    Loved it

    Views were amazing. You’re greeted with a nice cold drink. They have day beds and umbrella with chairs. It was great experience. Food was also great there

    Response from the operator: Sounds like a perfect day! Amazing views, a refreshing drink to start, and comfy day beds—can’t get much better than that. Glad you enjoyed the food too! Thanks for sharing your experience, and we’d love to have you join us for another adventure soon! – Backpackers Travel

    Perfect balance

    Milton was a great tour guide. Easy to talk to and great vibes. The 3 island tour was a perfect balance of adventure and relaxing. The vegetarian lunch was fantastic. The check in process was a bit long but once on the boat, everything was smooth.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your awesome feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Milton. It’s great to hear that you loved the mix of adventure and relaxation, along with the vegetarian lunch! We appreciate your patience during check-in and are happy everything went smoothly once you were on the boat. We hope to see you again for more adventures! Best, Backpackers Travel

    Paradise

    Crista clear turquoise sea. Warm about 27o C. Nicely arranged place with all accessories needed for beach. Recommended use of protective shoes in the sea because of cutting corals. But corals by its self are beautiful.. so I took them with me. Surrounded by mango trees very interesting in form. A different arquitecture , houses really emerging from surface of the sea. PARADISE for Srorkling. A little bit too pushy local salesman of "jewelry". Maritime police: very polite,very present but not visible . Do not trough trash in the sea,sou can be stopped.

    Response from the operator: gracias por su comentario y nos alegra que haya pasado una buena experiencia

    Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 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 Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature?

    +

    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 Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature?

    +

    Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Encantada beach Rosario Island Nature 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.
