Our tour guide Hassan (I think that is how it’s spelled) was awesome. Picked us up from our hotel, stopped in a supermarket for anything we forgot, and explained everything about our day. He was very helpful and made sure we were not taken advantage of by vendors.
The day itself was relaxed, not too many panhandlers but maybe is the time of year we went (mid feb). The food served was delicious, the fish was fresh. We enjoyed our jet ski experience.
Overall a good day, would definitely recommend and use again if we go back to Cartagena.

This tour was perfect for a quick trip to the beach. The trip was short, the lunch was amazing and our guide was accommodating. He was incredibly attentive and it was an overall great tour. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Well organized transport to Playa Blanca. Be ready for heavy traffic and terrible roads as you get close to the beach. The guide was great and provided good information and advice on how to enjoy the experience. Very happy with the excursion. The beach is crowded and, as many others have stated, there are many people trying to sell things, but the sand and water were beautiful. It was a great day.

Beach was nice and the food was great. Nice and relaxing time away from all the vendors. The lemonada de coco was the best here. Fresh

A wonderful trip! We were picked up from our hotel in Bocagrande and rode in an nice air conditioned bus. We were taken a spot away from the crowd and got to spend a beautiful day on the beach. We enjoyed the fine sand, warm sun and beautiful clear blue Caribbean Sea. I highly recommend this trip! As always Viator provides excellent tour services!

My guide was Helder(I think) and driver was Louis. They were extremely great and helpful. The food was good and we went to a better part of the beach by a little speed boat nd walked back through a wooded area. If you have issues with walking, climbing or sight beware. The walk to the beach is a trek in uneven rocky terrain and the walk back is through the woods on very rocky, uneven, hilly terrain. You can’t take the boat back bc at the time of day the waters are too rough. I will say Louis helped me down to the back and they both helped me in and out if the boat. They were great.

This was an amazing tour. Everything ran smoothly from the pick up at our hotel to the commute to Baru Island. Hayzar our tour was the coolest. He provided us with ideas on what to do at Playa Bianca. He was one of the nicest people I ever met in Colombia. The food was out of this world. Freshly prepared and so delicious. We were greeted with a plate of fresh fruits too. Definitely worth the extra money we paid for the lunch option. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Colombia.
