        Day trip to rosaria day trip from Cartagena
        We booked it quite late so we were accommodated very well . We were picked up from our apt , that was the positive bit . The guide was welcoming initially but very little information in English , big explanations in Spanish and few words in English , we had to ask all the time . Because we were late booking we didn’t know the exact plan for the day but no structure was explained . Time keeping was never adhered to , I had asked what time we would get home to our apartment, I was told 5 pm but it was 630 . Overall the islands were beautiful, snorkelling disappointing , food was good but desperately over cooked and definitely had been cooked earlier . I wouldn’t recommend the trip we took .

        False advertising, no Pink Sea tour included!!
        I booked this tour excited to see the Pink Sea. It also included the mud bath. Well, we got the mud bath, and then a couple hours for lunch and a swim at the Cocoa Beach hotel in Playa Boquilla. We didn't go near Salinas of Galerazamba. We were to go there to see the Pink Sea. We knew that we could not go in to swim, but we're to be able to view it. When I questioned the tour guides, they said they hadn't done that part of the tour in 3 years!! I am extremely disappointed, as this was the only reason we booked this tour!!! To be fair, the mud bath was fun, but not the reason we booked. Alot of money was spent to be cheated out of the experience we expected!! I don't know why Trip Advisor would advertise this as a Pink Sea tour, when it's not even included. I would request a partial refund for the false advertising, but there's no option for that!

        Fabulous experience
        Amazing experience. Yuliana took excellent care of us. Picked us up at our apartment building and we were together with another family. Pink sand tour and museum was great. Star of the show was the mud volcano. We had our own changing rooms and showers plus someone to take our shoes and phones when we went in. We also had a great guy who took loads of amazing photos. After carefully climbing down the volcano steps we made our way to the lagoon where ladies will take you and give you a thorough cleaning. Of course you have to tip everyone but for that experience it’s absolutely worth it. Plus the lunch after was delicious.

        Girls trip with horses
        This was a fun and relaxing excursion with my 2 daughters. The host spoke limited English and our guide didn’t speak any, but with google translate we made it work and had a wonderful time! The host explained that with booking our tour with them we were supporting 5 family’s, which warmed my heart. Our guide had 5 sons and 2 of them came with us to help with the horses. They were so friendly and attentive. The horses were amazing! They were calm and such a joy to be with. We got a little bit of history about the area Playa Azul La Boquilla before we rode too. This is a private tour and more than worth the price. When we come back to Cartagena we will definitely booking this excursion again!!

        Not as advertised but ok for price
        Interesting experience that was not exactly as advertised. We had a really really hard time getting confirmation and a response for pickup from hotel. So bad that I had to contact Viator for help. We got confirmation we were being picked up at 6:30 on the day of the tour for 7:40 departure. The pickup from the hotel was actually a guy on toot who walked us to another meeting point, then we walked again for another 15 or so minutes before getting in a small bus that drove us over 2 hours to the south end of baru. The tour guide mostly spoke to Spanish and translated to English a couple times for us but a lot of the time we didn't know what was going on. The boat was a little 20 seater max canoe and it was full. We then had a 40 min boat ride to Rosario island where we got to go 'snorkelling' except they had no snorkels, only masks. So not snorkeling just holding your breath looking under water. The second location was a party island where you stood in the water for 40 mins drinking a beer. Then the 3rd stop was a nice little beach where we sat and swam. The fourth stop was for lunch which was ok and then after that we got the 1 hour bus ride back. They did not do hotel drop off they just drop you nearby the old town and you have to walk from there. There was also no bottled water as advertised. It was ok for the price but I would recommend a better tour than this.

        It was a very different experience. Had a blast and the lunch was AMAZING!!! Highly recommend while in Cartagena. They get you there nice and early so you have time to really enjoy it before the bus loads start rolling in.

        10/10 Recommended
        I chose this tour because it was not a full day tour, there are many options to choose from. I enjoyed the trip. It was relaxing and something different. I spent about 10 minutes in mud. I did not accept a massage, simply say "no gracias" if you do not want one. Same applies to the wash off at the lake. Angel, the tour guide did a good job. The tour included a snack and drink. My only issue is with the service providers at the location. They need a more efficient way of keeping track of who does what for whom. They came to the bus and ask generally for $ instead of asking the specific persons they did services for. If you visit Cartagena, do it! 10/10 Recommended.

        2 down but 1 strong!
        We booked for 3 but only 1 could go due to upset stomachs. Lol. But the 1 who went had the best time!! She can't wait to do it again. Said everyone was nice and it was good to get away from some of the hustle and bustle of Cartagena.

        They didn’t wait for us to get to the dock because there was traffic. They left exactly at 5:00pm and didn’t give us a refund!

        Probablemente not worth the cost
        What disappointed me so much was the lack of wildlife. No animals. No birds. However, we did have a lovely horse ride to the beach and back, and had a delicious lunch. Plus there were some butterflies which I would like to have known more about but there was no information. The queues were awful.

        Yuk! Scam!!
        1. Our ticket included hotel pickup, but we ended up paying $80 roundtrip for a taxi to take ourselves to the pickup point. (We weren't notified of the fact we weren't being picked up until after my credit card was charged for the trip.) 2. After we were picked up from the central meeting point, We drove around for 2 more hours picking everyone else up from their hotels. 3. Our ticket included lunch, our guide asked if we preferred chicken or fish and lunch was NEVER provided. We didn't eat breakfast nor lunch and No Information was ever provided about why we hadn't eaten during the tour. 4. According to our guide, The pink sea is only pink in April. Don't waste your time and go there any other time unless you want to see a salt refinery and the same exact ocean that is in Cartagena. 5. The mud volcano was unique, but there were some suspicious activities that took place in and around the landmark. The employees on top of the volcano strip you of your shoes and your phones. PS: (You will not have access to your phones until after the entire experience when the man who collects the phones at the top of the volcano comes down the volcano and returns everyone's phones to them, FOR A TIP!) When you enter the mud, the "masseuse's" attempt to force massages onto you, they grope men and women without consent, and if you decline they still attempt to rub your body until you make it clear that you have declined. It was almost as if they didn't understand the word "No". Additionally, other tourists that are in the bath before you, take their leisurely time massaging each other, sitting in corners and taking up space. Once you exit the bath, you walk down the gravel path without shoes to a small lake where a lady will be waiting to offer you a "full body rinse", where womens tops are attempted to be taken off and their private parts are carresed consensual or not. The locals and the tour guide force you to tip them for services that you declined. We witnessed people on our tour being surrounded and harrased about the tips for the services they didn't offer. IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MUD VOLCANO, CHOOSE A DIFFERENT COMPANY!

        Excellent experience
        The view was very nice. We did not get to see the pink sea as it had rained. We had fun and a great massage. Lunch was good. I would do it again except for the amount of individuals you have to tip.

        If u can go just to the mud volcano, then yes, it's an interesting expwrience
        Meh, the only somewhat interesting thing was the mud bath. In the mud bath, you are massaged, and they name themselves. After you are walked to the water and washed, again they name themselves, then you should tip each and every. It is very confusing.

        Ask for Manuel!
        This was the first tour we took a day after arriving in Cartagena and we met our tour guide Manuel right by the clock tower. Our tour ended up being private which was an added bonus and Manuel was the best guide. He took all the time needed at each spot, got us water and offered to take pictures along the way which all came out great! The pace and long of the tour was just perfect and we got to see a lot of Cartagena and learn along the way. We highly recommend this tour to get oriented with the place and definitely ask for Manuel when confirming your your details!

      Well done super clean really nice way to spend a few hours. Practically walking distance from the crazy crowds at play Blanca beach. The grounds are spotless. The bird show was fair. Only draw back is that it is mostly four tourists and with Covid they are so slow that there are zero concessions so bro h your own food and drinks

      I booked a tour to the National Aviary Cartagena de Indias via TripAdvisor/Viator. I received my confirmed tickets, reached out to the tour operator twice, and never heard back from them. I had to go through Viator customer service to reach them finally, and they decided to reschedule my tour the morning-of. Unsurprisingly, they missed their rescheduled time and attempted to reschedule my twice-confirmed tour a second time. Completely unacceptable. They are the definition of unprofessional and do not deserve a single dollar of your hard-earned money. Find a different tour company and save yourself the trouble.

      *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
