Enjoy one of the most popular beaches for tourists, so consider one of the best in Colombia; its shade of colors and white sand, load capacity and absence of street vendors make it a unique destination for family rest.

Inefficient tour operator
They did not pick me up from the hotel, having been included in the tour payment. So I had to travel to Tayrona Park on our own. Where I didn't know what to do, they didn't give me a solution to the situation in the park. So I called the tour operator, who after a while, came to meet us and we were able to take the tour.

Playa Cristal Tayrona National Park
The blue sea is beautiful and its landscape of mountains and full blue sky.They have capacity to enter the park and agencies pick up visitors between 4 in the morning and 5 in the morning. Shopping, restaurants and shops before entering are chaotic. Food and bad service. On the beach double the prices of all chairs, awnings, food, drinks. Sad about this. The tourist is shot with everything. It's a shame. He'll have to get better.

It could have been better.
The day we went was closed the tayrona so this was the only beach visited by visitors, so it was very full with no space to sunbathe, and there were many bubbles who swatted the beach and did it with little toilet

Crystal Beach was amazing
Great day at a beautiful beach. The beach was a little crowded but no bad. Bring plenty of cash for upgrades like tents, snorkeling, & food. It is a long bumpy ride to the boats, but well worth the trek. We had a blast & the beach/water far surpasses Santa Marta beaches.

Worst tour ever, it might work only for local tourists, not for foreigners.
The tour was not in english, the pick up time was mentioned late in the night and i had to pay extra when i missed the tour bus. No details of the tour was provided, like the launch ride needs to be paid separately.
Operator response
Good morning, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Your opinion is very useful for us and thus improve services.
