Overview

Choose your perfect island adventure. Our full-day SNORKEL TOUR (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM) offers sightseeing at Bocachica Fort and Pablo Escobar’s estate, followed by three 1.5 hour stops at Marina Island, Grande Island (for snorkeling and lunch), and Islabela Island; select the LEISURE TOUR option to opt-out of snorkeling. For a more lively experience, the full-day PARTY TOUR (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM) includes the same sightseeing stops but features 1.5 hour stops at Baru Island, Grande Island (for lunch), and Cholon Island. (Please note: Cholon is famously loud, crowded, and overpriced; select this tour carefully.) Finally, our VIP TOUR (10:30 AM – 4:00 PM) via comfort speedboat features three unique sightseeing stops (San Felipe Fort, Bocachica Fort, & Pirate Island) and two extended stops at a private island resort for lunch (1.5 hrs) and the award-winning Eteka Island retreat (2 hrs).

Activity itinerary

Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica (Pass by)
All 4 tours (VIP, SNORKEL, LEISURE, & PARTY) will have a sightseeing stop at this fort on Tierra Bomba to take pictures and learn about its historical significance.
Isla Baru
  • 2h
The Party tour will have their first stop at a beach club in Baru Island. Baru is excluded from the other tours due to its crowded, vendor-heavy environment, which isn’t ideal for a relaxed or family-friendly experience.
Isla Marina
  • 2h
The Snorkel & Leisure tours will have their first stop at an island with vast access to the clear waters and beach beds for lounging. The VIP tour will also make their first stop at the award winning Eteka beach club after completing their remaining sightseeing stops in San Felipe fort and Pirate island. Upon arrival at Eteka, you be greeted with a cocktail and enjoy full access to all amenities.
Isla Marina (Pass by)
Snorkel, Leisure, & Party tours will then enjoy a sightseeing stop past Pablo Escobar’s former island mansion, adding a unique visual highlight of the Rosario Islands. The VIP tour is unable to reach this point due to time and distance constraints.
Isla Grande
  • 2h
All tours will then head to a separate island for lunch and relaxation. VIP guests will have exclusive access to a private island resort separately on another point of the island. Guests can unwind on beach beds under parasols, swim, or enjoy the scenery. Lunch is included, with on-site fish, chicken, or vegetarian options. Before the meal, the Snorkel Tour will enjoy an exclusive 30-45 minute snorkeling experience at a nearby fish habitat.
Islas de Rosario
  • 2h
Snorkel & Leisure tours will end at Islabela Beach Club, with beach chairs, parasols, and optional dance classes for a cultural touch. The Party tour concludes at Cholon Island, known for its lively floating party, though crowded, loud, and unmaintained so be sure to choose carefully. Guests on the VIP tour will have concluded their excursion having enjoyed a more comfortable day with extended time at exclusive destinations, personalized attention in a small-group setting, and travel on a premium speedboat. All tours return to the same port we departed from, close to the initial meeting point.
