Interesting trip. First stop was at Isla grande and stopped at La Cocotera where you had a choice to stay on the beach or snorkle. We stayed on the beach and it was absolutely gorgeous with a small bar. It was very relaxing and private. Just 2 vendors walked buy to sell things and that was it. You have the option to purchase food and alcohol here. Nobody bothered you. I'd say we were here about 2 hrs at this beach with no snorkel (your option). 2nd stop was to Cholon . It's a party stop where people anchor boats and listen to music and hang out in the water that have tables set up. It was ok. That's s place enjoyed if you rent a boat and stay on it and enjoy the water and music. Other than that prepared to be bombarded with vendors constantly trying to sell you items. You have the option to purchase food and alcohol here. I'd say we were here about an hr. 3rd stop was to Playa blanca. We were taken to a beach club called Mambo beach. This is where lunch was served. You're given 25K cop per person towards what you order. I ordered the churasco and it was ok. Small piece of cold meat and cold rice for me. You can also purchase alcohol here. The beach club has music and has beds you can lay out on. The beach is beautiful but it's full of these huge rocks. You have to go out a bit to get to flat sand. I've read reviews people rave about this beach but it's not for me. People seem to be on top of you here and the vendors here are NON STOP every 2 minutes. I'd say we spent 1 to 1 1/2 here. Finally back to where we started. Alex was our guide and he was very good and friendly. Because of him and Isla grande I would recommend this trip. If I could of stayed at La Cocotera all day I would have. This is the best beach to actually relax hassle free. GodfreyVeronica_F

So great! I had been hearing a lot about how picked the beaches were with pushy salesmen, but the places they took us was amazing. This was definitely a highlight of my trip and you meet so many other people! 10/10 would definitely book again.

It was a great time overall. I just wish we had a heads up on the boat ride back with the waves and how the speedboat has to go fast and depending on where you are sitting at it will suck a little bit. Great excursions though.

Franklin greeted us with a cup of fruit & a warm welcome! He was very informative and ensure everyone was having a great time. First island we went snorkeling 🤿 and relaxed on the beach with some tasty drinks in hand. Second island! Party island 🏝 They had so many different experiences from tubing to wake boarding. Highly recommend doing one. Third island was a whole vibe. Delicious food, dancing in the sun, and swimming in the blue waters. Highly recommend this experience. My favorite day in Cartagena hands down.jessereed4

Awesome experience discovering the Rosario Islands with Captain Frank and crew! As our tour guide, Frank was super informative ..... keeping us aware of what was to come throughout the trip, and sharing lots of info about every island we visited and sites along the way. We started off with snorkeling in beautiful Caribbean waters, then headed over to the party island, Cholon, where we hung out in the water as our servers brought us drinks and food, and finally ended the day with lunch at Playa Blanca, where the food was delicious! I've seen complaints about old overcrowded boats, which we did see out there, but that was definitely not the case here. Had an amazing group with lots of space, on what seemed like a brand new boat. Would definitely recommend this tour as a "Must Do" when in Cartegena!!Steven_M

We spent nearly 9 hours on the tour, travelling to three great islands, each with an adventure. We closed out our day with a hearty meal. FRANKLIN was the best.
