Tour Variations
When making your reservation, you can select from 3 distinct options. All experiences last for 12 hours and come with hotel pickup, transportation, and lunch included. Review the specifics of each variant below:
Excursion Without Snorkeling
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Cartagena, followed by a trip to the La Bodeguita pier. From this point, you will embark on a brief bus journey to Isla Barú, home to the stunning Playa Tranquila, celebrated as one of the finest beaches in the Colombian Caribbean.
Upon arrival, you'll receive entry to Club House or a similar beach club. Spend the day enjoying the beach club's offerings, including refreshing swims in the clear turquoise waters, sunbathing, dancing to vibrant music, and utilizing the sun loungers and Wi-Fi facilities.
Enjoy a complimentary welcome drink, and at lunchtime, savor a traditional Caribbean meal accompanied by a Colombian coffee.
After your meal, take full advantage of the beach club amenities before your return journey to your hotel in Cartagena.
Excursion With Snorkeling
Choosing this option will lead you on a journey through the enchanting mangroves around Isla Barú. Keep an eye out, as you may spot raccoons in their natural habitat!
Next, you will proceed to one of the prime locations within Playa Tranquila to explore snorkeling. Enjoy your free time swimming and encountering the vibrant marine life in the crystal-clear waters.
Post-snorkeling, relax at the Club House, which includes a welcome drink and a hearty lunch.
