Highly recommended - Omg, this was the best experience ever! I had so much fun! The food was great, the people were nice and welcoming. The water activities were extremely fun. All of the islands were beautiful. Great food!

Great Tour - Rosario Islands tour was great. Our guide Daniel was informative and very helpful. The boat ride became a party.

Amazing stay - Very nice the places, very warm the people who work there, very good care provided us at all times.

Funny. - Our tour of the Rosario Islands was fantastic. The scenery was stunning, the guides were very knowledgeable and the whole experience was very well organized. We enjoy every moment and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway. It is definitely an activity that cannot be missed!

Unmissable - We stayed for 5 days in Cartagena City, and nothing beats the visit of Islas del Rosario, Guide Alex was very attentive, we recommend it 100%

5 Star quality tour! - This tour was way better than I expected it to be. I’m not The type of person that does group tours I prefer private, but this was a really fun tour. The host Angel was really good and very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed as far as food and drinks and he also made sure we had everything we needed as far as information, every place we stopped at was really fun. My favorite though was mambo Beach because I think Playa Blanca is the best beach in Cartagena if not Colombia. The snorkeling was really really fun. I actually wish we could’ve stayed there longer, but that was amazing to see all those fish down there. Some of them were different colors. There’s a lot of blue ones even some yellow and blue ones I mean it was really cool to see. I think I saw a turquoise looking one. It’s definitely something that I would recommend doing, you come to Cartagena this tour Exceeded my expectations!

Better impossible - I made the decision to visit the islands of Rosario with my friends, what a wonderful experience, Colombia continues to amaze me with its magical places

Sea Color and Good Guide Handling - I loved the views, the crystal clear water and since there is quite a lot of tourism the atmosphere was great, the experience is 10/10

Not worthwhile - It was not a particularly pleasant experience overall. When I booked this, it was through New Coast Travel Agency (on the Trip Advisor site) but then our tour was given to Backpackers. The other part that bothered me was that New Coast Travel Agency messaged if I was on my way at 7:30, and I didn't have to be there until 7:45. My friends felt rushed by this, and then we proceeded to sit around for 30-45 minutes waiting, I think for someone else. The information ahead of time said via WhatsApp the company would only wait "5 minutes," which was definitely not the case here. Why make someone feel rushed only to have them sit around forever. Be cautious when you book things on Trip Advisor so you know exactly what you're booking and who you're booking it with. It was disappointing, when I book with an agency I expect that agency to carry it through or at least be up front about it. Nowhere in the marketing is it clear that New Coast Travel Agency, and I did not learn this until the night before the tour itself. As a whole, I honestly would be more selective about tours to the Rosario Islands and just avoid tours like these.

Awful day. Wish I hadn’t wasted my money on this tour. - I did not enjoy this tour and would not recommend it to anyone unless you’re a masochist. The only fun part was the friends I made. We started off the morning by getting to the meeting point at 7:50am as they told us they would be leaving right at 8am. Apparently that was a lie. After checking in, we sat around for 30 minutes with no explanation for the wait. Later we found out they were waiting for some people who never showed up. Usually if someone is more than 5-10 minutes late you just leave without them. So that was an extremely frustrating start to the morning. We then got on the boat and began sailing to the first island. As soon as we departed, it began to rain very hard with thunder and lightning. I understand this travel company doesn’t control the weather, but if we’d had left on time then maybe we could have avoided moving at fast speeds in the freezing rain. Also, I was surprised the boat tour continued even with extremely loud lightning crackling right above our heads. I was terrified. We stopped to snorkel near an island which was a good experience. The next island we went to, which was a private island, was beautiful. We sat under some umbrellas due to the rain but then were able to venture into the water for a few minutes once the sun came out. I wish we would have had more time at this island as it was the best one. The next island was Cholon which was absolutely terrible. The island was littered and dirty and full of merchants touching you and trying to trick you into getting massages. There was nowhere to lay out on the beach, which was full of garbage, so you either had to stand at a table in the water, eat at one of the seedy restaurants, or just stand around. My friends and I were extremely uncomfortable there (as were other members of our group) and couldn’t wait to leave. We finally got to the last island. We went to a cute outdoor restaurant and got our lunch orders. Unfortunately the lunch was not very good at all. My fish tasted OK, but the rice was gross and the little side salad or whatever it was was sad. We all left lunch feeling very unsatisfied after a long day. Right as my group exited the restaurant and got onto the beach, the leader of our group announced it was time to go. I was frustrated that we didn’t have any time at the island to swim after we finished lunch. Maybe we would have had more time if we didn’t leave 30 minutes late? But as we got on the boat I was hoping that was the end of the tour, and thank god it was. We arrived back to Cartagena miserable and hungry and exhausted. What a waste of a day and money.
