The trip is nice for the boat ride but it doesn’t stop anywhere. Just basically open sea

The only thing that really upset me was that they advertise snorkeling but did not anchored any where close to riffs Also my husband asked one of the crew members for some soap to clean a mask and he was very quick to answer no. I feel he could have been a lot more helpful

3 stops not 5
Tatiana_C

Nice boat, the crew was really nice and the food served was good. They served a small breakfast, lunch, juice and sodas. The booking states 5 stops but we only stopped at 3 and did not get to go on any if the islands just snorkeled/ swim in the water near the island. The island were to far to swim to. I feel like that is a bit misleading on their description.

Dear Passenger, Thank you for your feedback. In our description we never mentioned 5 stops, actually we only offer two stop and there is no disembarkation provided as you could see in our dashboard on Tripadvisor. I am wondering if you maybe confused Bona Vida with another boat, as we are not serving any kind of breakfast ( you have mentioned that on the review ). Best regards, Bona Vida Crew

70th Birthday Sailing

Although it was quite crowded and passengers were like hungry lions cutting in front of you, it was a very pleasant day. It made two stops and the provided lunch was much more than enough. Alcoholic drinks are extra, just avoid the horrible cold red wine...water is a better choice! Very friendly and capable crew. Be sure to put something in the tip jar so they'll ring the bell!

A really nice boat.
Wickie
, Feb 2020
My wife and I went on the tour. It is definitely worth doing. Most of the time is on the boat. The first stop was for snorkeling which we passed on. I did swim and can say the water was beautiful. The second stop was off an island where they ferried you to shore. Nice, but nothing special. One thing I can tell you is the boat is nice, and very large. It’s stable and you don’t feel crowded. You can find a lower price to the islands on the small boats, but don’t do it. You get what you pay for. Also the crew is very nice and works really hard. If you are going to the Rosario islands, this is the boat to take.

Touristy but very professional and generous
Becca P
, Jan 2020
The staff and locations were fantastic! Enjoyed the food and information provided. The boat was very well kept and clean. Most of our fellow passengers were interested in getting Instagram pictures than socializing or exploring - something to keep in mind as you make your decision. There were maybe 40 passengers total and we motored 95% of the time.

Catamaran trip
rolfmarthalemm
, Jan 2020
Beautiful Catamaran. Very spacious and comfortable. Great place to relax on the net up in front. It was very important for me to snorkel. The water is crystal clear but the gear only included mask, they do not have flippers which is very important to snorkel. Hopefully they will add them in the future. Food was great and very helpful crew.

Fantastic boat trip - highly recommend
ARVCART
, Nov 2019
Absolutely fantastic trip - highly recommend. I have been on several other trips here to the Rosario Islands in Cartagena - this is by far our favorite boat trip yet. The Catamaran it is very spacious and extremely clean and easy to move around. The bathrooms are extremely clean and the service from the cruise was outstanding. You never know what kind of food you’re going to get when it is made for a large number of people - but everyone in our group said that the food was absolutely delicious. (They gave you two options of vegetable fried rice or fried rice with seafood). I Highly recommends the Bona Vida to everyone and we will be taking visitors back out on this Catamaran for sure in the future.
