“I was extremely pleased with the fact that I could personalized the experience to surprise my husband on our fourth weding anniversary.

Spend about nine hours traveling from Cartagena to Playa Blanca, Barú, with air-conditioned transport, a Mambo Beach Club sun chair, lunch credit, snacks, and a welcome drink. Expect clear water, soft sand, loud music, local vendors, lockers, bathrooms, and a lively beach-club setting rather than a quiet escape.
“This is the only bar on the beach that offers sunbeds without a parasol, and only these are included in the price. To be in the shade you have to pay 80k (or 50%) extra. The 30k meal voucher only buys you fried rice. If you want fish that's another 30k. Music is played very loud even in the morning so this is not the place for relaxation. You'll get a better deal elsewhere.”

“This was a fantastic trip in every way possible. Starting with the clear, timely communication with Karla, one of the owners, to our arrival in Leticia then in Puerto Narino, everything every step of the way was handled professionally. The guides and English translator were top notch, so were the accommodations and the meals. We felt we had a very good exposure to the area’s natural history in the jungle and on the water. There’s a fair amount of walking on slippery trails so a person needs to be in decent shape.”

Mario coordinates the outing, while captains such as Luis and assistants such as Leider or Denner guide your stops. Snorkeling gear, a cooler with ice, life vests, and a water mat are included.
“Great activity! Mario met us at the dock a little before our start time of 10am after having communicated via WhatsApp the night before. He had previously provided all the necessary details and info. He introduced us to our captain and his assistant, and we left the dock on time for our day tour around the island. We followed the tour itinerary, but because this was a private excursion (just my partner and me), we had a bit more flexibility in how long we stayed in each spot. Highly recommended!”

Guides work in English and Spanish. Eleonora received warm praise for helping guests, while pickup timing and sales pressure have caused problems.
“La partenza inizia con un ritardo di un'ora nel punto concordato. La guida non risponde al telefono (il numero del bus non ci era stato segnalato e ce ne erano diversi in partenza). Dopo un viaggio di un'oretta in bus, arriviamo alla spiaggia e ci spostiamo con una barca per 3 min, arrivando in un lido con proprietari insistenti (per farti acquistare bevande e altro).
