Cartagena: Eco Islands by Sport Boat, Oceanarium & Raccoons

Snorkel over the sunken plane, visit the Oceanarium with entry included, relax at the private Cocoloco beach club, take an eco visit to see the raccoons of Baru, and enjoy lunch at Crystal Beach Club.
Four stops in one day across the Rosario Islands and Baru, in a sport boat, with the Oceanarium entry and the port taxes already paid. Nothing to settle on the day, no party islands on the route: a calm plan that works for families travelling with children.

We pick you up at a set point in your hotel zone between 7:20 and 8:30 a.m. and take you to Marina Rosales, or you come straight to the marina between 8:30 and 8:50 a.m. if you prefer not to wait. We set off between 8:40 and 9:00 a.m. On the way out of the bay we pass the colonial forts of San Fernando and San Jose for photos, and then we stop to snorkel over the sunken plane, the one locals link to Pablo Escobar, and its coral area. Mask and life jacket are included.

Our next stop is the Oceanarium at San Martin de Pajarales, and your entry is included: you pay nothing at the gate. You have about an hour inside among rays, turtles and reef fish. Swimming with dolphins is a separate activity, optional and not included, and it is paid there if you want it.

We then sail to Cocoloco, a private beach club island in the Rosario Islands, and use its facilities for an hour. Before lunch we make our eco visit to the raccoons of Baru, where you meet them in their own habitat with the guide.

Lunch is at Crystal Beach Club, in Playa Tranquila, where you stay for two hours. You choose between fried fish, chicken breast, pork chop or a vegetarian plate, each served with salad, patacon, coconut rice and lemonade, and you use the club loungers, shade and restrooms for the rest of the stop.

We sail back at 16:00 and reach the Pegasos dock in Cartagena between 16:30 and 17:00, in the historic centre near the Clock Tower. The transfer from the dock to your hotel is at your own cost.

Travelling with children: from the age of 4 the adult fare applies, children from 1 to 3 travel free and without taking a seat, and the Oceanarium entry is free up to the age of 3.

Bring sunscreen, a hat, a towel and some cash for anything you may want to buy on the islands. An English- and Spanish-speaking guide is with you all day.
