The experience
The boat departs La Bodeguita pier at 8am and takes 45 minutes to reach Pao Pao, a newer beach club built by Grupo Bora Bora for adults seeking a quieter alternative to busier island venues. You arrive with time to claim a sun bed, swim in either of the two beaches or the freshwater pool, and settle into the rhythm of the day. The club sits on Rosario Island itself, so there is no island-hopping or multiple stops. The focus stays on one place.
Lunch is included and rotates between Pao Pao paella, seafood pasta, typical fish, grilled chicken or vegetarian pasta, depending on the day. The atmosphere runs on Balearic rhythms, chill-out and deep house, with exotic birds overhead and details throughout the club designed to feel unhurried. Bathrooms are on-site and the social areas give you room to move between sun and shade without leaving the property.
The return boat leaves at 3pm and docks back at La Bodeguita around 4pm. You'll need to bring 34,000 COP in cash for the pier tax, which is not included in the booking. Be at gate 3 of La Bodeguita pier by 7:20am on the day of your tour.
