Playa Blanca in Baru Island

We pretty much had private service. We were the only ones that booked the trip and the level of service was just amazing. Hilary talked a bit about Cartagena and history and was just so responsive to all of our questions and requests. The service was above and beyond. The beach is also really nice. There was a comment about the garbage on the walk to the beach. This person clearly has not been anywhere, but all inclusives. Sure, there was some litter, but Colombia is not a wealthy country. There was some litter, but nothing overly bad. Manage your expectation. When you first walk to the beach, the crowds can overwhelm you (we went on a Sunday), but Hilary took us to their spot, which was more quiet and peaceful. The staff brought us drinks when requested and the food was delicious! Very simple, but delicious

Disappointing tour for us- we were the only non-Spanish speaking people in the group which made it difficult for us to feel included and receive the same amount of information passing through the towns from the guide, we were also worried to leave our bags at the location at Playa Blanca to go and explore as the tour guide wasn't very attentive. Plus her english was very bad and she wasnt putting almost zero effort in everything. The bar at our location told by our tour guide was overpriced, drinks from there were very expensive- when we enquired about the prices of drinks, we were very shocked. The prices of lunch were as well overpiriced. Offered dish costed 50.000 pesos so we decided to walk around for food ourselves and compare prices. It came out we did found the same dish which was offered by our tour guide in our location two restaurants away with 50% lower price!!! So at the end we did pay for same dish only 25.000 pesos!!!! It was shocking. Other than that plenty of annoying vendors trying to sell you all they can, it totally felt as they were crossing boundaries with their behavior and our tour guide never even said anything to them to leave us alone. Playa Blanca itself was quite dirty with lots of rubbish in the water. The jetskis also fly past people in the shallows very quickly which is extremely dangerous, especially if someone is submerged in the water and can't be seen. We didnt relax at all at this beach. Place is spreading bad vibes, is too commercial, busy, dirty and people around are only focus on your money, never leaving you alone. We regret choosing this trip and will never return.

The most Wonderful Beautiful Beach. The water was amazing. Alot of traders forcing you to buy. You have to firmly say No bcoz they keep pushing. Point to Note- The Tour only providing transportation To and from the Beach. Nothing else . Choose wisely or just get transport on your own. when you go to the city center .

Really enjoyed the blue waters and lunch was delicious. I will advise on the vendors which can be annoying at times. Be aware of the massage ladies which will be very friendly and offer a sample foot massage and then ask to be paid over $100. US $$ Other than that enjoy the beach

The guide was very polite and friendly, the beach was extremely gorgeous. I paid 79$dollar no meal included plus I had to pay an extra 6000$pesos to go on the island plus 6000$pesos to come back. I was not happy, extremely overpriced for what you get. Wouldn't do it again

Beautiful white sand and blue waters, the place itself is beautiful, however it’s not out of this world, been too many other beaches better than this. Be prepared to get pestered and bombarded by locals trying to sell you things , we just ignored them. The tour leader was nice.

This tour was a great little trip from Cartagena. Once at the beach, you have access to your own lounge chairs right on the beach and the small group (8 total) had its own section of the beach. The trip is no frills. The bus ride does take awhile and the beach is fairly busy with people and boats, but if you want a simple day trip with access to the beach with no frills, then this is the tour for you.

Jesus our tour operator and his driver we’re both amazing! Not only did we have a good time, we also had a personal photographer added😁.. the beach was absolutely beautiful and the lunch served was great. All in all a great day and a wonderful experience.

Was picked up at our Airbnb apartment on time... the driver and tour guide were very nice. The tour guide spoke English so that helped me a lot because my Spanish is still pretty bad. On that day only one other person was picked up at another hotel on the wat so was only a total of 3 guests on the bus. The drive from Cartagena to the beach was close to one hour, and was nice to see some of the local countryside along the way. . The 3rd guest was dropped off on the way to another location, so was just me and my wife left. The last few kilometers to the beech was on some pretty rough road and the driver had to slow down to near walking speed.. the ruts made it a bit uncomfortable during that part of the trip. After we got out of the bus we had to walk to the beach and one stretch of the entrance onto the beach was down a pretty sketchy and rocky hill so I recommend wearing sturdy shoes.. Flip-flops may not so be a good idea on this part of the road. I would not recommend anyone who needs help walking trying that rocky hill. Once you hit the beach however you forget all of that as the beech is quite awesome. Very nice sand and clear waters. We arrived early about 9:30am so was not busy with people. The tour guide took us about a 10 minute walk along the beach to "our spot" were we could rent a Umbrella and lounge chairs to relax. Our package included lunch but they also provided and early snack of fresh fruit as soon as we arrived to out spot about 9:45am. A nice touch. Later we order a few beers through the day and then they served lunch right to our spot. We had the fish and it was quite good. Our guide came and got us at 2:00pm to begin our trek back home. By that time of the day the beach was getting really crowded with people and other boat tours arriving.. so it was a good time to leave. Overall is a very good value for what you get. I would do this tour again no problem next time for sure. Enjoy

Beautiful beach. Our guide Natalia was great and the service including the food was marvelous. I will recommend the tour to anybody
