“Beautiful boat and very friendly crew. They all seemed to enjoy their jobs. It was very fun to actually travel by sail in the afternoon. It was a bit rough and some people might not like that but I enjoyed it. Excellent lunch. Bring sunscreen and some cash for extra drinks with you.”
Review of Santa Marta’s 150-minute sunset sail to Taganga Bay, including two drinks, marina access, timing, comfort, value, and practical tips.
“This experience was not relaxing at all. We expected a smooth, calm sunset sail, but instead it felt like a rollercoaster ride for nearly two hours. The waves were extremely choppy, the guide offered little to no communication, and after sunset they continued going further out into the sea when it was already dark. We genuinely did not feel safe, and our guide didn't even once reassure us even tho we looked unease Unless you’re looking for a rough, adrenaline-style boat ride, I would not recommend this activity.”
Review of Santa Marta’s sailing trip to Tayrona Park, with Bahia Concha, lunch, snorkeling, paddleboarding, bilingual crew, and practical value advice.
“The crew was lovely and took good care of us. However, the tour didn't deliver and is quite expensive for what it is. Despite having booked an English tour with what was advertised as a bilingual crew, no one spoke any English and we did not understand any of the information given about the park or the day. So it was basically an expensive taxi to Concha beach. The beach is very full with boats who are blasting music despite it being a national park. We did some sailing back to Santa Marta, which was nice. In the end thay wanted to make us pay for some beers we hadn't…”
