The experience

The experience starts with a helicopter flight over Cartagena, giving you a perspective of the city most visitors never get. From the air you see the Walled City's colonial grid, San Felipe Castle perched on its hill, the high-rise hotels of Bocagrande, and the Caribbean stretching to the horizon. The flight lasts long enough to take in the scale of the coast and the way the city sits between the sea and the bay islands.

After landing, you board a boat for the second half of the day. A welcome cocktail arrives as you leave the dock, and the boat moves through Cartagena Bay at a pace that lets you watch the skyline shift and the sea breeze pick up. Lunch comes with three options to choose from, timed so you eat while the boat is moving through the water. A Caribbean dance show and live DJ fill the afternoon with music and movement, turning the boat into a floating celebration of the region's energy.

The whole outing runs three hours from start to finish, with the helicopter portion handling the sightseeing and the boat portion handling the meal and entertainment. You're on the water during the best light of the day, and the combination means you're not standing in one spot or sitting in a tour bus. You're moving through the landscape by two different means.
