Overview

Choose your perfect island adventure. Our full-day SNORKEL TOUR (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM) offers sightseeing at Bocachica Fort and Pablo Escobar’s estate, followed by three 1.5 hour stops at Marina Island, Grande Island (for snorkeling and lunch), and Rosario Island; select the LEISURE TOUR option to opt-out of snorkeling. For a more lively experience, the full-day PARTY TOUR (8:30 AM – 4:00 PM) includes the same sightseeing stops but features 1.5 hour stops at Baru Island, Grande Island (for lunch), and Cholon Island. (Please note: Cholon is famously loud, crowded, and overpriced; select this tour carefully.) Finally, our VIP TOUR (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM) via comfort speedboat features the same sightseeing stops and three premium stops at Islabela (1.5 hrs), a private island resort for lunch (1.5 hrs) and an award-winning Island retreat (2 hrs).

Isla Baru
  • 1h 30m
The Party tour will have their first stop at a beach club in Baru or Grande Island. Baru is excluded from the other tours due to its crowded, vendor-heavy environment, which isn’t ideal for a relaxed or family-friendly experience.
Isla Marina
  • 1h 30m
The Snorkel & Leisure tours will have their first stop at an island with vast access to the clear waters and beach beds for lounging. The VIP tour will also make their first stop Islabela beach club after completing their remaining sightseeing stops.

Guests can unwind on beach beds under parasols, swim, or enjoy the scenery. Lunch is included, with on-site fish, chicken, or vegetarian options. Before the meal, the Snorkel Tour will enjoy an exclusive 30-45 minute snorkeling experience at a nearby fish habitat.
Islas de Rosario
  • 2h
Snorkel & Leisure tours will end at Rosario Island, with beach chairs, parasols, and optional dance classes for a cultural touch. The Party tour concludes at Cholon Island, known for its lively floating party, though crowded, loud, and unmaintained so be sure to choose carefully. Guests on the VIP tour will finish at an award winning island retreat after a day of personalized attention in a small-group setting, and travel on a premium speedboat. All tours return to the same port we departed from.
