Cartagena day trip to Playa Morena Beach Club with a guided walk in Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica and typical island lunch.
“Nice boat for a smooth ride out to the island of Boca Chica. Our English speaking guide did a good job explaining the fort and guiding us around. After the 1/2 hour walking tour we were directed to the beach club. It was pleasant there, with comfortable seating and a bar. The water didn't really appeal to us so we spent time relaxing. For us, there was too much time there (about 5 hours!) so unless you are prepared for that or like to drink this might not be for you. You can walk around the island to see the people and the village there but a guide is recommended…”
