4 Rosario Islands tour by boat

What's included

• Pickup from 7:30 to 8 a.m. at one of six hotel-area meeting points and transfer to Marina Rosales
• Boat to and from the Rosario Islands
• Pier departure fee included
• Traditional lunch at Isla Coco Loco or Playa Tranquila, depending on the day's route
• Small shrimp cocktail in Cholón
• Chairs and shaded cabanas at the beach club
• Snorkelling at Isla Coco Loco and the submerged mansion, unless you choose the Oceanario instead

Not included

• Onward transport from Marina Rosales to your hotel (morning pickup is included; the hotel return is at your own expense)
• Door-to-door pickup: the meeting point is on your area's main avenue
• Extra purchases in Cholón and on the islands
• Chairs and shade in Cholón (these are included at the Barú beach club)
• Photos and other optional services offered on the beaches
• Optional Oceanario admission: COP 40,000 per adult and COP 30,000 per child aged 2–10, at 2026 rates. Pay at the island ticket office. This visit replaces snorkelling; Cholón remains included.

What's great

• You see several points of the bay and the archipelago in one day, with a private island to snorkel and rest about an hour
• Hotel-area meeting-point pickup, transfer to the pier, lunch and the pier fee included
• Ideal plan to know the archipelago without having to choose a single island; if you prefer, we also have a version that closes with the bright plankton

What to know

• It's a day of several stops, so each one is relatively short; if you're looking to stay on one beach for hours, this is not the plan.
• Cholón has loud music and crowds, especially on weekends and in high season
• On the islands there are sellers who offer food, chairs and photos apart; agree the price before accepting and carry cash
• Onward transport from Marina Rosales in El Bosque to your hotel is at your own expense
• Pickup is at a fixed point on your area's main avenue, not at each hotel door

Restrictions

• Bring cash in small notes for island purchases; card payments often carry a surcharge.
• Bring sunscreen, a hat, a towel and a change of clothes; shade is limited at the stops.
• Agree on prices before accepting food, drinks, chairs or services in Cholón and on the beaches.
• Tell the guide at the start of the tour if you want to visit the Oceanario on Isla San Martín de Pajarales. Admission is paid at its ticket office: COP 40,000 per adult and COP 30,000 per child aged 2–10 at 2026 rates; children under 2 enter free. This visit replaces snorkelling; the Cholón stop remains.
• We hold an active SURA insurance policy for this activity.
