Cartagena: Ganztägige geführte Tour zur Insel Cholón

Firstly very annoying to find booking through tripadvisor we paid $120 each for the same trip the other people on the trip payed $50 for. The boat itself was fine, there were about 5 team members on the boat and other than the captain have absolutely no idea what any of them did. No one was pverly helpful or friendly. Apparently there was a “dancer” on the boat, who I’m guessing is to bring the vibes up but she simplysat down in the corner looking miserable the whole time. Cholon itself is a group of tables in murky water as you are non atop harrassed by merchants to buy things from oysters to drugs to jetskis. No real party vibe. Every drop off paid for drinks etc. would not recommend. Stay away. At the end given a hard sell to tip the crew, honestly I am normally a big tipper but after knowing we paid double everyone else did and not having any idea what half the crew were meant to do thought it was crazy for them to demand a tip.

There’s quite a bit to share about this experience. First and foremost, I highly recommend bringing pesos with you, as it makes transactions on the island much easier. While the excursion had its enjoyable moments, there were several issues that impacted our overall experience. We began the tour at 8:30 AM, but lunch wasn’t served until 1:45 PM. It felt as though the delay was intentional to encourage guests to purchase food on the island. Unfortunately, when our meal finally arrived, the fish was cold and had to be remade. Be cautious when ordering food and drinks—especially those recommended by the tour guide. We ordered a drink without checking the price and were shocked to find it cost $77 USD each. Prices across the island were extremely high, and using a credit card incurs an additional 15% fee. The duration of the tour also felt excessive. We were on the island from 10:30 AM until around 4:00 PM. At one point, the guide mentioned that someone had paid to extend our stay, which was inconsiderate to those with flights or other commitments. If I were to visit the island again, I would opt to charter a private boat and bring my own snacks and beverages. The prices were exorbitant, and the constant solicitation from local vendors was overwhelming—you often had to be firm for them to leave you alone.

The ride to the island was fine. We were on a small speed beat with about 12-15 people in it. The island is very crowded, but that's what we were looking for, a crowded place to have fun, there was lots of food, drinks, and entertainment. The guys there selling the oysters and the necklace can get annoying because they come to you like every 5 minutes. But overall I would do it again.

This experience was cool. There are opportunities to party with new people! The food wasn’t that expensive. The most difficult part was riding in the speed boat back to the city because they are fighting the waves , tides or current and you will feel like you’re going to fall off !

Good experience with nice animations and setting, Melissa and Lucia has been wonderful, I would definitely take them out!

Omg wè had sou much !! The dancers is a bonus.amazing boat tide Melissa and Lucy is funny and they're a vibe on the boat. Please come to Cholon on Saturday, start off slow but it begins to pick up around noon
