ES very good - It was good POR the food as well as how GEUSEPE treats you, with the jokes and the vibe that Colombia and Carthagena has for a Mexican

Not please but Cholón is def a vibe - Long review: one if you’re 35 and under and like to party Cholón is the stop! One hr isn’t enough time. Esp the time that you arrive via this group. By the time it got popping/lit it was time to go via this booking! My over all experience was okay however my treatment was def questionable! Colorism was very much so real by this boat crew and guide. Upon entering the boat, my friends and I sat down under the blue covering for shade. The guide Alex, and another crew member told us to get up and sit in the front of the boat where there was no covering. With out hesitation we did what was told. Before taking off, I remembered that the ride was going to be rather long to be in direct sun exposure. I asked could we sit under the covering because the sun is about to be hot. Alex, then replied “well it will be shade because of the direction we are going, these people are old so they will burn.” I observed that it was only three older people and the rest were my age or younger. I stated that to him and he dismissed the concern. If one could see a picture of the seating, all the whites and fair skin people were under covering and all the blacks, darker people were in the front. Very segregated! After the first two stops to snorkel, my friends and I tried to switched seats so that we can shared the space and get some sun protection as well, and it was a huge disagreement, and confrontation over seating. We thought it would be fair that the time be shared with being protected by the sun. Alex, then said well “these people really don’t want their skin to burn and they cant be in the sun for too long, please keep calm” Again, being dismissed I was becoming frustrated because at that point it was as if, since my skin is of a darker hue I was expected or not considered as a human who skin couldn’t be damaged. As far as other treatment. My friends and I were let on and off the boat with a rather unsafe uneven ladder with a first step extremely low from the front of the boat. At one point we had to jump off. However, when it was time for the fair skinned people to get off the boat, they moved the boat for easier access, they went off from the back etc. when I asked about it, Alex stated that it was because the older people needed more help and assistance. When in reality if the older people needed assistance it would’ve been wiser to just position the boat to accommodate everyone for time and effort. Same for on the beach with the fruit: they automatically sat our chairs SMACK dead in the sun and but the other chairs in the shade! At that point I had ENOUGH! I spoke up again and demanded to be put in the shade as well! Side note: it was my BIRTHDAY! Overall, pick another listing and a longer time at Cholón if you want to having an amazing time!

Stay on a local beach instead - It's all a bit samey. There is no information given about the different islands. The boat was overcrowded. Four of us were squeezed onto a seat for three people. Really uncomfortable on every boat journey. We were taken to beaches to buy expensive drinks/food. They were interchangeable. Lunch was really late. Every one was over hungry and many people wanted the trip to be over. Regret doing it rather than finding a quite local beach. People on the boat were nice.

Very bad. - Very ugly experience. By boat. He came back very quickly and we jumped on top of the boat, all tight when we were supposed to have paid for a VIP experience. The islands without a beach. Ugly places.
