Barú, Rosario & Tierra Bomba Islands Trips & Tours

Off the coast of Cartagena lies a collection of protected islands to rival those of your dreams.
Just an hour across the sea from the bustling city of Cartagena, the Rosario Islands are a sanctuary of blinding, sugary beaches, azure waters and vibrant coral reefs. Rosario is actually a collection of 27 islands, each offering a unique blend of natural, unsullied beauty and rustic charm. They range from tiny, uninhabited atolls to larger islands dotted with beach resorts. Expect your days to involve snorkelling in the coral-rich waters, lounging on sun-drenched beaches, or exploring the island's unique ecosystems. Top off your experience with a freshly caught and grilled lobster from one of the beachside shacks.
