Islabela Island Day Trip
Description
Are you seeking a serene retreat? Join us on this excursion to the Rosario Islands, where you’ll have the chance to unwind in a scenic seaside resort on Islabela, immersed in the tranquility of nature.
Excursion Options
When making your reservation, you'll have the opportunity to select from the following options:
Islabela Excursion
Begin your journey at the Bodeguita Tourist dock, as we depart from Cartagena aboard a speedboat bound for the Islas del Rosario archipelago!
After a 45-minute ride, we will land on the islet, Islabela. Upon arrival at this Caribbean resort, a refreshing non-alcoholic welcome drink will be awaiting you. With your drink in hand, settle down on your designated sunbed and enjoy the stunning beach.
You will have an hour of leisure to soak in the breathtaking coastal scenery. Next, we will board the speedboat again to visit the nearby Rosario Islands Oceanarium. While admission tickets are separate, we highly recommend this optional visit to explore over 140 endangered species of Caribbean flora and fauna, including the chance to interact with tropical fish and sea turtles that thrive among the coral reefs!
After our guided oceanarium experience, we will return to Islabela, where you have the option to snorkel or kayak during your free time.
Once you finish your chosen activity, you can refuel at the Islabela Restaurant. The lunch menu offers a selection of a main dish – either fried fish, grilled chicken, or a vegetarian choice for adults, alongside options like chicken nuggets, fish, or pasta with vegetables for the kids.
After enjoying your meal, we will take a few moments to relax before embarking on the speedboat for our return journey to the meeting point. After 7 hours of blissful relaxation and enjoyment, we will arrive back at the Bodeguita dock.
