Overview

Choose your perfect island adventure. Our full-day SNORKEL TOUR (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM) offers sightseeing at Bocachica Fort and Pablo Escobar’s estate, followed by three 1.5 hour stops at Marina Island, Grande Island (for snorkeling and lunch), and Rosario Island; select the LEISURE TOUR option to opt-out of snorkeling. For a more lively experience, the full-day PARTY TOUR (8:30 AM – 4:00 PM) includes the same sightseeing stops but features 1.5 hour stops at Baru Island, Grande Island (for lunch), and Cholon Island. (Please note: Cholon is famously loud, crowded, and overpriced; select this tour ONLY if you are carefree and want to party.) Finally, our VIP TOUR (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM) via comfort speedboat features the same sightseeing stops, a snorkeling session, and three premium stops at Islabela (1.5 hrs), a private beach club (1.5 hrs) and an award-winning Island resort for lunch (1.5 hrs).

  • Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica
    All 4 tours (VIP, SNORKEL, LEISURE, & PARTY) will have a sightseeing stop from the boat at this fort on Tierra Bomba to take pictures and learn about its historical significance.
  • Isla Baru
    The Party tour will have their first stop at a beach club in Baru or Grande Island. Baru is excluded from the other tours due to its crowded, vendor-heavy environment, which isn’t ideal for a family-friendly or premium experience. NOTE: Public islands like Cholon and Baru are unmaintained, loud, and crowded with vendors. Choose the Party option carefully.
  • Isla Marina
    The Snorkel & Leisure tours will have their first stop at an island with vast access to the clear waters and beach beds for lounging. The VIP tour will also make their first stop Islabela beach club after completing their remaining sightseeing stops.
  • Isla Marina
    All tours will then enjoy a sightseeing stop from the boat past Pablo Escobar’s former island mansion, adding a unique visual highlight of the Rosario Islands.
  • Isla Grande
    All tours will then head to a separate island for lunch and relaxation. VIP guests will have exclusive access to a private island beach club separately on another point of the island. Guests can unwind on beach beds under parasols, swim, or enjoy the scenery. Lunch is included, with on-site fish, chicken, or vegetarian options. Before the meal, VIP & Snorkel Tours will enjoy an exclusive 30-45 minute snorkeling experience at a nearby fish habitat.
  • Islas de Rosario
    Snorkel & Leisure tours will end at Rosario Island, with beach chairs and parasols. The Party tour concludes at Cholon Island, known for its lively floating party, though crowded, loud, and unmaintained so be sure to choose carefully. Guests on the VIP tour will finish at an award winning island resort after a day of personalized attention in a small-group setting, and travel on a premium speedboat. All tours return to the same port we departed from.
