The tour was very well organized. From the beginning, we received all the guidelines on the itinerary and on the activities planned for the day. We were also offered four lunch options.
The tour includes stops at five islands of the Rosário Archipelago, which is formed by about 27 islands, some of which are currently private property. As the stops are relatively quick, but they allow you to contemplate the impressive blue of the sea and the beautiful natural landscapes of the region.
In one of the stages, it is possible to choose between visiting the Aquarium or snorkeling. I chose snorkeling and really liked the experience.
The tour is quite touristic, and many participants do not stay for the plankton activity. In my opinion, however, observing bioluminescence is precisely the highlight of this adventure and is very worthwhile!
Before the activity, we received explanations about the phenomenon, guidelines on how to enjoy it safely, and information about the return. Since the tour ends around 8 PM, the return to Cartagena is made by land transport. In the end, we were dropped off at the hotel, just as happened on the way out for the tour.
It was a very beautiful, well-conducted, and organized experience. I especially recommend that you do the complete tour, including the plankton observation.

Nefarious service
Bad experience. The pickup time at 08:00 and they showed up, if prior notice at 7:20 at the hotel where I was staying. They didn't even contact the hotel front desk to let me know. I have WhatsApp conversations with the company, in which they try to justify themselves and do not apologize.

Lamentamos todo el incoveniente, el guia coordino la guianza mas temprano por condiciones climatologica, escribimos a un numero que no era de usted ni tampoco nos dieron referencia de su numero que habian dejado en la reserva, por eso hicimos un reembolso completo por el incumplimiento de horario de recogida que fue lo mas temprano a lo habitual.. gracias por habernos escogido..

Not a great experience
Service was awful. The food was awful. There is not much to do in the islands and everyone wants to sell you something. The only nice thing is that the nature is pretty.

Rosario islands and plankton experience!
Nice way to swim in the Rosario Islands. Snorkel was nice in the Caribbean water and the plankton experience was amazing! Long day but definitely recommended!

Very expensive for what they offer. Much to improve
It has very good points and some very bad ones. The good: our guide TJ is excellent, always very attentive to what we need and taking care of us at all times. The island where we had lunch was very good, delicious indeed, until that moment everything was going very well.
The bad thing: there are not complete snorkeling equipment for everyone (5 complete ones for 22 people), the others only give us the lenses, so we cannot see what the photos show and the journey becomes tiring. In Baru it is too uncomfortable the number of vendors that harass you, it is not possible to have a good time at all.
The worst thing: to go to the plankton they changed our guide for one called Luis, the boy showed up in the middle of the bone plankton activity in the middle of the darkness we were never able to see his face, then when we got off the boat he yelled at us and forced to go down despite how rough the sea was, the worst service of all.
Regarding the boat trips: if it goes very fast, it is up to each person whether they like the experience or not, we enjoyed it a lot, but we heard of people who had a bad time because they are afraid to go so fast.

Long day with some highs and lows
Not a bad trip but not what I expected it to be. The boat was packed full and it didn’t feel like we had much room. We also had a boat that was not fully covered and we all got soaked from the rain. Our belongings got wet as well so there was no way to get dry and warm.
Snorkeling was nice but only masks were included. Beautiful fish and coral and it was neat to see the plane wreck.
Lunch was delicious but we were all so cold and wet from the rain and wind so it was hard to enjoy. The weather cleared up later in the day and made the experience more enjoyable.
The stop at Cholon was not my favorite. It was a dirty party island and drinks were around $50USD, especially paying by credit card. One of the girls on the trip likely had her phone stolen and was not able to recover it.
Bioluminescent plankton was cool and I’d recommend staying for this part if the weather is good. However, boarding the boat for the plankton experience was dangerous and the boat was crashing against the shore and it was completely dark. Boat driver also drove very fast on the way back from plankton experience and it was difficult on the neck and back.
Our guide David was good and our boat driver during the day was good as well.
Overall it was good, but not what I expected.

Snorkel boat ditched me in the ocean alone!
The snorkeling boat left me behind at rhea second stop!
I was left floating, alone in the ocean!
This is unacceptable!

We regret everything that happened, we have made decisions regarding the poor coordination of the activity.
The guide got confused with the snorkeling equipment and thought that everyone was on the boat, but he did not know that you brought your own equipment. We are sorry for the confusion.

The attention is impeccable, without a doubt recommended.
It was a unique experience to know more about Cartagena, I went alone and had a wonderful time with the people. The guides are excellent people, attentive to everything. I loved snorkeling. The place the guide chose to snorkel was very beautiful. The places to visit, follow the guide's recommendations and you won't have a bad time.

Disappointing
Excessive little time to enjoy each activity. The wait to visit the bog is very long and once there, only 10 minutes. Nothing like the photos with which they promote it.
It is not advisable to do so with young children or older people. There are too many people everywhere. We have to wait for chairs and resting tables. You can't see the fortification. Snorkeling is very interesting indeed. Same as Pablo Escobar's Jet Plane! Lunch is okay. Don't be fooled on the island of Cholón!!!!
They promote Pablo Escobar's drink, but it's 5 times more expensive than the rest and has nothing particular. A scam for the unwary!!!!!

Great tour with great guide.
Our guide Adrianno was fantastic. He went above and beyond explaining everything, courteous and offered to take pictures of us in the water while snorkeling. The food was fantastic and the timing of everything was perfect, bot too long or too short in every stop. Saw Escobars plane underwater, and had a stop at private island with food and drinks (extra).
Be prepared for a bumpy ride back! The captain did his best to smooth it out and wasn't really that bad.
