4 Island Tour and snorkeling - I had a wonderful time, Jorge was great! He is very knowledgeable and even though my Spanish isn't great, he made sure I understood everything the whole time. The beaches weren't crowded and the snorkeling was awesome!

Jorge at Navy Tours is the best! - As a solo traveler I wanted to explore the Rosario Islands with a group, so I booked my trip with Jessica from Navy Tours at the stand by Plaza Del Pozo. I couldn’t be happier with my decision. With Jorge as our guide, we visited the beautiful islands with gorgeous white sand and had a delicious lunch.
This is a no-frills tour that’s much more fun and had better beach area stops than a fancier tour I took that was recommended by my hotel.
Jorge did a wonderful job to make sure we all felt safe and had a great time! He even took underwater pictures during our snorkeling session with his GoPro which was an added bonus. While on the islands I was a bit apprehensive when local vendors approached us to sell goods, however a simple “no gracias” and they kept on moving.
Between Jessica and Jorge’s great customer service, I’d recommend booking this trip for anyone who’s looking for a fun time at the Rosario Islands.

Boated to the 4 islands! - We boarded the Ahora Si and visited the four islands. I really enjoyed my day. Jorge communicated well in English and Spanish. He was a great and friendly tour guide. I definitely recommend the fish for lunch. I would also recommend the trip and would do it again. Thanks, Jorge!

Nice Tour!!! - The full daytour was great. Our guide Jorge took us to a nice place at the Rosario Islands where it was possible to choose between snorkeling and staying at the beach. We went snorkeling and Jorge showed us some nice spots. After that we went to Colon and Playa Azul. At the end of the tour we had local food at Playa Blanca.
I can really recommend that tour for those, who are planing to visit more than on island in one day!

Great experience! Sergio is super guide - Very nice day to Rosario islands. Programme was as described and food delicious. Sergio was speaking perfect english and explained a lot about all stops. Also crew was great and speed boat was great. The hight light was snorkelling and a coctail of seafood on the beach. Thank you Sergio for great memories and for sharing the pictures of me and snorkelling! Keep great job!

Could be a fantastic tour if some things are fixed - Late pick up, plenty traffic due to Bakurta market which shortened our stay at Playa Blanca that was disappointing. The food was salty. However there were a few staff who made sure we were taken care of. Be aware of stopping at Cholon where they try to rip you off if you have no COP. They hike up the prices for a simple lolly!!! Otherwise we made the most of the experience. Would have liked to have more time at the Aquarium to swim with the dolphins also.

Great Day visiting the Four spectacular Islands - We did a boat/beach tour of the Rosario Islands with our tour guide Jorge. The Rosario Islands are 27-28 islands (some big, some small, some privately owned, 4 owned by the government)
We took a speedboat from Baru to Isla Grande, where we SNORKELED for about 45 minutes.
Then took boat to CHOLON, which is known as a party island (good music; can eat foot on tables in the water). Then took boat to Playa Azul, more of a family-oriented quieter beach.
Then took boat back to Baru and has a nice fried fish (with rice) lunch on the beach. Our tour guide Jorge was very jovial and engaging. Very much enjoyed this outing, it was great!
SIDE NOTE: Have never had this much fish/rice in one week.. lol

Quiet beach tour and plankton view - It was a pleasant tour, the Beach was safe and beautiful, the walk to see the bioluminescence of the phyto plankton was a highly recommended experience.
The tour manager jorge was nice and worried
If you can make this tour do it is unique 😊

Great but... - Could be amazing if the communication was better. A good morning and what to expect at pick up would have been nice. After checkin, it was caotic... so many different guides calling their group. When we were shuttled to the bus, a hello the ride to baru is about 45min would have been nice too. When we were waiting on the humid beach for the boat to be ready..being told would have been nice. As non spanish speaking customers, all communication wasnt always said in spanish AND english so at times we felt very lost. If we were not proactive in asking questions im sure we would have gotten lost at times, especially on the way back to cartegena where we never saw our initial guide after he said it was time to go on the beach... we just happen to follow the other guide/ group to the buses and were told just get on that bus to centro. The excursion itself is what you make it. The guides seemed like they knew what their job was but should be told to tell the guests whats happening and dont just leave us alone. In the end better communication would have gone a long way.
TIP: Be sure to bring water and a snack as lunch isnt until the last stop.
