Memorable - It was amazing, the crew was so kind - were always willing to support me to ensure I had fun on my trip. It meant a lot especially because I was travelling alone and my Spanish wasn't the best; yet the conversations I had were so memorable. I am forever grateful. The beach itself was unbelieveable, I didn't want to leave the water!!

Tayrona Bay with the best tour - We had an awesome experience on the sailboat trip. From the beginning Ana made sure we were accounted for and in the right group. The staff on the boat made sure we were well hydrated, or lunch orders were prepared, and everything taken care of. The beach was beautiful with light waves and easy to swim around, paddle board, and sunbathe. The trees have great coverage as well and having chairs on the boat and on the beach was a big plus. And traveling with a smaller group was ideal. I would recommend this for anyone with families and like groups under 25.

Nice trip - Nice staff, great trip, good boat. We were in Easter week, it wasn't too crowded. They handed out safety vests. The ride to the destination took 1.5 hours

Amazing - The crew was great, thank you all!!! The park is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I wish the trip was a little longer or maybe go to a couple of beaches. I would do this tour again anyway My family and me loved the experience

Fun day-trip to San Juan beach - My boyfriend and I did this trip as a way to see Tayrona National Park from Santa Marta. It was a fun boat ride and then we just sat on the San Juan beach for several hours. You have the opportunity to order drinks and snacks, but I would recommend bringing your own (the fancy coconut/pineapple beach drinks are really, really expensive and low quality!). Overall, we enjoyed the day though we didn't see much of the park. We met a really fun group of people which added to the experience. If you are looking to see more of the park, I'd recommend doing a hiking tour or going into the park yourself, but if you're looking for a fun day of day-drinking and beach-lounging, then this is the trip for you!

Nice day on the water. - It was a nice day. Water was lovely for the sail and the swim. Not much time given to snorkeling and very little English spoken. So lovely day but if those two things are essential to you, I would look elsewhere.

Didn’t meet the expectations - We signed up for English tour but the only person speaking a few English words was a crew member from Venezuela. He explained to us the basic rules(restrooms, time for lunch). We were brought to one of Tyron’s beaches for 3.5 hours to stay there. When we tried to get in the woods, we were told it is prohibited. The tour probably didn’t buy the entrance to the jungles for us. The meal was OK. It was a boring tour, not educational at all. The crew was nice and respectful.
