It was pretty good. Large catamaran that can fit a lot of people but not feel overly crowded. Music wasn’t so blaring loud but loud enough to hear it well. Crew was great. Beverages were good. Food was plentiful and very good. Lots of time traveling to the two locations for snorkeling, which is the only bad thing but it’s totally out of their control. I wouldn’t call this a party boat, which to us is good!
This was an amazing experience in a relaxed very comfortable Catamaran. Clean settings and bathroom. Spots they stop for are away from the crowds. Food served on the boat is top notch freshly prepared. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Great for people who want to spend a relaxing day in the water.
Highly recommended, I loved it... everything they promised was fulfilled. I indulged in diving from the catamaran; it was a lovely adventure.
Great experience with the family. The catamaran was amazing enough space for everyone and the food was delicious.
Wonderful sailing and attentive crew! Sailed to two anchor points to swim/snorkel. Snorkel gear is provided free of charge just requires an ID hold for collateral. Three lunch options: seafood, chicken or vegetarian all with rice, salad and fruit Drinks were very well priced and tasted good. They only accept card or tap and pay on board. Clean bathrooms! Do keep in mind they do not stop and go ashore anywhere this is strictly a sailing trip. We were happy with this as it allows for a much for relaxing slower paced day
Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sailing experience, our attentive crew, the lunch options, and our onboard amenities like the complimentary snorkel gear and clean facilities. As you perfectly mentioned, our experience is designed strictly as a sailing and anchoring trip on our sail-and-motor vessel, without going ashore. We are so glad this allowed you to enjoy a much more relaxing, slower-paced day on the water, taking in the beautiful scenery and swimming at the anchor points. Thank you also for highlighting our payment methods (card and tap-and-pay only) to help future travelers prepare for their trip! We hope to welcome you on board again soon for another wonderful day at sea. Best regards, The Bona Vida Catamaran Team ⛵🌊
We had a fantastic time on the Rosario Islands catamaran tour! The weather was absolutely beautiful, and the water was crystal clear and perfect for swimming and relaxing. We loved spending the day floating around the islands and taking in the incredible scenery. The food served on the boat was surprisingly good, and while drinks were an additional cost, the prices were very reasonable. The crew was friendly, the atmosphere was fun and laid-back, and the entire experience was well organized. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cartagena and looking for a great day on the water!

absolutely horrible do not book this. they take you to a very ugly “beach” that looks like an a piece of land with rocks and vegetation. it is NOT the one advertised at all. you can’t even get off and lay and tan, walk etc cause there’s absolutely nothing there. we swam in the water which was not at all crystal clear. i regret doing this excursion DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED!!!
Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that our excursion does not include a beach stop or disembarkation on the islands. As described in our itinerary, it is a catamaran sailing experience with swimming and snorkeling stops in natural anchoring areas of the Rosario Islands. Guests remain on board throughout the excursion, which is one of the main characteristics of this experience. The locations visited are natural marine environments, and water clarity can vary depending on weather, tides, currents, and other environmental conditions beyond our control. We regret that you were expecting a different type of excursion, such as a beach club or island-hopping experience. We encourage future guests to carefully review the itinerary to ensure it matches the type of day they are looking for. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. Kind regards, Bona Vida Catamaranes Team
It was well organized. Excellent service, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. The duration of the adventure was just enough for one day on the Caribbean Sea. The only downside was the snorkeling but only because there was not much to see if I compared it to other snorkeling adventures I did in the past. Overall we recommend it as a solid option to enjoy in a controlled and secure way
Hello, thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the organization of the excursion, the service provided by our crew, and the quality of the food on board. It’s also great to know that you felt the duration of the experience was well balanced for a day on the Caribbean Sea. We appreciate your comments regarding the snorkeling. As the activity takes place in a natural marine environment, the visibility, coral conditions, and marine life can vary significantly and may differ from other snorkeling destinations. We understand that expectations can vary, especially for guests with extensive snorkeling experience. Thank you as well for highlighting the safe and controlled nature of the experience. Providing a comfortable, enjoyable, and secure day at sea is one of our top priorities. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board in the future. Kind regards, Bona Vida Catamaranes Team
It was wonderful, less of a party , more of a family trip. The food was good and everybody was nice and helpful.
