    Amazing 5 day bike trip!

    I did the five day trip from Santa Marta to Punta Gallinas and back. It was truly incredible. Jack was my guide and it felt like I was on a trip with one of my best friends. He also made sure that the trip felt very safe and adventurous at the same time. Perfect ending of my 5 week journey through Colombia.

    More Than A Moto Tour ~ A Rich Cultural Journey Through One Of Columbias More Remote Regions

    While visiting family in Australia for Xmas last month I discovered that my “cousins” (4 Aussie boys aged 20 to 30) had booked a 5-day motorcycle tour in a remote part of Columbia. What started as the chiding of the “old man” and a challenge for me physically turned into so much more when I decided to join them for this adventure. The 5-day tour getting to Punta Galinas (the Northern most part of South America) is an area not easily accessible. This tour had us traveling through a variety of terrain including bustling urban areas (leaving and returning to Santa Marta), winding coastal roads through beach villages, barren harsh desert crossings with patches of deep sand, technical single track on rocky terrain up and down elevation, ocean front sand dunes and high mountain villages. At one point we even “ferried” our motorcycles a short 5 minutes on 20ft. wooden boats between peninsulas to save a days worth of back-tracking to continue our route. Suffice to say taxi, tour bus or Uber are not options and the places we toured are only accessible by motorcycle or lifted 4x4 off-road vehicles. Many companies can surely link together a challenging terrain package to satisfy a two-wheeled enthusiast but Adrenaline Addicts did something more that I didn’t expect by providing a unique and rich cultural experience of a part of Columbia very far from the wealthy privileged few living more posh lives in the business cities like Bogota. Travel is something that I value and a rich life for me is a life filled with experiences and not necessarily things. Many thanks to our moto guides Santiago and Robin for showing me a part of this country I didn’t know or understand and for educating me on the history of the region, the people and lifestyles of those living in the region and some of the political challenges facing the country in serving the needs of the people in the region. Most of the areas we transited were underdeveloped and poor. We saw families living in the desert without shoes, plumbing optional, fresh drinking water scarce and electricity never guaranteed. We experienced unexpected protests of the people in the Northern most port city who closed down the roads and rails to the port city to get government attention for the needs of the region. Our guides organized a visit to an indigenous tribe living high in the mountains solely off the land and resistant to change or the influx of modern amenities. A simple life they having been living for generations. Humbling and thought provoking for me……. As a gift of being allowed to ride high up and visit their villages we stopped at a market along the way and purchased rice, flour, cooking oil and beans to give to households living in grass huts. We also brought candy and treats for the children who rarely are afforded such things. In short…I’m thankful that our moto guides delivered more than just 5 days of a terrain challenge. I’m equally as grateful for the rich cultural experience and education mixed in with it. Thank you Santiago and Robin again for broadening my perspective. If you want a unique adventure and don’t mind 5 days of two-wheeled travel I highly recommend this trip. If 5 days is too long for you on a motorcycle I’m sure you would enjoy one of Adrenaline Addicts’ shorter trips because of how they organize and deliver their tour experiences. A great experience is more dependent on the people guiding you as well as the people you meet along the way and this adventure hit a home run for me this week. I’m homeward bound in the morning with a fresh look on living the life I have left…. Adrenaline Addicts rocks!

    5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Marta.

    How much does 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,208 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Marta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Marta is not rushed.

    Is 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Santa Marta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Marta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Marta and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Marta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Santa Marta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Santa Marta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta, 4-Day Lost City Small-Group Tour in Santa Marta, 4-Day Walking Tour to Lost City of Sierra Nevada. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Santa Marta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Santa Marta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour?

    +

    Included: Twin-share lodging; Lunch; Honda XR150 dual sport motorcycle; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Alcoholic drinks at the end of the day. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
