Best experience ever
I absolutely CANNOT give this business enough stars! My group of 13 & I visted cartagena in early May 2026. I reached out for a boat tour but received so much more! The communication was prompt & very efficient. Will the owner not only set us up with the best boat company, best transportation, best recommendations, & local vendors! He was patient kind & even provided my friend with a birthday cake. He made our trip to cartagena one to remember & I would definitely recommend anyone to use this company for any services they offer. And if they don't please still inquire they are the absolute best& will definitely get the job done! I left an item at the hotel & he was so gracious to retrieve it& ship it to me. Will & vip tours have a costumer for life!

Incredible work!
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service and unforgettable experience you provided. I thoroughly enjoyed my tours to Playa Cristal and Bora Bora.

Left with goals unmet!
Place extremely hard to find where to meet. Picture shows and list one name. The name is not even it. Started late due to iron man marathon which we understood. Non impressive places stop for beach. Main event party island we did not go to it due to it being closed. If all this told before hand honestly all 9 of us would have cancelled.
Response from the operator: A thousand apologies to you 🙏🏻 I totally agree with you! That day was completely different from what the logistics and experience normally are. It's an event that changes the entire dynamic in Cartagena. I'm so sorry I wasn't informed about the closure of the party island that day. If you return to Cartagena, do not hesitate to contact us, we will do something special for you.

Amazing Day Exploring Rosario Island, Cholon & Baru!
Amazing day on the water! The sport boat ride to Rosario Island, Cholon, and Baru was so much fun. Lunch on the private island was delicious and relaxing, and each stop had beautiful clear water and great vibes. Highly recommend this trip!

Exceptional service and guaranteed fun
From the very beginning, the service was excellent. I must admit I was an undisciplined client, changing my tours more than once, but the team always treated me with patience, dedication, and professionalism. They managed to adapt to my changes and still gave me the best experience. On top of that, I had so much fun during each tour, which made the whole experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend VIP Tour Cartagena for their outstanding service and customer care.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 49 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 Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island?
+
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 Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island?
+
Around 17 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sport Boat : Rosario Island,lunch on private island 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.
