HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Absolutely AMAZING!! It was 10 girls and everyone on the crew went above and beyond to match our needs. We had an epic time from the snorkeling, to the delicious lunch and private beach spot! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a private tour!!

Great start to the trip - Most do! - Booked this as the first activity for an all-girls trip. Some of us were worried about starting out so early after arriving in Cartagena so late the night before. Well, it was worth it...and more!
Once we got to the yacht club, we met with Abel, who was a gracious host. Then we met our crew, Johnathan and Rueben. On board and out to sea we went with our music playing and drinks flowing.
Our first stop was magical as it was the perfect spot to take a dip and swim around. Then we sailed to have lunch on La Champetua, which was divine. Johnathan and Rueben could have left us there as we already felt so satisfied...but there was more to see.
We finished off the day with a couple more hours of sailing, swimming, and taking in the majestic views. Couldn't have asked for a better start to our trip. Highly recommend this!

Beautiful Colombian islands!!! - I celebrated my birthday with friends! We had an excellent experience from pick-up to drop-off. The boat was very clean, well-kept, spacious (15 people), and fast! Highly recommended!

Amazing Boat Tour - The driver and other boat attendant were amazing! This trip consisted of stopping at 3 islands. 1 was a place where you could get out and swim, 1 was a party scene with other boats parked, where you could eat(very expensive but tasty) food, jet ski, etc….and one was a completely zen, quiet island. It was just awesome, we couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Amazing Experience! - Coming from hot and sunny Miami, I recommend this tour 100%! The communication I had with the Arrecife team from before to trip to after the trip exceeded my expectations. We went on the red cushioned chairs boat named Arrecife and it was comfortable for a group of 7 plus the 2 staff members. We chose this boat because it has more shade than the other ones and let me tell you, the Cartagena sun is much stronger than the one in Miami. The staff on the boat were so accommodating and always provided great service and boy did he know how to drive. He tried to avoid the waves so the boat didn’t move that much. Also, we bought snack/drinks at the near by market, Carulla, and they provided ice and had snorkel gear/noodle sticks for us to use while we were there.
We also all speak Spanish so maybe that’s another reason why they communicated so much with us but it was such a great beach day. The water in all the islands were beautiful. However, the only down side is the restaurant where we had lunch. We totally understand the situation and limitations of eating in an island. We ate by the water but the food and drinks were not top notch.
Nonetheless, this tour is an idea day trip when you’re in Cartagena!

Brooklyn in da House - I want to say thank you so much to Alex and his whole team. I came out to Cartagena for my bday in Jan 2022 and my family and I had an amazing time. Alex was very responsive, gave recommendations based on the experience I wanted and he was cool. I was coming from Brooklyn and Alex made sure he followed up with all we discussed. From Nathalie and family, thank you again Alex and team for your warm custom service, your beautiful clean boat and a memorable experience that we are still talking about til this day. We would definitely recommend Alex and we would definitely use him again. God Bless✌️

Yes one more time !! - Yes, once again we chose Alex's services, this time we used the Arrecife boat which is like new, the crew as always very friendly and helpful, this time we visited the Rosario Islands, there we could swim (at the moment it is allowed) since we could not get off the boat in cholon or blue beach because it is not allowed, however we spent an excellent day in the Rosario islands, there we visited the pool, the plane, and caño raton.
I definitely recommend Arrecife boats for their excellent service, we will surely return next year!
