    i had done a similar tour 12 years ago, but was with a friend so used backpackers. The tour was relatively organized and was great to get out on the water. Franklin, our guide was engaging and gave us all the information we needed. Coming back was surreal, felt we were in a speed boat race. I would say and listen I am a visitor so part of the problem, Playa Blanca has lost some of it's charm with over development,

    This was an excellent way to spend an afternoon. It takes about 90 minutes of rough road to get to Palenque, but it’s worth it. Romeo and his partners were informative, attentive, and personable. The history of the community is inspiring. The dancing was high energy! We also did some boxing! The community has various beautiful murals. And the fried fish for lunch was great! Highly recommend.

    When visiting Cartegena, especially the walled city one of the experiences you will want to have is a sunset cruise. Given the geographic location of the city there is always an opportunity for a spectacular sunset. This can be seen from many locations on the northern city wall. Many however look to take it up a notch by experiencing a sunset cruise.

    Here are a couple of suggestions that might help you maximize your experience.
    First of all the sunset cruises are not really "cruises" at all. I just about all cruise options the boats of various shapes and sizes cruise out of the inner harbour to a second bay, drop anchor and watch the sunset, then cruise back. Not much of a cruise but it is a worthwhile adventure when visiting Cartegena. You will find vendors all over the city offering these cruises. My suggestion is not to buy from one.

    The cruises leave every night about 5:00pm from the dock just south of the clock tower gate. If you plan on going scout out this location prior to your cruise and check the boats, the price, and the beverage package.

    Generally cruises run 100,000 to 200,000 pesos per person. For this price you will get the cruise about 90 minutes to 2 hours plus a beverage package. Some offer a single drink, some offer an open bar, some boats are large some are small. They seem to go out 95%-100% capacity. There is not much chance to luck out and get an empty boat. By doing our homework we got a cruise on a smaller boat 100% capacity, with unlimited rum drinks. It certainly wasn't fancy but it was fun. For this we paid 90,000 pesos per person.

    Vendors will accept credit cards but you will pay an additional charge for the use of a credit card so pay with cash and save an extra 10,000 pesos per person.

    Just about all boats require bare feet so it is an idea to wear flip flops to make the trip easier. Do your research prior to your trip and you can select the boat of your choice, with the beverage package of your preference and the price point of your choosing.

    The loading process takes about half an hour and the dock is a mad house of activity as the boats load. It is an entertaining process all on its own.

    A little homework and pre planning will help you maximize your experience and minimize your cost.

    Let me just say this trip was AMAZING. I was HUNTING for a trip that wasn’t a party boat or a scam, to have a day actually exploring the area…. And this is it!! The guide (Edward) spoke great English, was fun, friendly, and made sure we were more than taken care of at every step of the way. Edward went above and beyond even helping with questions and concerns not related to the tour. We got to go to two snorkel locations and 2 islands. One was for snacks/ drinks and the second was for lunch. Both places were safe and weren’t crowded. Each had plenty of lounge chairs and areas to be in the water. The food was locally made and amazing. The boat drivers were great at navigating through the afternoon chop. The boat maxes out at 16 people so it isn’t overfilled like the others. It was all day in the sun and the water and I couldn’t be happier compared to the other options I saw.

    Such a great time! Andrea was super friendly, professional and made sure everyone was having a great time. Food was good and the captain did a great job safely navigating the boat in rough waters home. Perfect way to get in a day of sunshine and meeting people as a solo traveler.

    We had a great time. Our tour guides were very supportive and kind. My mom was overheated and they took really great glare of her.
    Very dusty being googles and face mask! You will be dirty but good dirt cause you’re having a blast!
    Will be doing again when we return.

    Communication with the tour guide was seamless. The bus ride was very relaxing, featuring air conditioning, comfortable reclining seats, and curtains to block out the sun. The mud experience was enjoyable, but note that this is not a place to linger or hang out. You’ll need to wait in line as the mud area doesn’t have enough space for everyone at once. However, the lagoon where you wash off the mud is not clean and honestly looks unpleasant. Providing showers to rinse off the mud would be a much better option. Aside from that, everything else was amazing.

    Dona and the chef(sorry, we didn’t catch her name) were great fun and very instructive.
    We had a great time and the end result of coconut rice, mojarra, empanadas and patacones was delicious.
    It was great to be in a group of 3 other couples experiencing the event.

    Took a sunset trip on La Fantastica in Cartagena. Excellent trip. Captain Xavier is so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable straight away. The rest is the crew are top class also. Ensuring your drink is full is you want. Happy to take pictures giving you those memorable moments captured. Trip is around 1 hour and 45 minutes and includes a cannon show and picture costumes if you want.
