José Saved the Day! Hooray!!
Justin_W
, Jun 2022
Jose our tour guide was amazing! He made the tour comfortable and easy. Give him a raise. The beach was fun. The food was great. My only two pieces of feedback are:
1. Make departure time later than 6:45am. I didn’t get to enjoy breakfast at my hotel before having to leave to walk to the meeting point.
2. If 6:45am is going to remain the departure time maybe consider pushing lunch up from 12pm. I got hungry and angry waiting for food and just went to a different place on the beach to grab something to eat while waiting for food service so I wasn’t hungry when they FINALLY served food. The tour ends at 2pm. Serving lunch at 12 pm is just a bit late.
Mamba Beach Club

Playa Blanco on Isla Barú was beautiful. The hostess at Mamba Beach club, Maria, was amazing she was so sweet. They only downside was all the vendors that are allowed to go in and out which caused a bit of irritation while relaxing. They also took away from Maria’s tips. Vendors should only be allowed every 2 hours to allow visitors to relax more. Other than that it was a great experience and I will be back! Viva Cartagena❣️

The Beach is Everything. Worth the Drive
Leonie_M
, May 2022
I love nature, so driving out of the city of Cartagena to the beach was welcoming. We were given fruits as snack for the 70 minute ride. It went by fast since I wass very curious. We arrive at the parking lot where there were many natives selling different items. We trekked down a little grade to the beautiful blue ocean and white sand (nothing compared to the brown beaches in Bocagrande). Franklin, the tour guide was wonderful, he understood what hospitality means. He guided us in the right direction regarding the natives who sell their wares.
The only complaint I have is there were flies but they kept spraying upin request.
You literally get chairs as advertised. Not beach chairs or lounge chairs. However, you can purchase a cabana for less than $20 is which fits two. I suppose your whole crew could use.
Too much people begging...

Too much people begging and the staff allowed them to annoy the patrons even after numerous no’s. Couldn’t really relax and enjoy myself. And too much rocks in the beach.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
If you like water activities!
Bethsabet_V
, Apr 2022
A must do. We had a great time. The area that was exclusive to our group was more private than other areas which prevents from being hassled by vendors and massage therapist. You will still see some of them around because they have to earn a living but it could be a bit overwhelming. The water was rocky in the area so bring water shoes. But if you like water activities such as jet ski, banana boats and private tours to other island in the area this is the place to be. Clear blue waters. Beautiful. Just make sure to take Colombian pesos to tip. The tour guide and the service was great. Not for our elders. Hard to get into beach area, very rocky and have to go downhill to get in and uphill to come out of the beach area.
The worst trip ever.

Instead of 6am it started at 10:30am. Guid forgot to speak in english so we need to ask for translation . Beach beds were not ready- we need to wait 1 hour. Lockers for bags not awailable. On the way back bus driver stoped sudenly in the middle of nowhere and said he wasn’t paied so he is not going to work anylonger. Higly NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!

sorry....I am not a negative person at all but this tour is a total rip off.

If you like being told to be at a meeting point at 6AM and waiting 1.5 hours for the guide to show up, being packed like a sardine into a tiny minibus with no airconditioning --driven by a chaufer who recklessly almost runs over a guy on a motorcycle--, arriving at a beach littered with massive amounts of trash and garbage, listening to blasted reggatón music, being pestered constantly --literally every five minutes-- by insistent hawkers who want to sell you trinkets, massages, hairbraiding, shells, jewelry, and drugs, and eating greasy undercooked fish for lunch, this tour is perfect for YOU!

Beach was beautiful , vendors aggressive
Marie_G
, Sep 2021
The service was really nice , they picked up us from hotel and The ride was nice. Beach was beautiful and we got there early so the locals did not arrive yet. One reason I took one star , you will be aggressively pressured into buying stuff and services from vendors always coming into the private canbana and they should do more a job to not let them just walk in and wait on the beach
Can't be beat Value

This was probably my best experience during my 5 days in Cartagena. I booked this experience for a Sunday and was kinda spectacle of the 630am pick up time, but glad it was early in the morning because you're basically the first ones on the beach and really get to take it all in before it starts to really get packed. We arrived around 8:30ish, I wasn't picked up until around 7am and we were there until around 3pm. We had around 10 people in our group. The weather was amazing and so was the food, I picked the Chicken option. The welcome drink and fruit was very delicious. Jose our host was great and spoke english which helped me a lot. In regards to beach vendors, I didn't really experience that many since we had a boarder around us and were a little bit further from the beach (cabannas in front of us), but was expecting them to be a lot worse from reading prior reviews, I actually even bought some jewelry from one vender (negotiate lol) . Also in regards to rocks in the water, small areas did have patches of rocks but you could see them since the water is so clear, no need to worry. Enjoy the water as much as possible early on because later on it does get crowded (around 12pm) with a lot of boats and jet skis which were annoying. Also under the "What to Expect" section it say snorkeling equipment but that was not provided, would have been really nice to have that though. I went solo and enjoyed every minute of it, I made friends in my group which also made the experience much more awesome! Overall great value, can't be beat, highly recommend!

Nice beach trip to Playa Blanca
Frank_S
, Aug 2021
Well organised trip, good communication, early departure meant we were able to enjoy the best of the day at Playa Blanca. The guide and personnel at the beach were very friendly, gave good advice, we had a very good day trip. Negative points, outside the control of the tour organisers: annoying beach vendors, don’t take anything of value onto the beach, leave it in the lockers provided. Also there are underwater rocks on the beach, be careful!
Fun in the sun

Beach is beautiful and our guide Melondy can’t be beat! She took excellent care of us! I definitely recommend it and spend th 60 pesos or the cabana!!!!!!!!
Nice trip for the price

Jose was a wonderful guide. The place on the beach was nice and I received a fruit dish to begin and a drink. The sun chairs were nice and their was a shaded area when it got hotter. I traveled by myself and felt completely safe. The restrooms were clean.
Terrible- horrible

This tour was a disgrace and should not be sold. Viator should be embarrassed to off this as a tour. The location was filthy and disgusting and did not resemble anything similar to what was advertised. Totally false advertising.
Beautiful Beach/Excellent Experience!
Banafsheh_K
, Mar 2021
The driver picked us up on-time (6:30 AM-6:45 AM), They were very professional, COVID friendly (everyone wore masks) and we had a great time! I would highly recommend this excursion. The beach was beautiful and we had our own private area to sit (including lounge chairs, bar/restaurant, lockers). It's not fancy, but very clean and does the job. We were only planning on going 1 time during our visit, but now have decided to go every weekend until we leave Colombia. Our guide (I think his name was Jose) was wonderful, gave us great tips in terms of interacting with locals on the beach and constantly checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed. While the drive back was long (a little over an hour), it was 100% worth it.

So I’ll be fair ,, the beach was beautiful and the staff was really amazing so the service and view was well worth what I paid . Now you do have to walk a distance so be prepared . The beach is a coral beach so I highly suggest bring water shoes . A lot of vendors but you get this everywhere in and around cartagina . The food was ok ,,, just a normal beach lunch but again for the price you can’t really complain . Over all great value just be prepared for the items I listed
