What you'll see and do
Marinilla
Visit an animal farm and interact and feed them. At this place you find Ostriches, Llamas, Alpacas, Horses, Ponies & Miniature Donkeys, Donkeys & Mules, Cows & "Vacas Paturras", Koi Fish, rabbits and Goats & Little Pigs. It's a beautiful place and very enjoyable for both adults and children. Since our tour is private we can skip this stop and spend more time in the rock or the town or we can do an exotic fruit tasting instead. Since Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production, as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory the exotic fruit tasting is also an interesting activity. This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of them. In this short stop we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.

Second Stop: Climbing Up The Guatape Rock At this massive rock you get the chance to climb up it. It has 749 steps and takes around 50 minutes to go up and down. Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen. This is not only our opinion but that of hundreds of tourists we have taken there. However, our Guatape and Jet-Ski Ride Tour still has more to offer. Our next destination is Guatape, one of the most colorful and picturesque towns in Colombia.
90 minutes here
Guatape
At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town’s landmarks: church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more. Once the walking tour has concluded we take you to the best restaurant in town to have a traditional delicious lunch (not included in the tour) where you have more than 20 different options to try the local cuisine accompanied by a cold sangria or a craft beer. After we have seen all the beautiful places this town has to offer we get ready to sail. The Jet-ski awaits us to start an amazing ride around the lake for around 1 hour.
Pass by without stopping
Guatape
Our Jet-skis are 1000cc meaning that you have a good engine to have a nice experience. The time included in this tour is 45 minutes. Your tour guide will give you all the riding instructions, life vests and insurance registration (included in the tour). You will be riding by yourself however for your own security we ask you to follow all the safety instructions. In case you want to ride with your partner we will not charge you any extra money, however please keep in mind that you can’t switch drivers. Whether you have jet-skis experience or not everyone agrees in that having the huge and beautiful rock of Guatape all the time in your sight makes it a unique ride. You can ride the Jet-Ski anywhere you want as long as you know the way back but bear in mind that in case you crash the jet-ski there is a fine you need to pay starting of 300.000 pesos (around $75USD) to get it fixed, not to mention that you could get hurt and ruin the rest of your trip so please drive it carefully.

Alejandro is the best
Alejandro was our guide and he was top tier! He got in touch with us before the tour to tell us what to expect and what to bring. He was punctual picking us up. He went above and beyond to tell us all sorts of information & history about Colombia and the areas we were in. You can tell that he loves his country and loves teaching people about the culture. The activities were all great as well. We had the best day and that was because of Alejandro. He even gave us great recommendations on what else to do in the city during the rest of our trip. Thank you so much for making our trip amazing. I would do it again in a heartbeat

Must Do!!
A group of 4 of us friends had an amazing time with our tour guide Sara for a day trip to Guatape and did jet skiing as well. Sara was such a delight! We had the perfect day with her. We cannot recommend this trip enough. It was the highlight of our trip and we keep saying it was the best day ever. Must do!

Unforgettable Birthday Experience
If you’re looking for an unforgettable day in Guatapé, book this excursion—you won’t regret it! Laura was, without question, the best tour host I’ve ever had. From the moment the day began, she was incredibly communicative, attentive, and genuinely engaging, making everyone feel welcome and taken care of. The entire experience was seamless, well-organized, and packed with fun from start to finish. The jet ski portion was an absolute highlight, and Laura’s energy and enthusiasm made the day even more memorable. You can tell she truly cares about her guests having an amazing experience. There honestly isn’t a single thing I would change. If you’re considering this tour, stop thinking about it and book it. Thank you, Laura, for creating such an incredible experience and lasting memories!

Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories cost?
+
Prices start at $236 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories 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 Medellín is not rushed.
Is Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories?
+
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 Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories 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 Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories?
+
Around 11 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 Medellín 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 Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guatape & Jet Ski: Unforgettable Fun & Lasting Memories 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 Medellín 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 Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. 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 Medellín?
+
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 Medellín?
+
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.
