“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.”

“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…”
