Amazing trip to tayrona national park - This was an amazing trip and a must do if you are ever visiting Colombia. We had a fantastic experience in the park from seeing monkeys to capybaras. We had a fantastic tour guide Hugo and driver arnel. The tour guide explained all of the history while allowing us to enjoy the park and see the animals. He also provided a delicious lunch that I will be dreaming about when I am gone. Overall, I will be recommending this tour (specifically to ask for Hugo for your tour) to all of my friends and family visiting Colombia.

Incredible Day! - We had an incredible time on our Tayrona Park Hike. Hugo was a fantastic guide! We really enjoyed learning about the park, its history, the animals, the vegetation, and the indigenous tribes. Our favorite day in Colombia so far. Highly recommend!

Best driver and guide! - We had an extraordinary experience. Our driver, Hader, was extremely competent because there was a big accident on the road and he was able to find detours to avoid huge traffic. He was also very friendly. Also, we had Eric, the best guide we met in all our travels around the world (I’m not exaggerating). If you are passionate about wildlife, it is the best choice for you. He must also be an excellent co-worker because he makes sure to translate to his colleagues to involve them in the conversion. He values them too. We will miss the Bukap team! Nadia and Gabriel from Quebec (Canada) 😘

He is kind, passionate, and funny - we couldn’t have been more pleased about our trip. Jesus our driver was also an amazing companion to have, he was patient and got us safely everywhere. We are so happy we did the tour with them today 🥰

Amazing experience from beginning to end - We could not have asked for a better day. We are a family of 4 adult children with our spouses and our 86 year old father. A comfortable van stocked with water showed up exactly on time. Eric and David, our two guides, were perfect. Eric is a passionate and expert naturalist and historian and was able to give this very curious group fascinating information about the Indigenous peoples, plants, birds and animals on our hike into the jungle to an archeological village. He knew everything! David was so kind with my father, helping him with a few tricky areas on the path. After the hike and tour of the village, we went on a one hour tubing excursion down river to where it meets the sea. On the way we saw ospreys, fish eagles, howler monkeys and other wonderful creatures. Eric had bags of oranges and other local fruit to share with us and we spent about 20 minutes on a lovely beach. Then we went back upriver by boat to a tiny restaurant in the jungle. Fresh fried snapper for lunch for $10 per person!

Tailored trips and travel in and around Tayrona - We used Bukap for 3 trips in Colombia. Private transfer from Cartagena to Tayrona National Park, day in the park with a guide and a transfer from Tayrona to Santa Marta airport. Communication and booking was easy and they were able to tailor the trips to what we needed. All 3 trips were excellent, with the highlight being the guided day tour of the park. Would definitely book through them again. Many thanks!

Great experience - It was great, we went to Tayrona and we were treated great. Guides Juan, Pilar and Luis dedicated themselves fully to show us the park and organize the excursion. Recommended 100%. Then I used the Bukap service to get from Santa Marta to Cartagena, and they also made it perfect. They are a Pro and modern company. Relief that can be paid in advance and with a suit, something that in Colombia is not yet as usual.

Private tour of the Tayrona Park - The private tour to the Tayrona Park was the best decision. Juan Polo was our tour guide and we were lucky to have him. He was funny, he knows a lot of. The history of the park, the nature, plants, animals , the Colombian culture, etc. he kept us going through tbd whole hike. We were able to spend a good amount of time in the main two beaches. The food was really good. Overall had an amazing time and will do it again and again. Our driver Hader was also a really nice person both Juan and Hader carry on with the conversation and we were able to learn things from Santa Marta and its surroundings.
