I’ll def do this again - The best time I had in a long time. I was expecting to stop at 5 different islands we only stopped at one I’d def use Black king tours instead next time but we did have a hot of fun! I can’t complain at all! Beware of beggars though the vendors are very pushy and aggressive

Party Cove “cesspool” - Good place to go if you want to party while standing in the water all day with a bunch of people. Not the place for a “day at the beach” Everything on the island is very expensive even by US standards so make sure to bring snacks, drinks, alcohol, etc. with you. You’re probably better off staying on your boat and partying on there.

Fun - Food was really good. Water was nice despite a lot of people. They do charge for the bathroom and the locals who are selling things can be misleading on pricing. Overall a good experience.

Not for me, but maybe for you - I will start at the beginning. Not sure where the communication break down was, but I was contacted by at least 2 people confirming my trip. I was in a private property and not a hotel, so I kept trying to confirm my pick-up location and time. VIATOR said beteeen 7am and 8am, that's a big window, so I wanted to confirm. On the morning of, they said, ok, we'll be there at 730 and ended up getting here after 8. But they told me 730 at about 715, so that created a bunch of rushing for no reason. I had planned to be ready by 8, so that was annoying. Good news is they picked me up at my private residence and I didn't have to Uber to a pick-up point. Next part: This was known to me, but maybe I assumed there would be an option to take a break. Let me also say, I booked Cholon only vs the trips that take you to multiple islands. You are standing in the water for hours...and not really with an activity. The vendors are hawkers: massage, jet ski, banana boat, etc. It was $5 COP to use the restroom. Maybe that was a grift, but I didn't explore it. It just felt like you didn't have an option but to either succumb to the vendors (if you wanted to do activities, then that probably would work for you) or just stand there. Music was good. If you wanted to, you could get back on the boat which I did after lunch. Lunch was included in the price and was decent. Also had the octopus with rice which was overpriced (for CTG), but very good. Our trip offered 2 beers/person for free. CHOLON is set up as a party destination, so if you're good to roam around engaging with strangers, and doing the activities, then it may work for you and you will enjoy it. I did get our captain/tour guides name/number to give to others in case this is their jam. He is Puerto Rican and thus spoke English and Spanish which was a plus. I think this would be a better trip for singles or a big group of friends. PS Hookah was also available.

Unprofessional Staff - The experience was good overall. I enjoyed the food on the boat ride to Cholon and the group of other passengers I went with were fun. The staff could have been better in terms of safety. One part of the boat broke so a lady hurt her ankle. The staff also did not make boarding and leaving the boat easy by having a ladder or step stool initially. The staff would say one price, but ask for a higher price in the end which caused a lot of unnecessary confusion. The island event in of itself was amazing, but the staff ruined parts of the experience. All in all, please listen to the reviewers because these type of reviews can dissuade others from using your company for their trip.

Pretty good experience - At first, we experienced terrible rain heading to the islands. Once the storm broke, the boat experience improved. Cholon is a bit over rated and is overly crowded with vendor people selling stuff. This made it hard to enjoy with people coming up to you every 5 seconds. Drinks were strong and weather was great by thr afternoon! Lunch and hotel pick up was provided. Could have stayed at Cholon longer but it was nice to see other islands.

The process of boarding... - The process of boarding the boat was very lengthy and unorganized. The meeting location was crowded with people without any direction. The actual party was cool. However, the boat ride returning was terrible…the driver was going extremely fast. We were bouncing and down while attempting to find things to hold on to. My friend fell out of her seat. The driver did not attempt to slow down and no one helped.
