The Best Island Tours from Cartagena in 2026

We compare the best island tours from Cartagena: 3, 4, and 5 islands, VIP and premium options, and which to choose for your trip.

Choosing among Cartagena's many island tours can be overwhelming. Here we help you decide based on what you want: price, exclusivity, or number of islands.

If it's your first time, a 4 or 5-island tour is the best introduction: you'll see several beaches, crystal-clear water, and lunch is included. The private 3-island routes are ideal for groups seeking fewer people and a more relaxed pace.

For an upgraded experience, the VIP and premium options add lunch on a private island, open bar, and more exclusive stops. And if you love adventure, you can add snorkeling, the Oceanarium, or the bioluminescent plankton outing.

Most tours leave in the morning and return in the afternoon. Book online in advance, especially between December and January and during Easter week, when demand is highest.
