    Experience at Inca Inca beach

    Inca Inca is a beautiful beach that is located in Santa Marta, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It is such a quiet place that you can relax really easily. The atmosphere is usually calm and warm, and the sea is incredibly clear. There are some small restaurants and palm trees along the shore. It is not as crowded as other beaches, so you can enjoy the view in peace. If you visit Inca Inca, you will be able to swim in the warm water and sunbathe on the soft sand. You will also try delicious fresh fish at the local restaurants. I recommend that you walk along the shore at sunset, because the view is incredible. You will definitely take great photos there. Also, you will enjoy renting a boat or simply playing beach games with your friends. I went to Inca Inca last year with my family and some friends, and we had an incredible time. We swam, ate fish, and played volleyball on the sand. While we watched the sunset, we laughed a lot and took many photos. That day was special to me because I shared it with people I love. I really recommend this beach; it is a magical place.

    Total rip off- avoid!

    This was a total rip off, there was no tour. About an hour after the 10 am start time a rep walked me to the public boat taxi stand , bought me a regular return ticket for 25,000 pesos, (about £5) gave me a lunch ticket and sent me on my way alone. No guiding, nothing. The lunch cost 40,000 peso, so I total the trip cost 65,000 pesos but I was charged £35 for absolutely nothing. In fact it would have been easiest to do it myself as I had to wait around for an HR in the heat for the guy to walk me 5 mins to the boat pier. Don't buy this trip! Just go to the dock and get your own ticket

    Don't do this! Tourist trap!

    You can better take a taxi boat from one of the bigger companies like Taximarinda and you'll get the same which is practically not more than a ride to one of the better beaches. At the marina they 'guide' bought tickets for the boat for us (meaning they overcharged us!!) and this 'guide' we booked, supposedly speaking English. Did not speak any other language but Spanish. The lunch that was included took ages, and was not good. The meat was like rubber and we had to wait ages for pasta with shrimps. We'd need to be back at th r marina at 4, but it started to rain so all boats started leaving. No one gave us a return ticket which apparently was necessary to get back to Rodadero. Thanks to a lady who spoke a bit of English, we could explain the situation to the captain of the boat, who finally let us on the boat. Otherwise we would still be on plata Blanca I guess. So no! Don't do this! If you want to take a tour, book with a different company. And if you want just a tour to one of the better beaches: take a normal taxi boat.

    Overall we had a great time. Just wish things were more organized

    Had a nice time but the agency was unorganized. We where told to be there a little before 9am so we could leave by 9. We got there at 8:45 am but we didn't leave to almost 11 am. At the beach at the end everything was crazy. No signs to tell us which boat we needed to get on. Also to get the food took forever. Overall we did have a great time

    A beautiful excursion.

    Have booked three excursions on Viator for Santa Marta, Colombia. Have taken two of the three tours. First two tours were disorganized on meeting location - not clear at all. Hoping the third is better. Playa Blanca was beautiful. The lunch was delicious. Boat ride to the beach provided magnificent views of the Sierra Madre.

    Full Day to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Marta 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 to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 Santa Marta is not rushed.

    Is Full Day to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Marta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch?

    +

    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 to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch?

    +

    Around 2 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 Santa Marta 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 Santa Marta and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch 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 Santa Marta 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 Santa Marta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Santa Marta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta, 4-Day Lost City Small-Group Tour in Santa Marta, 4-Day Walking Tour to Lost City of Sierra Nevada. 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 Santa Marta?

    +

    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 Santa Marta?

    +

    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 to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca Santa Marta with Lunch?

    +
