Ride horses into Cartagena’s Caribbean surf, enjoy photos and lunch, and get practical tips on guides, transport, timing, and value.

“it was such a unique and beautiful experience. Carlos was my guide—he was kind, welcoming, and helped make the ride special. I did have to take a call midway through, so I didn’t get to say a proper thank-you, but I really appreciated his presence and guidance. That said, a heads-up for non-Spanish speakers: the guide didn’t speak English, which made the beginning of the tour a little intimidating.

★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 17 reviews · 7 hours · from $85

Review of Cartagena’s Raccoon Island tour, with mangroves, snorkeling, lunch, beach time, photos, transport, costs, and practical advice.

“The snorkeling part was very short and reduced to a speed under water photo shooting. It would have been nice to have more time to see the fishes. Also the whole thing was rather chaotic. We did not get the pictures they made but a bunch of random pictures of other people. So all in all...I would not book ot again”

“Birdwatching made easy. So many hummingbirds and other species.. easy viewing. Hummingbirds will fly very close or feed by you. Excellent for photography. A few short trails around property. Good to get out of Cali and see countryside.our tour guide Vivi was very informative/helpful on drive to and from the birdwatching venue. Spoke good English and explained Spanish versions of bird names which often sound better than their English version! No biting bugs when we went in January. Logistics good and we stopped for a typical Colombian snack on return and were welcomed with coffee at venueRead more”

“Paola did a great job with the tour. Before we started, we reviewed the most important theoretical concepts.

I was free to take any type of picture and at the same time, received tips and tricks on what to pay attention to. Furthermore, Paola asked me what I would like to focus on and made sure I was able to practice the same. Super friendly and helpful, many thanks!”
