Perfect Day Trip!!!
Erin_P, May 2023
Perfect day trip for family or couple. Tour guide was amazing she made sure to translate everything for us since there was another group on the tour who only spoke Spanish. Very accommodating with pick up included, free fresh bananas and guava while on the beach with a great lunch included. Only downside is they charged full price for my two year old toddler and the ride leading to the beach was extremely bumpy along with a steep rocky hill you needed to walk down to get to the actual beach. But once there we took a 3 minute boat ride further down the beach where it was way more private and less crowded.

Great beach and water.
Francisco_M, Aug 2022
The beach, water and staff were great. What I found was that the area were the bus dropped us off was very disturbing. It was very dirty with trash all over and it was very difficult to walk to the beach. Also, the people trying to sell you stuff were very annoying and sometimes intimidating. Once we were taken by boat to our section everything was great but still had people trying to sell stuff.

Dear custorme, it´s a really pleasure tu us read your opinion, and know that you liked the beach. About the way that you have to walk to take the boat, we really sorry about it, we are going to let know to the autoritys for get help in this part, and work with them to give a soon solution to this problem. About the selling people, remember that it is a public beach and they can work there, and that's the reason why we go to an apart beach, although this is not totally set apart of this problem but is less than on the other beaches of the zone. We are working everyday to do the best for our customer and that´s why is important to us this types of opinions. We hope that you can come back to Cartagena and take again this tour with us to bring you a best service. Best regards.
ENJOY PLAYA BLANCA
Philip_L, May 2021
The trip overall was very good BUT, you MUST be VERY CLEAR with the ladies that do the massages on the beach or they will overcharge you without question. They will try to charge you 100,000 pesos when you can have them done for 80,000 pesos or less for an hour. Make sure you have the PRICE for massage and anything you buy on the beach Before They Start and before you buy anything!! The driver was excellent, 5 stars, and he will handle everything for you at the beach from best beach location to chairs and towels to food, which is VERY GOOD!! The water is like in the Bahamas!! YES, there are LOTS of beach vendors but, go with the flow and just say No Gracias. They will.keep coming by but, after a couple of refusals, they will thin out. The tour and location is well worth having to deal with the vendors as, they are not rude or obnoxious, just very persistent, lol!! Leave the attitude at home, kick back relax and enjoy the country, this company is the BEST!! I WOULD RATE THE COMPANY 5 STARS PLUS FOR COST, PROFESSIONALISM and overall FUN!! ENJOY!!

Great Tour Guide with Amazing Beaches
Marlon_B, Oct 2019
The experience overall was great. The only thing I would change are the amount of vendors on the beach and their persistence to try to sell you something. Even the women who offer messages were just a bit much. Of course none of this is at the fault of the tour or the tour guide. If the government of the department or state could regulate the vendors more, the experience would have been a lot better. It was hard to just relax and soak up some sun when you're constantly approached by vendors to buy something. Again, this is not the fault of the tour company or the tour guide; it was just my overall experience.

Cheap price for a nice place to be...
Arno V, Jan 2018
Cheap price for a nice place to be. Better than the beaches at Bocagrande. But even at Playa Blanca you are accompanied by people selling their stuf...
