Cholon boat party
Overall a fun day. Note that the itinerary is as described and you will spend most of the day at cholon island. We stopped at Ibbiza beach club for about an hour prior to cholon. The boat will likely not be the one in the images. You will likely not stop or see the other islands. Note that your pickup spot may be used for other excursions so look for the travel agency and confirm your name. Pickup and drop off spot will be different. You will be dropped off as a group near the clock tower mid to late afternoon. Excursion is slightly more expensive than other similar tours. Additionally on cholon island there are many vendors and items can be overcharged and you will have to negotiate the price. Keep in mind the conversions to your currency. Additionally you WILL get wet as you must climb off the boat directly into the water and walk to your tables in the water. (Watch a video of how the excursion looks and will go on TikTok) Included: 2 beers and water (you can bring your own alcohol and store on the boat cooler) and lunch when you arrive at cholon island (chicken, fish or vegetarian options) You can also buy drinks and food at your stops, you can bring bottles off of the boat. Please bring: towels, cash (smaller bills) and waterproof floating case for phone, sunscreen, sunglasses, water shoes etc.
Response from the operator: Dear Julia Thank you very much for your 5-star review and for sharing such a detailed description of your experience. We are very happy to know that you had a fun day exploring the Rosario Islands and Cholón. We truly appreciate you highlighting useful tips for future travelers, such as bringing cash, towels, and sun protection, as well as explaining how the day usually flows during the excursion. Our goal at Costeña Travel is always to provide an enjoyable and authentic Caribbean experience, and it means a lot to know you had a great time with us. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure in Cartagena. Warm regards, Jelyneth Osorio Costeña Travel

Scammers on the island. Said they would charge my card 400! Charged 880. Liars
They are thief’s on the island. Do not give them a card !literally will charge anything they want to . I will never return .
Response from the operator: We’re sorry to hear about your perception. For clarity, payments on the island are optional and only made if the guest decides to consume additional products or services outside what is included in the tour. We always recommend our travelers verify prices before accepting any extra purchases. At Costeña Travel, we work with authorized providers and promote transparent practices. If you experienced any specific issue, we invite you to contact us directly so we can review it properly.

Bad trip
Definitely a scammers operation. Do not book. They will take you out in the middle of the ocean and let their friends take advantage of you. Then they all lie in your face.
Response from the operator: We’re sorry to read that you feel this way. At Costeña Travel, we operate with authorized providers and transparent processes, and we never allow or promote any form of fraud or abuse toward our guests. Thousands of travelers have enjoyed this experience safely and satisfactorily.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Cartagena is not rushed.
Is Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón?
+
Around 27 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 Cartagena 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 Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cartagena's Legendary Boat Party : Full Day in Cholón 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 Cartagena 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 Cartagena?
+
On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel. 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 Cartagena?
+
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 Cartagena?
+
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.
