Details of the San Bernardo Islands tour
Located in the Morrosquillo Gulg, the islands of San Bernardo are
composed of 10 islands with an area of approximately 250 square
kilometers. This archipelago is part of the National Park and Natural
Corals of the Rosario and these 10 small paradises surrounded by
crystal blue waters, is a forgotten place where nature and humans have
learned to evolve together, in harmony.
The San Bernardo Islands are ideal for honeymooners, couples, friends
and families looking for a wonderful adventure including excursions,
beautiful beaches and water sports. In just one day you can see this
little visited paradise of the Caribbean Sea.
We offer 2 spectacular tours:
1. Shared tour by boat to San Bernardo Islands
The tour starts at your hotel from 5h00 am and we transport you from
your hotel by private vehicle to Tolu. A route of 3 hours and a half.
Once in Tolu, a shared speed boat will leave around 9h00 am to take you
to the San Bernardo Islands to discover the islands of Boquerón, Palma,
Panda, Marravilla and Tintipan.
The island of Tintipan is the largest island and you can eat delicious
seafood dishes on the long white beach, under a colorful umbrella. In
Colombia, the island of Tintipan is also a haven for many pelicans and
it's a good time to navigate the mangrove labyrinth. With the exception
of the guardians of the island and some owners, there are no
inhabitants. They live all in front, in Islote de Santa Cruz.
Islote de Santa Cruz is absolutely required to see and is considered
the island with the highest density of people in the world with a
population of just under a thousand people and 70 houses. On this
island, there is a primary school and a secondary school, a health
center, a pharmacy, shops, a swimming pool and a small power station.
You can also swim with sharks and turtles for a small fee.
Finally, we head to Mucura Island which is truly beautiful for relaxing
and snorkeling with its corals and tropical fish. A typical dinner
awaits you and is included in this tour.
The boat tour ends around 5h00 pm in Tolu where our vehicle awaits you
to return to Cartagena and bring you back to your hotel around 8h00 pm.
We can stop along the way if you want to eat something.
2. Private tour to the San Bernardo Islands
The tour starts at your hotel at 6h00 am and we will transport you from
your hotel by private vehicle to Playetas (Barú) where your private
speed boat will transport you to the San Bernardo Islands. The boat
trip to the San Bernardo Islands is approximately 2 hours from Playetas.
You will discover the islands of Boquerón, Palma, Panda, Marravilla and
Tintipan. You will come to Islote de Santa Cruz, which is considered
the island with the highest density of people in the world, and has a
population of just under a thousand people and 70 houses. On this
island, there is a primary school and a secondary school, a health
center, a pharmacy, shops, a swimming pool and a small power station.
You can also swim with sharks and turtles for a small fee.
You can choose to visit the islands that interest you or ask the
captain some suggestions to better appreciate your day. Dinner is not
included, but the island of Mucura is renowned for offering good food
service and is probably the most beautiful island in Colombia. It is
beautiful to relax, swim or snorkel with its corals and tropical fish.
Around 3h00 pm, we must go back to Playetas so as not to navigate in
darkness or before 5h30 pm. Our private vehicle will finally transport
you to your hotel around 7h00 pm.
