“The activity was great! The drinks were good and the entertainment was nice. The directions were helpful, especially getting there early enough to pay the port taxes. The only issue was being able to find the boat we were going to be on which could be communicated better. I would like to at least know the name of the vessel prior to arriving! The staff around the dock were pretty helpful in locating the ship after asking around.”
2-hour Cartagena sunset cruise with open bar on a speedboat or catamaran. Pick the right ticket, find the dock fast, enjoy the skyline.

A full day sailing Cartagena Bay to Rosario Islands for lunch, snorkeling, and a plankton light show, with pickup from Bocagrande or El Laguito.
“A little confusing with the added plankton activity; I should’ve known better that the bus would make me arrive late back to Cartagena for my flight. I would’ve liked a little more explanation in English but the guide mostly spoke Spanish once the rest of the English speakers left”
Cartagena Bay open-bar sunset party boat with English support, big views, dancing, and a lively host team. About 2.5 hours, from $30.
“This sunset cruise was amazing. The host alex was very responsive with additional information with the exact location and boat (several boats and gates at the dock) he even sent a picture of himself of whatsapp so you know who you're meeting at the meeting point. He is very fluent in English, gets everyone engage and loosed up with other patrons. By the time we left the docks the party was started. Excellent experience especially for the price. Be aware of hustlers on the docks trying to sell beverages, saying its not included on the cruise to make a sale. Especially since it is hot before you get moving. Buy…”

Cartagena pub crawl for $23 with salsa class, drinking games, and club entry, visiting Getsemaní nightlife spots over about 7 hours.
“DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. The pub crawl did not meet any expectations, nor did it provide what we paid for and was advertised. First, we met at the hostel where everyone was charged half the price we paid. We understand we booked through a third party website, as to why it would be more expensive, but the tour still did not go to plan. We did not visit any of the bars / clubs that were listed on the itinerary, and some of those places listed where the reason why we booked this bar crawl to begin with. We did not receive any cocktails, which was also listed on…”
