Amazing experience in Cartagena - This tour is a beautiful experience. The tour organizers are clear communicators, sending careful instructions and are responsive. We arranged for a pickup at our hotel, which is a great service they offer, and then enjoyed a brief history of the area, mangrove tour, fishing lesson, great conversation, lunch, beach time and much more. We learned so much about the ecosystem and the way the community is working hard to preserve the area for animals and residents. We are so grateful for the opportunity to meet the team and learn about their area. Definitely recommend to all.

Excellent immersive experience! - Highly recommend this experience! Jamie offered insight into the mangroves, the community and life. Dancing, feeding tarp, learning about turtles and enjoying a delicious mojarra lunch added to the full immersion. And as a solo traveler, I felt safe throughout the booking, pickup and experience.

The best day we had in Cartagena! - If there was an option for 7 stars we would give that! Jamie was such a lovely and involved guide. She showed us the other side of Cartagena. The Mangroves are wonderful and La Boquilla has by far the best beaches of the city. We had loads of laughs with Jamir and Jamie on and in the water. If you are looking for an authentic tour in Cartagena don’t miss this one!

El Major! The Best authentic experience! - This was a truly authentic and fun experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. She was very detailed with the tour. She made sure we had a good time and took care of every detail from a timely pick up to explanation of all the environmental aspects through the mangrove tour and cheering us on when we tried fishing with a net. Seemingly easy but actually very hard! The lunch was delicious and way more than we could eat. I highly recommend this experience!

A unique and different place - I enjoyed this experience very much, the host gives you a lot of warmth, they are attentive to you all the time, the food was wonderful and the view that the place offers is great, but my favorite part of this entire tour was enjoying the boat ride along the community, I have no words to express what I felt, you feel so connected with nature, it is an inexplicable experience, it generates so much peace, so much tranquility, it feels like a spa day, it was really very good, I recommend it, don't you will regret it

Great day in Cartagena - Absolutely a great experience with Andres our guide. Andres met us at the cruise port and saved us from being attacked by the multitude of taxi drivers. The fried fish lunch that was provided with soup, rice, salad and patacones was fantastic! Some beach time after lunch. The tour through the mangroves was fun, beautiful and interesting! This tour lived up to everything advertised and more. Truly, one of the best tours I have ever participated in and I've been on over 100 cruises and done many excursions. Highly highly recommended.

A great activity in the city! - This experience was wonderful from start to finish, if you want to know something beyond the traditional in Cartagena you HAVE to do this experience, they picked me up at my hotel and in just 15 minutes I had arrived, the beach is really as they describe it, free tourist, vendors and very very relaxing, I could be there all day, lunch was the best I have had in Cartagena, it felt very fresh, natural and traditional (it is also included in the cost), then we moved to the of the mangrove, on the way I was able to see a little of the traditional town, when I arrived it was beautiful and everyone was friendly, I still can't decide what the best part of this experience was but it was really magical, I had never seen an ecosystem like this before, I learned a little about nature, dancing, and as if that were not enough, they taught me how to fish! This is truly an experience that everyone should live!

Best of the best - This was such an amazing and beautiful sightseeing tour, we had a good lunch and had a wonderful time at the beach afterwards we got on this boat well a canoe to be exact. Omg they gave coconut water which was so refreshing.We had a tour of the mangrove, we learned a lot from this experience as well we got to see, hear and play instruments at one of the stops, which was pretty cool because it’s was those instruments that navies would use back then as well as we learn their fishing techniques which my boyfriend loved that part. One of the best part of the tour was our tour guide yeimy, she is wonderful. Like the best of the best

Terrible Service! Scammers - Terrible service! Since the begging the treatment was horrible, super bad customer service and communication. They told us they were going to pick us up 11:30am, my partner and I arranged the whole day for the tour and while we were waiting al the lobby they cancelled without a reasonable explanation. Wouldn’t recommend at all, don’t loose your time with this guys.
