A practical review of Cartagena’s Rosario Islands boat tour, with snorkeling, Playa Blanca, Cholón, lunch, costs, safety tips, and honest advice.
“a long day of fun with franklin! if you're solely looking for a beach island party, be aware that the first stop is a walking tour of a historical landmark. my only complaint was that we didn't stay on each island long enough! each stop was 50-60min, but the boat ride was fun baru (last stop) was my favorite beach. bring some cash if you want to save some money, most places accept card/apple pay with an additional 15% service fee”
