BONA VIDA CATAMARAN

DAY TRIP Rosario Islands

Whilst this isn't technically a beach or island, taking the Bona Vida Catamaran Rosario Islands tour enables you to check out the islands in luxury so we're including it in this list anyway. ​So first up, the Bona Vida is a beautiful boat. It seems close to brand new and has stunning design and finishings and convenient inclusions such as full kitchen, bathrooms and stairs that lead down directly to the water from the boat which if you've ever had to try and haul yourselves, soggy and ungracefully, up onto a boat, I'm sure you'll be grateful for. 

The day pass is a full day trip to the Rosario Islands where the getting-there is just as enjoyable as the destination itself. The big boat is spacious so you don't feel cramped, there's a bar serving drinks, you'll enjoy a tasty seafood rice or vegetarian rice for lunch, there's padding everywhere so you can swan around and take selfies in style or just sleep off the hangover from the night before. You'll get to check out and tour around the different islands that make up the archipelago of the Rosario Islands and they even include snorkel gear complimentarily.

In my experience, the crowd has been varied.. I've seen groups of both sexes who are on board to party or celebrate bachelor/bachelorette etc so it might be a good option if you're looking for party/meeting people options.  But then it's also ok for kids because it isn't rough and they enter at a discounted price. There's loud, party music most of the journey so if that is bothersome this might not be for you.

Overall I think it's an awesome option to get to experience the rosario islands in comfortable luxury. Because it's a bigger boat, it's also good for people who might not do so well in bumpy conditions.

The prices are 258,000 pesos for adults, 129,000 pesos 7-14 yrs, and free for everyone else. 

This includes:

Welcome cocktail (can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
snack
lunch (seafood rice or vegetarian rice)
non-alcoholic drinks with lunch
snorkel equipment
all marine taxes (so that's usually 16,500 pesos pp)

Hours:
Board the boat at 8am
Departure 8.30am 
Return 4pm

Departure point:
Muelle de Las Bodeguitas (this is the dock located closest to the famous clock tower (torre del reloj) you will spot the beautiful Bona Vida as soon as you arrive.

What to bring:
Swimwear, towels, cameras, sunscreen, sun protection, money for buying extra drinks (be prepared.. the drinks are definitely on the pricier side let us know if you want us to get you a look at the menu beforehand)

If you'd like to book this option or have any questions, please send us an email to info@cartagenaconnections.com letting us know  you want to book the Bona Vida Day Pass to Rosario Islands, your name, how many people (and ages if kids are going), and the date you want to book for. Also see the Bona Vida sunset cruise option below.

SUNSET CRUISE

The same amazing boat, but just a short and sweet 2-hour cruise around the bay of Cartagena allowing you to take in all the splendor of the beautiful sunsets here. This is mostly a relaxing afternoon on the water. I say mostly because we have also helped wedding parties book this as a welcome event for their group and things ended up getting pretty rowdy! But yes, mostly, it's chill and potentially very romantic with the right company. Cartagena viewed from the point of view of the water is pretty special, making this a really nice inclusion in your Cartagena itinerary. 

Price is 66,000 pesos for adults, 33,000 pesos for 7-14 years and free for 6 and under.

This includes:
Snack
Cocktail (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)

Schedule:
Board at 4.45pm
Depart at 5pm
Return at 7pm

Departure and return point is the same Muelle de Las Bodeguitas, the dock located nearest to the famous clock tower (Torre del reloj). 

To book, please send us an email to info@cartagenaconnections.com letting us know your name, how many people you're booking for (and ages if they are kids), and what date you'd like to book for.
