About this tour
Spend the day at Hotel Isla del Sol, a beach hotel on Isla Grande, in the Rosario Islands National Natural Park, about an hour by boat from Cartagena. You get a boat ride, a welcome cocktail, a typical Caribbean lunch, a pool filled with filtered seawater, sunbeds on the sand and calm turquoise water at your door.
This is one product with several ways to enjoy it: the regular day pass, the open bar pass (drinks from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm), group rates for more than 15 guests, and an exclusive day pass for groups of 70 to 100. Pick yours below and we confirm availability for your date.
If you want more, book optional activities at the hotel when you arrive: snorkeling, a mangrove tour run by the local community, the aquarium or the spa. And if one day is not enough, you can stay overnight in one of the hotel’s bungalows.
