Good to know
- Not recommended for older adults.
- Cholón Island: While incredibly fun, Cholón is a lively "party island" where alcohol consumption is common. It's not suitable for everyone. Your safety regarding any activities undertaken while under the influence of alcohol is your personal responsibility; we are not liable for incidents occurring due to intoxication. Please choose this option wisely based on your preferences.
- Personal Belongings: Always keep your valuables with you. We are not responsible for any items lost or left behind on the boat.
- Additional Fees: Any entrance fees to additional attractions or extra services you choose are not included in your tour price and are your responsibility to pay directly.
- Snorkeling Safety: Our snorkeling activity takes place in deeper waters, not directly from the beach. For your comfort and safety, we highly recommend wearing water shoes and using the provided life vests.
- Personal Insurance: While our tour includes basic coverage for minor accidents up to certain limits, it's essential that all travelers have their own comprehensive personal insurance to cover any unforeseen circumstances.
- Weather & Safety Policy: In the event that the Port Authority (Capitanía de Puerto) issues a yellow flag or maritime restrictions for the Playa Blanca area, your safety remains our priority. We will still fulfill our 5-spot island itinerary by rerouting to Marine Beach by Tequendama on Tierra Bomba Island. This exclusive beach club offers expansive shorelines, pool access, sun loungers, and a premium lounge area to ensure your experience remains uninterrupted.

No doubt the best walk
Amazing! Sensational boat, team ready! Compared to the others we saw without a doubt the best! We stayed almost 2 hours longer than the combined tour, asked at all times what we wanted to do! They gave water, rum shots! All sensational
