I was born and raised in Cartagena. About 14 years ago, I became a tour guide after discovering the rich and fascinating history of my town. I felt a strong desire to share the stories of our native people and the historical events that shaped our city. Visitors were eager to learn about the roots and background of Cartagena, and I realized I could be an excellent guide, driven by my passion for history. Learning about Cartagena's past made me fall in love with my hometown all over again, and today, I am proud to have been born in such a remarkable place. I invite you to explore the many wonders of Cartagena, from its history and culture to its arts and folklore. I offer various tour options, including private city tours, walking tours, and museum tours. This is your opportunity to discover the true history of Cartagena.

Island boat trip
Overview of your Cartagena tour
Pick up at the main port/hotel /airport We will pick you up by car. Islas del Rosario, located just 15 miles (about a one-hour ride) from Cartagena, are the most beautiful islands near the city. This stunning archipelago is one of Colombia's 46 national parks. Here, you can witness the most beautiful reefs and corals, preserved by the native people dedicated to protecting this unique ecosystem. Our tour will start in the morning and last until sunset. We will stop at various islands for swimming. If you wish to dive, you can bring your equipment to enjoy the breathtaking experience of watching the colorful fish. The sea around the islands displays three different colors, changing throughout the day.

We recommend Wilson with the highest review. He created a wonderful day for us. From the time he picked us up at our hotel, how he monitored the weather and then made sure we had a fantastic experience. It was a relaxing day seeing beautiful islands and enjoying history and natural beauty. Wilson made us feel safe and took great care.

The tour with Wilson was an awesome experience. If you want to see what everyone else sees book a trip with your cruise ship. If you want to experience and see the sights that only people in the area know then book this outing. He took us to the first and only bar in the middle of the ocean on a reef! Had some of the best authentic drinks I've ever tasted. He followed that up with a great small resort with an awesome lunch. Plenty of time to swim and enjoy the day. Wilson himself is great!
Neil K.United States
We had a great day with Wilson exploring some of the islands off the coast of Cartagena. The boat was clean and we felt safe the entire time. We swam next to a coral reef with crystal clear warm water. We then spent a few hours on a beach and had a fresh seafood lunch. We highly recommend Wilson for your next tour.

Fun time for adults and kids taking a speed boat around islands. Pro: sun, snorkeling, swimming, tasty food, fast private boat. Cons: snorkeling is crowded, there are nothing to see in the water, food is insanely expensive, and an island where food is can only be described as a tourist trap. However, guide took care of us and made sure we found a different private beach. Overall recommend.
