So much fun!!!
Your driver did an amazing job with the waves!! We have a boat here in the states and know how hard it is to maneuver boats over high swells/waves…he takes good care of your boat! We had a great day. Wish we would have done it at the beginning of our trip instead of the last day. We would have loved to go out for a second day!! Raccoons at the end were the highlight of our trip!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We are happy you enjoyed the day with your family. Cheers!

Extremely overpriced for...
Extremely overpriced for experience. The night before found that there were many up charges on top of the $720 spent. Did not even get close to the full time. Very poor experience.
Response from the operator: Hi Todd, we are very disappointed while reading this review after giving you a great service and quoting from you "Snorkeling and capri are great." As any experience in the world if you want to upgrade it or add more service to it, it will have an additional value, we are sure as a traveler you understand that. We were very kind and responsive with you, we added a courtesy bottle of wine, courtesy snorkel masks and double up the beers onboard, however it seems it wasn't enough to fulfill your expectations. Remember the time to come back to the city may vary according to the sea and wind conditions, our captain will always prioritize safety. Your review helps us to improve and give us a great lesson. I will be happy to invite you a round of drinks next time you visit Cartagena. Kind regards,

Amazing experience
So Viator was absolutely atrocious with customer service and completely insensitive. I had a family situation last minute which I understood the cancellation policy and I had reached out to Viator at first they said they would help and did adjust my date to two weeks later as per my request but an hour later the said I was SOL and that they couldn’t do anything about it where I would have lost my money. Fortunately for me this company, Dennis specifically was kind and flexible and was able to work with me. I’m very grateful and very appreciative. Amazing customer services the two captains Wilberto and his partner were extremely attentive, hospitable, and professional. They truly took care of us went above and beyond for us. I also injured myself and sprained my foot and they took very good care of me waited for us to get an uber once they dropped us off at a pier closer to a hotel, throughout they were very attentive and gave us a great tour. I felt like they truly advocated for us overall.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cartagena to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Cartagena to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat cost?
+
Prices start at $720 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 to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 26 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 to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat?
+
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 to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cartagena to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat?
+
Around 9 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cartagena to Rosario Islands Luxury Private boat 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 VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system. 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.
