We switched from a catamaran with 80 people to one that was supposed to have 40 but ended up having less than 20 people on it! We also got an extra hour to spend on the island and I would totally do it again!”

“This Culebra boat and snorkeling tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The crew kept all of our personal belongings safe on the boat while we snorkeled and swam, so we never had to worry about a thing. We started with about an hour of snorkeling at a gorgeous reef, where the water was crystal clear and full of colorful fish and coral. Then the boat moved closer to shore for the beach portion. You do need to swim to get to the beach, but it’s a short, calm swim—and they provide flotation devices for anyone who’s not a confident swimmer. One of my favorite parts? The crew actually…”

7.Cartagena: Rosario Islands Catamaran with Lunch and Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,479 reviews · 7h 30m · from $107

You get a fresh-fruit welcome drink, a snack, two water stops, snorkel gear, lunch, and unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. Expect swimming from the boat rather than a guaranteed island visit, plus music on the return.

“Very well run. The team on the boat are friendly and work hard. The boat is really comfortable. The toilets are well maintained which is always a good sign. Nice and laid back. 2 swimming spots are fine but please bear in mind that you don’t visit the islands or any beaches. Food was really nice. I really like that they had nice drinks (try the lemonade) even though these are free. A lot of tours will give you lower quality free drinks in the hope that you will buy the drinks that aren’t free. Overall I would recommend the tour.”
