I recommend 10/10 to everyone
The best beach in Cartagena, it was the best trip we took. The lunch was very good too.

Isla Palma, a paradise in the Colombian Caribbean
The place is impressive, a paradise in the Colombian Caribbean; we definitely had an incredible time, our waiter Cesar was super attentive and helpful. The boat trip was quite good; on the way back the sea was a bit choppy, but that is completely normal.

Mario our captain was...
Mario our captain was amazing. The weather was horrible driving out to the island, not in his control. If you don’t speak or understand Spanish don’t go. Appeared people received priority seating. Definitely not Americans. Boat was nice but partial shade. Wear sunblock it’s a 2 hr ride across the Atlantic. Isla Palma is paradise buuuut the bathrooms were atrocious. Food was horrendous. I was literally given a slab of pork fat with one bite of meat, dry old rice and hot soup. Save your money but Mario deserves an applause.

The worst in the island transfer

Isla Palma
I booked this tour six weeks before arriving to Cartagena. Two days before this company cancels my tour without informing me. The only reason I found out is because I texted the tour company to confirm our reservation and they said that I did not have a tour with them. I showed them a copy of my reservation and they responded that they were sold out and if I wanted to rebook my reservation that I was going to have to pay a new amount which was $232 US dollars after I had already paid them $1,200 for the tour. DO NOT BOOK A TOUR WITH THIS COMPANY. Clear communication is essential for a positive tour experience, and this tour fell short in that area. TIPS: Bring extra cash, the tour says port fees are $30,000 COP, they charge more than that and you are forced to purchase insurance, so it's more like $40,000 COP per person. *Bring water, they sell everything on the Island, and do not allow snacks or outside drinks (other than water) because they want you to only consume there. *Lunch is served from 12:30-2pm, fish, chicken, rice, salad, soup, bread, dessert and juice is provided. You board boat for your return at 2:15pm. *Only a small fruit cup is served, and its a 2 hour boat ride to the Island. You will be starving when you arrive. They sell food there and it is expensive. Or you can starve until lunch. *Bring your own towels, none are provided. *Everyone speaks Spanish. I never heard anything translated to English. *Beach is beautiful and calm, but not worth the 5:30 am pick-up time. FYI there is no drop off service, you must arrange your own back to your hotel. *Boat ride back to Cartagena was terrible, we got waterboarded for 2 1/2 hours straight. We wore our goggles the entire ride back

Full Day Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Full Day Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food cost?
+
Prices start at $199 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 Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food 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 Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 10 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 Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food?
+
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 Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food 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 Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food?
+
Around 4 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 Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food 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 Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food?
+
Included: Refreshing Welcome Cocktail at the Hotel; Beach bathing in white sand and turquoise water; Pick up from the hotel to the Bodeguita Pier; Gourmet lunch; and Transfer by boat to Palma Island. Not included: Pier Entrance Tax (6 USD) or (30,000 COP); and Visit the Biopark (5 USD). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full Day Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 79 listed pickup locations in and around Cartagena. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Private Beach Club Palma Island and Full Food?
+
