★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,479 reviews · 7h 30m · from $107Our pick

Catamaran cruise from Cartagena to the Rosario Islands with snorkeling, white sand swim stops, and a full onboard lunch plus nonalcoholic drinks.

“Fantastic way to get out on the water and see some of the sights! We had a fantastic couple of stops to snorkel and explore a white sandy beach and the food was fantastic. The music and overall vibe was great too. The only feedback I’d give is that we needed a bit more beach time!”

5 Stop Boat Tour Rosario Islands with Lunch, Forts, & Snorkeling

3.5 Stop Boat Tour Rosario Islands with Lunch, Forts, & Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,011 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $67

Rosario Islands day trip from Cartagena with fort stops, beach time, included lunch, and Eco or VIP snorkeling plus optional party energy.

“We booked the VIP tour because we were told it was a bigger boat with shade and would have a smoother ride. That did not happen. They stuck us on a small boat that had no shade and had no business being on such choppy water. We had our eyes closed for the hour ride back because we were constantly being whipped with sea water. A disaster. On top of that, it was apparently a yellow flag day—which they did not tell us until after we were out at the first island—so we had to cut our day short and rush through all the stops. The food was also cold…”

Sunset Cruise in Cartagena

6.Sunset Cruise in Cartagena

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 560 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $36

A 2-hour sunset catamaran cruise in Cartagena with city views, soft drinks, and snacks, sailing from Muelle de la Bodeguita.

“Overall, I didn't enjoy the cruise nor do I feel this was worth the $30. First, the boat/catamaran was crowded. Not sure how many people were on board but I believe the listing mentioned the boat holds up to 150 people. Second, the appetizers offered were cold and...unappetizing. You get a token for a free drink onboard with very limited options. Finally, the staff wasn't very friendly which is unusual in Cartagena. Instead, they were quite indifferent and unwelcoming. It seemed they were just going through the motions. There was no communication when the boat departed (i.e., no safety protocols, no warnings, etc.). It simply left the port. But when…”

Very relaxing sail to the end of the peninsula, where you watch the sunset, and sail back to the pier, looking at Cartagena's buildings lit up. Highly recommend, especially if you drink rum.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 147 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $70

A romantic Cartagena Bay dinner cruise with 3-course meal and two glasses of wine. Calm night views, easy logistics, extra dock tax.

“It was okay at first! Fast boarding and pleasant service from the workers. NOW! Lets talk about food and package included in my order. When purchased the package it said half bottle person (wine) but it was lies . They only gave us 2 glasses and it was less that half glass. The wines are very cheap wines and taste horrible. Appetizers were cold and main dish was only thing I enjoyed. The about doesn’t go along the chores for Cartagena; they take you to the center of the sea and park and killed 1hr 30 mins there . The view is nice but i was expecting the boat to…”
