The experience

You meet at Isla Grande in Cartagena and get transported to the marina, where you board a shared boat with other travelers. The boat heads out into the Rosario Islands (a chain of 28 islands, most private), and stops at a spot called the Poolita so you can swim before the main event. The music starts on the water, and the boats themselves become part of the party, with stereo sound and an icebox keeping drinks cold as you cruise toward Cholon Island.

Cholon Island is where the day opens up. You arrive around 11:30 and step onto one of the Caribbean's roughest beaches, where the party is already happening. Lunch is served on the shore, typical local food, and you get a welcome drink when you arrive. The crossover music keeps going, and the beach fills with swimmers and dancers. You can eat, swim, dance or sit depending on what you want from the afternoon. The boats stay anchored offshore, so you're moving between water and sand all day.

The return trip leaves between 3:00 and 3:30 pm depending on weather, and takes about 30 minutes back to Pegasus Pier in Cartagena. Two national beers are included with your lunch, and the whole day is guided in English or Spanish.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to spend a full day on the water and beach with music and other travelers, not a quiet or private experience. The shared boat and the party atmosphere are what make the day work. If you prefer calm or solitude, look for a smaller group or private boat option instead.
