First Catamaran experience - Nice experience on Catamaran. We received complimentary juice when we walked in. We didn’t realize you don’t get to go on the shore. The whole time we were on the Catamaran. They stopped two places to snorkel. We had lunch it was good. The water was beautiful. The weather was nice we even saw a group of dolphins passed us that was amazing. I wish we could stop and watch them. It took pretty long to return about 1.5 hour that was little tiring. Overall experience is good.

Great catamaran trip - Snorkeling in the crystal clear blue warm water. I thought we visit some of the Rosario island but we just went sailing and swimming. But it was still a great day with a nice cooked lunch on the ship

Boat Adventure Near Islands: Snorkeling, Swimming, and Satisfying Lunch - Just know that you do not stop on the islands. Instead, you swim and snorkel near the islands. The water is warm, and the underwater views are not really scenic, but you do see some small fish. The lunch is filling, and the crew is very kind and accommodating. You only need to bring sunscreen, a bathing suit, and sandals on the trip.

Recommend! - Super relaxing day, friendly staff, cheap drinks. I would recommend this tour over any of the other offerings in Cartagena. The boat is comfortable, even if the water gets rough. Fun atmosphere on board!

Best boat day! - I loved this excursion! The boat staff were friendly and professional, the lunch was AMAZING, and where they took us to snorkel/spend time on a mini island was beautiful. My only complaint was that I was a little disappointed that where we went snorkeling wasn’t clear enough to see anything. And just a heads up to get to the gate to check in for the boat early - there was a big line of people all trying to get into the same gate. Overall I’d give it a 9/10 and would definitely book it again!

Great day spent on a boat and snorkeling - The boat is very well maintained and clean. The onboard experience was relaxing with music and refreshments. Despite having an infant traveling with us, we did not feel it to be difficult to move around the boat and going in and out while snorkeling. Traveling as solo, as couple and as family with kids, everyone enjoyed the trip. They anchored the boat twice for snorkeling and lunch. I liked the second spot more (after lunch). Good equipment, good food and good experience to sum it up.

Rosario Islands snorkeling & lunch is a great day! - The entire day was wonderful! The catamaran was beautiful. A very fun day. The water was amazing- not much sea life, but who cares, you’re in this gorgeous water sailing off the coast of Colombia! Amount of snorkeling time was great! The Rosario islands are beautiful. The crew was professional and well informed. Lunch was delicious and plenty! A day filled with sun, water and good times! If you don’t enjoy it- it’s your own damn fault! Bring sun screen!!

Great day trip! - A great trip! Snorkeling at the first stop was great, and swimming at the 2nd was excellent. Plenty of spots with shade to sit on the boat. Waves were a little rocky on the way back for about 45 minutes but otherwise very enjoyable ride. Music was a little loud (although you notice it less when it’s a song you know). Food was delicious and plentiful, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Bring lots of sunscreen, saw lots of burned backs after the snorkeling portion of the trip. Highly recommend!

Great but wished we could have stayed longer! - I'm a bit torn with writing this review. Let me go with the pros first: 1. The catamaran was huge and big enough for everyone to fit comfortably and not feel squashed. 2. The food and drinks were good. 3. Staff was great! 4. The offered free snorkel gear and pool noodles to swim in the ocean The cons were: 1. The lines to get into the location were chaotic! There are several different charters leaving from the same gate, so everyone was confused. 2. We really didn't get enough time at each of the islands. We only spent 45 minutes at Rosario Island and 45 minutes at Baru. For a whole day trip, I wish we had the opportunity to spend more time....or maybe to have visited one of the more lively islands. It felt like we got a chance to dip into the ocean, and then it was time to leave. Overall, I would still recommend it.
