Great tour of beaches, enough time to enjoy each beach.

Yiftah_N, Apr 2024

Great tour, lots of fun. We visited 4 beaches that take a long time to get to in other ways, so it's definetly better. In each beach we had just the right amount of time to swim, relax and enjoy and then move on. Lunch was great (I had the fish) and the boat staff were professional and skilled so I felt safe even when we encountered sone rough waves in the open sea and they also had plenty of water and snacks (beer for sale too) for the entire group. Highly recommend.

Perfecto!

Christopher_S, Feb 2024

This is a definitely an excursion worth doing. It is a full day on and in the water. Three nice beaches to visit. And, the snorkeling was close to shore and really nice. Plenty of drinks and snacks provided, and lunch too. Our guide and Captain were awesome. This excursion was a “10”…

Very Good experience and very stressing “non infos “

Michel_D, Jan 2024

The positive points: staff of the boat was excellent and Oscar tried his VERY best to speak English with my wife not speaking Spanish at all. The tour has been the one forecasted. Perfect 😉 The problems now: the address was not good and we couldn’t be secure and had to ask to several persons where to go. Stressing!!! Everybody asked us the name of the boat but we never get this info… stressing again when time is passing and that we worried to loose the departure. This logistic problem should be strictly improved. The boss of the company didn’t contact us although our request two times…🥵

Amazing experience to see Tayrona by sea!

Shelby_B, Jan 2024

Hands down one of the best boat trips I have done! Great way to see Tayrona by sea in addition to hiking. The magenta pool was incredible by the ocean!

Best economic trip to the best beaches

Roberto_M, Sep 2023

great experience. We visited the most beautiful beaches of all of them. Not all yours offer them. They don’t go that far. 1 hour too long, We stayed a bit too long on the 1st two beaches, that. By the time we went to the 3rd, although 30 min was perfect time, we were all all ready exhausted and burned. There was no emergency kit, we had a few people cut from corals, they used vinegar. Not something we are used to. Overall, I feel most bout turd are like this one, but this one offered better beaches. And the food was excellent and the guide Camilo and the boat driver ate the nicest most helpful guys. They deserve a good tip

The best way to enjoy the...

Sandra_M, Jul 2023

The best way to enjoy the most amazing Santa Marta's beaches in one day. Great service 100% recommended.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for coming and for your valuable review. In the end, the most important thing is your opinion.

Worth the Trip

Shawnea_T, Jul 2023

The trip was just as described. the operators were knowledgable, kind, helpful and dependable. They managed the seas and navigating to and from the beaches well. We had a wonderful time and would recommend the trip to any adventurer. The lunch was very good, the beaches and scenery beautiful and the snorkeling great!

Nice beaches and scenery

Tnis_G, Jan 2023

It was nice day trip from Santa Marta. Beaches and scenery are absolutely beutiful. Ride there and back might be bit bumpy in the waves with not so big boat. I did not mind it, was fun experience, but might be more tricky for elderly and young kids. Food at lunch was decent. I booked to trip in English - there were biligual people waiting in Marina and organizing the start of the trip and getting on the boat. But this was sadly when and where the English part ended. Had to rely on handful of other people from the trip who spoke English, which wasnt the option I paid for. Additionally probably would be good to spend less time in first beach and more on Playa Cristal which is the nicest of them all. Lunch in Playa Cristal took big chunk of time, leaving not much time to spend on absolutely gorgeous beach But in general good tour and would recomend anyone who wishes to go to reallt nice beaches outside usual Santa Marta city beaches. FYI please be advised that those beaches are in remote location and there will not be any cell service, which is good for detox from internet but if traveling solo, please let your friends and family know that you are unreachable for 8-9 hours.

Good snorkeling Bad Food

Lara_B, Nov 2022

The snorkeling was good however the lunch and food was not what we expected for the price paid. The food needs improvement!!!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Lara, Thank you for visiting and sharing with us. Thanks for your observations. As you could see in the Tayrona Park there are not many places where you can eat. We visited what we consider to be the best. In my many years doing this, I note that you are the first person to make this observation

Relaxing day at Tayrona

Orry_P, Oct 2022

Very nice time on the boat! The captain was very cordial and we had plenty of time to relax on the beaches as described in the tour. I appreciated that we left earlier than other boats to be able to have more privacy on the first beach. The boat is not as big as the other tours, and that makes the experience better. I believe this boat can hold a max 12 participants, so it makes the day much better than a group of 25. I would do this tour again.

Experiencia Santa Marta

Marcos_D, Mar 2024

Es un must si viajas a Santa Martha? Un ambiente agradable y relajante este tour. Sería bueno especificar que es en el muelle de Santa Marta y no sobre la calle delante del muelle porque se pierde. Llevar mucho bloqueador.

Très bonne alternative après de longues marches à la cité perdue.

Rosetta_M, Mar 2024

Journée exceptionnelle équipage, super cool, Rythme parfait, suffisant pour une petite baignade sur chaque plage. On a eu la chance d’être en pleine semana Santa, du coup, beaucoup de locaux, ce qui rendait encore l’expérience unique et festive. Je recommande cette excursion qui évite la queue de l’entrée à Tayrona.

El mejor tour par ver Tayrona

Luis_B, Sep 2023

Excelente servicio, los lugares visitados son de lo mas bonito que tiene Tayrona a la orilla del mar. Los chicos de la barca te explican todo muy bien y te dan buenos consejos para que aproveches la experiencia. Lo recomiendo 100%

Una experiencia confortable

LuisAbel_V, Jun 2023

Recuerdo la buena atención que se tuvo en todo el recorrido, llevándonos a las 3 playas del Tayrona más cercanas a Santa Marta, donde fueron muy atentos con las actividades y snacks. Muy fácil el ingreso a la marina, la atención desde el inicio, luego con las instrucciones y con las playas, donde se generó un clima familiar entre todos. Recomiendo el viaje con ellos, porque fue muy confortable.
