    Best excursion off the ship. Perfect day

    Spent the day here via a Princess Cruises line excursion. Very beautiful resort, relaxing and enjoyable We sat at the pool drinking cocktails Lunch was delicious and service was very good. Monet well spent for a relaxing day on the water. Minimal shopping opportunities but what was available was enough and the goods were reasonable. Nice selection, great boat ride to the resort. Not crowded which is a plus!! Money well spent!!

    Do not recommend at all

    Well, food is terrible, it is not a hotel buffet but rather a worker’s meal. Everything that would make this a good experience is extra. Aquarium sucks and is a 25 minutes boat away. The sea is nothing that the pictures show. It is a murky river. The beach is small. The only upside of the whole day was the quality dept of the hotel taht tried to accommodate our concerns but unfortunately only found us close to the time we were leaving

    Anniversary Trip to Cartajena

    The boat ride out was good. The day at the beach was remarkable with great cocktails, crystal clear water, and a great lunch. The down ide to the day was the crazy boat ride back to Cartajena. The water was rough. I know the tour operator is not responsible for Mother Nature, however, they should have a way to compensate for her to make the guests feel safe while travelling.

    Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por tu opinion es muy valiosa y la tomamos en cuneta para ofrecerles mejor servicio dia a dia

    Full day Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full day Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands cost?

    +

    Prices start at $158 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 Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands 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 Full day Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 54 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 Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands?

    +

    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 Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands 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 Full day Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands?

    +

    Around 19 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 Full day Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands 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.

    What is included in Full day Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands?

    +

    Included: Speedboat transportation; Lunch; kayaking; and Sun loungers, Beach beds and Pool. Not included: Boarding tax; Entrance to the Oceanarium; and Boarding fee, Oceanarium. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full day Isla del Encanto - Rosario Islands include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Cartagena. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
