Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Als je vanuit Santa Marta komt, zal de gids je ontmoeten bij de bushalte en ga je verder met de reguliere route.
In deze tour haalt een gids je op in een motor, die een deel van de tour je vervoer zal zijn. Vervolgens maak je een wandeling van 40 minuten door het omliggende bos van Palomino. Daar zal de gids je een korte les geven over de flora en fauna van het gebied. En als je geluk hebt, en de lucht is helder genoeg, kun je de twee belangrijkste toppen van de Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta zien: Simon Bolivar en Colon. Als je klaar bent, neem je je drijvende banden en reddingsvesten stroomafwaarts van de Palomino-rivier. Er zal een deel van stroomversnellingen in deze route zijn, maar je zult ook genieten van het afdalen van de rivier in de natuur. Eindelijk komt u bij de monding van de Palomino-rivier, de exacte plaats waar deze de Caribische Zee ontmoet.
Als de tour begint vanuit Santa Marta, is de terugkeer om 15.30 uur vanaf de bushalte, dus je hebt wat tijd om Palomino op eigen houtje te verkennen of te genieten van het strand.

Great trip, no fault of the tour but the river was very murky due to recent rain falls. Very well looked after and they were just 2 of us, so it was very informative. The only reason I knocked off 1 star is because I contracted both Weils disease and Dengue Fever. Wear loads of mozzies spray, and do not walk around barefoot
Thank you for your detailed and honest review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the trip overall and felt well taken care of, especially with the more personalized experience. We’re sorry to hear about your health issues following the tour—that must have been very difficult. We truly appreciate you sharing this important advice for future travelers. Your feedback is very valuable, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with another, much smoother experience in the future.
We absolutely loved this tour! Everything was as described and Luis was so great and helpful every step of the way, from being responsive on Whats App helping me to figure out the transport from Tayrona ( we took the public bus to meeting point in Palomino which was super easy), to carrying my tube for me while on the moto-bike ride. Moto-bike ride was super fun, the hiking portion was also great, along with the tubing. We ended with a great lunch at the spot where the tubing ended on the Caribbean in Palomino afterwards, before our moto-bike ride back to where we had to meet the bus. This tour was the perfect mix of adventure, beauty and relaxation. Tubing down the river was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. We brought a couple beers with us to enjoy on the river which was nice, but there was also a guy set up in the middle of the hike selling drinks and snacks that you can purchase that stuff from. Our group consisted of just us and one other couple who by the end of the day we felt like we had made new friends in both them and Luis. Luis also took some great pictures of us throughout the tour which I always appreciate. Such a great day! I highly recommend doing this exact tour with this company.
Thank you for your amazing and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience and that everything—from the coordination and transport to the adventure activities—went smoothly. It’s wonderful to know Luis made such a positive impact with his helpfulness, great attitude, and attention to detail throughout the day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours for another unforgettable experience soon!
We had a great time, attraction that is out of the ordinary and superb walk. Our guide was on top
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted you enjoyed such a unique activity and a beautiful walk. It’s wonderful to hear the guide made it even more special. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours soon!
For those who want to make this descent in February 2026, know that the river is higher than normal with all the rain they have received. The minimum would be to know how to swim, because there are no flotation jackets provided and the current is strong. But everything went well for our group, the small rapids were appreciated by all! Bring mosquito repellent and water, as there is a good climb to do before the river.
Thank you for sharing your experience and these very helpful recommendations! We truly appreciate you highlighting the river conditions and the importance of being prepared, especially regarding swimming ability and what to bring. Your advice will certainly help future travelers have a safer and more enjoyable experience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours!
Great, very relaxing experience with clean explanation from Jaïr, our tour guide. We also went with Jaïr to the Tayarona parc, where he showed us around. We recommend Jaïr as a great, wide experienced tour guide for the area!
Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed such a relaxing and well-explained experience, and that your time in Tayrona felt so special. It’s wonderful to hear Jaïr’s experience and guidance made a great impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours soon!
Superb family activity. Getting there by motorbike from our hotel pick-up is an activity in itself. A short walk along the path to get to the river (we sweat big drops) and then let yourself drift on the river through the mountains and its breathtaking landscapes. Arrival is by the sea where you can enjoy a delicious meal at the restaurant on the beach. Many thanks to our guide Super Mario for his dynamism and all his explanations about the fauna, flora and local customs.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed such an adventurous experience. It’s great to know that Mario made the day even more special with his energy and explanations about the local fauna, flora, and traditions. Thank you for choosing Gran Colombia Tours. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Our tubing guide, David, was wonderful. Kind, careful and fun. The tubing bit was peaceful and relaxing. A few words of advice: it's a long day out (7am - 5.30pm) and having a Spanish speaker in your group would be helpful. An email with practical advice on what to bring, what to wear, schedule etc would have been appreciated. We were quite confused at times as to what was going on! Also be warned, the trip involves mototaxis which are exhilarating but not for the nervous traveller! Overall a great day out!
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and that David made the day so special. We have taken your comments into account and have already made some adjustments to improve communication and provide clearer pre-trip information, helping future travelers feel more prepared and comfortable. Your feedback is very valuable as we continue enhancing our experiences.
Our guide arranged for the pick-up from our hotel, a jeep brought us as far as possible and then we walked for 25 mn in the forest before reaching the river. We then went down the river for 2 hours. Our guide, Davide, was very friendly and indicated spots where kids could jump off and swim. The river is very safe and it was a very peaceful experience.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your river adventure with David as your guide. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours
Very nice setting: sole for walk as for tubing. Very sympathetic guide, David, who helped us when needed. Think about bringing water☺️
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful setting for both the hike and tubing, and that David’s assistance made the experience even better. We truly appreciate you choosing Gran Colombia Tours and hope to welcome you again in Colombia!
