US$96
 
 

Enjoy the natural landscape on this day trip excursion to Isla del Encanto. The tour begins with the van picking you up in the lobby of your accommodation. Next, you will arrive at the Muelle de la Bodeguita and take a speedboat for a 50-minute ride to the south side of the Island of Baru, which is part of Corales del Rosario National Park.

When you arrive at the park, start by choosing the best spot on the beach and swimming in the crystal-clear waters, or you can spend the morning relaxing by the pool, which is surrounded by leafy trees. If you are restless and curious, you can use the kayaks that are available and explore the surroundings of the Corales del Rosario National Park.

Take advantage of the optional activities available during this tour to Isla del Encanto: go snorkeling or scuba diving with the coral reef fish that live there. If you don’t want to swim, you have the option of exploring the sea life by visiting the aquarium on the island of San Martin de Pajarales. Or you can just relax on the beach and enjoy a cocktail. However, the island staff is its biggest benefit. They will help you make the most of your time in this impressive natural park.

By this time you will probably be getting hungry, which is good, as one of the advantages of the island is the variety of food on their menu and their vegetarian options for lunch, which is accompanied by drinks and a dessert. Isla del Encanto is one of the most sought-after places for the visitors that look for a tour to Islas del Rosario from Cartagena, as it has a 170-people capacity in low season. Their spacious facilities and more than 200mts of beach is another advantage, since there is enough space to find some privacy. The crystal-clear water during the dry season makes for the perfect spot to take off your shoes and walk along the beach. Relax in this natural environment before returning to Cartagena at around 3:00 p.m
