Tour Highlights
Early Morning Private Boat Adventure
The San Bernardo Islands are farther from Cartagena than the Rosario Islands, so this tour starts early and gives your group a full day of exploring one of Colombia’s most beautiful island areas. Depart around 7:00 AM and enjoy a scenic private boat ride to a quieter, more remote Caribbean paradise.
Isla Mangles, Islote Santa Cruz, and Isla Múcura
Recommended stops include Isla Mangles, a beautiful protected nature and swimming area, Islote Santa Cruz, known as one of the most densely populated islands on earth, and Isla Múcura, a favorite stop for lunch, beach time, and relaxing Caribbean views.
Culture and Sharks
This tour is not just about beaches. Guests can experience island culture at Islote Santa Cruz, swim in calm turquoise water, explore natural island areas, and even have the option to swim with nurse sharks in a controlled local experience.
