The experience

The day starts at Isla Grande, your meeting point for 30 to 45 minutes, then moves to the water. You'll spend most of the afternoon at Cholón Island itself, where the boats, music and parties are the whole point. This is not a quiet snorkel stop or a historical site tour. A live DJ plays crossover music on Saturdays and Sundays (weekday departures run without live music), and the boat becomes the venue. You swim when you want, eat when you're ready, and the rhythm is set by the group and the music, not by a fixed schedule.

Food comes as your choice of chicken, fish or vegetables, and there are extra cocktail options beyond what's included. Alcoholic drinks are for adults only. The couples plan option includes private transport back to your hotel at the end. The standard DJ option does not, so you'll arrange your own return or use public transportation nearby. Children from age 8 can join, and the boat accommodates all fitness levels, though it's not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns.

What's the difference between the DJ option and the couples plan?

What time does the tour start and how long does it take?

The tour runs 8.5 hours total, starting at Isla Grande for your 30 to 45 minute meeting point, then moving to Cholón Island for the main part of the day. Pickup is included, so you don't arrange your own transport to the start.

What food is included and are there drink options?

Your meal is chicken, fish or vegetables. You choose which one. Cocktail options beyond what's included are available to order, and alcoholic drinks are for adults only.
