything goes in the way it was.
    Horrible

    If I could give it a zero, I would have. Please do not book this excursion, it’s a waste of money. We went to only 3 islands instead of five and it was boring. The first island they just dumping us there because we did not want to do the snorkeling, 2 island which was supposed to be the party island was dead and boring, no music, we just spend 2 hrs there and ate lunch, third island was the same, boring and ugly. Venders harassing you and one even stole my money and ran with it after I brought something and did not have exact change. Be careful with these vendors. If you want to have a good time, just go to playa Blanca. THIS TOUR IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY! The boat was small, so don’t expect the boat you see on the picture, drinks were just beer and water. Food ok, again not worth $120! I was so mad, I have booked many excursions with viator, I have never had an experience like that. Music is as almost non exist and not good communication and ambiance on the boat or the islands.

    I'm so sorry about you dont read what about was the tour before book it. 1. Is Clrealy explained that one of the island is a panoramic view and the last is for those who deice to stay until the end for plancton activity. 2. the Party island will depend on people who go to party (we dont make a party for you, with this attitude you will never enjoy even the Brazilian carnival), and we also explained that is party because of the boats around. 3. Is also well explained that all the islands and places to visit are public places, and we are sorry for that vendor who stole your money. 4. We never show a boat on the pictures because will depend on how many people is going to choose the size and type of boat. the only picture with a boat on it, is the picture that shows MANY boats on the party island. 5. Next time remember that attitude is everything for an experience. and if you are so picky for it, try to book a private experience next time.
