Top 5 Full-Day Tours in Santa Marta

1.Full-Day Hiking Tour in Minca with coffee & Cocoa Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 189 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $55Our pick

A 7.5-hour Minca jungle hike with coffee tasting, Lost Waterfall time, lunch at Jungle Joe, and a hands-on cocoa workshop.

“This is a good way to see the eco friendly town of Minca. The waterfall and chocolate factory at Jungle Joe's were really something special. This may have been the best chocolate I've ever had.Lunch was also surprisingly good. Unfortunately the coffee plantation was a let down, with average coffee and prices roughly 2x what you'll see anywhere else. Even considering the artisanal, organic practices, there is no reason to charge that much for thoroughly average coffee. The guide was also pretty good and knowledgeable. I'd recommend if you're looking to explore the city”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 5 reviews · from $34Best value

Boat day trip from Santa Marta to Playa Blanca or Playa Inca Inca with lunch, swim and snorkel time in the Caribbean.

“Have booked three excursions on Viator for Santa Marta, Colombia. Have taken two of the three tours. First two tours were disorganized on meeting location - not clear at all. Hoping the third is better. Playa Blanca was beautiful. The lunch was delicious. Boat ride to the beach provided magnificent views of the Sierra Madre.”
