Best day of your life!

We enjoyed our day, but if you’re not into crowds don’t go on a weekend.
Ingrid_H
, Feb 2022
The boat was very new and top notch. Snorkeling equipment was good, as well as the life jackets. Melanie, our guide was enthusiastic and quite bilingual. The ride home was fast and fun, and a bit scary. The snorkeling was not stellar, as the coral reef is dying. We were two “older” couples, so did not enjoy the party island. The food was nothing special. I think all tours out to the islands are a similar service, so I don’t really think that it really matters which one you go with. Also we went on a weekend, so I’m sure that it was much more crowded.
Excellent

We was looking forward to an nice and quiet snorkeling trip. Realty was that it was an big party’s lots of people local children in between which trying to steal your belongings. We would not recommend that trip

Perfect boat day experience! Highly recommend

This was a great trip! Well worth the money to be picked up at your hotel, travel with a private group from place to place on a boat with music that’s not super super choppy, and to have guides take you from place to place. Jesus was great and very fun! We lucked out and had great weather and very few waves on the trip out to Rosario islands and back. All around an awesome experience, especially given that we weren’t familiar with the area. Bring your own drinks and snacks if you want! It was good to have a place to keep our things while we snorkled and hung out of the beach. Would 100% repeat
Perfect blend of fun for everyone!

We enjoyed our tour of the 3 islands from our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, John Wayne. The snorkel session would have been better if we had not been required to wear lifejackets. Fins were also not provided. Nice fish and coral though! Loved the private island relaxing time at stop #2, but Cholon (the party island), not so much. The boat ride back to Playa Blanca (starting point) into the waves and wind was exhilarating and fun! Sit in the front of the boat for a roller coaster thriller or in the back to tame it down as much as possible. The traditional Colombian lunch back at Playa Blanca was delicious and we appreciated the vegetarian option. Bring an extra water bottle with you (one bottle is provided).

Terrible Tour Company
Griselangel_P
, Oct 2019
The tour is good in theory- but not in execution.
Driver and tour guide were lost at every step of the way so it took 2.5 hours to pick everyone up.
Tour guide would never update us in what what going on, and took him over 2 hours to do basic introduction. We were told to be ready at 6 AM. Got picked up at 7 AM and it was not until 8:45 of doing never ending circles around town picking people up that the tour guide introduced himself and told the group what was happening.
Giving 2 stars because the restaurant they took us for lunch had amazing food and drinks to it helped the experience a little.
My advice - find this tour, with a better tour company.

This was a really great experience. Everyone was very knowledgeable and helped us throughout the entire trip. The water was beautiful. The boat ride was extremely memorable. We wanted to do this tour again the next day. I would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see the islands.

Rosario & Cholon
Kristina S
, Jan 2019
We had a great tour guide who spoke both English and Spanish. The boat ride out to Rosario can get a bit choppy so be sure to sit towards the back of the boat. The few islands we stopped on were small and just meant for observing the scenery and wading the in water. Don't expect there to be shopping, restaurants, etc. But it's a great look at how the locals live. The water was crystal blue, water, and we had a great time!
Great Time

This tour was through backpackers CTG which I highly recommend. We first drove to Isla Baru and took a boat out into the ocean to snorkel. It was an unforgettable experience. After we went to Cholon and the water was very clear and beautiful, we then went to Agua Playa Agua Azul. Finally we went to Playa Blanca. For the price, it was a very good value. I bought more expensive tours that were not as great as this one.

Unfortunately not worth the money.
No good snorkelling equipment, no flippers, water too shallow.
Vendors on the certain spots seem to have connection with the tour guide.
Were encouraged to buy alcohol even before snorkelling.
Included fruit salad was plate for everyone (12 people) with five forks.
Tour appears aimed at the backpacker...

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
