Timeline: how the party goes

  1. After a seamless hotel pickup in Cartagena, venture to the marina and board your stylish speedboat. Set sail over the shimmering waters toward the Rosario Islands, a stunning archipelago celebrated by both locals and tourists, and declared a protected national park in 1977. The protected waters are home to vibrant tropical fish and stunning coral reefs. Upon arrival at the exclusive Isla del Sol, immerse yourself in the beauty of the Caribbean. Jump into the warm, crystal-clear waters, swim, or simply bask in the sun on the soft sands. Take advantage of the available kayaks, hammocks, and snorkeling options (optional at your own expense). Indulge in a freshly prepared lunch featuring fish caught the same day, before unwinding on the beach or taking a dip in the inviting waters. As the day comes to an end, watch the sun set over the ocean, leaving you with magical memories of your adventure.
