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
Bad vibes, bad prices, disappointing

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.

Best Beach to visit
Irene_k
, May 2022
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 .
Beautiful 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.

Simple beach day trip
Chris_M
, Feb 2022
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.
Great experience

Pretty Good Value, for a Great day at the Beach
Mark_G
, Jan 2022
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

Exactly what we need, nice tour guide
Xiaofan_C

The tour is basic and that's exactly what we needed. We didn't feel like island hopping and I'm glad that we didn't. The tour guide called me the night before mentioned they changed departure time from 7:30 am to 7:00 am, I was a bit surprised. But I am very happy that we did, we got there early, and feel like we have the place to ourselves. In addition, they also took us to a little bit quite part of the beach and we love it. There are a lot of sales and vendors that will approach you. Bit they're all super friendly and just want to make a living. Treat them nice and they will walk away if you don't want to buy anything.

Paradise with Predatory Vendors

, Feb 2021
The beach is absolutely amazing! However the vendors were harassing us every 5 seconds. We wanted to enjoy some peace and quiet and we got that by actually being in the ocean. Our driver was excellent and he did his best to avoid the protests and traffic. My husband and I think that covid may have spiked the number of vendors fighting for survival by clinging to tourists.
The best beach day trip!

Hayzar was an excellent host and the trip couldn't have been better. The driver was courteous and professional. The beach was beautiful and, more importantly, their location is at the perfect spot. Service and food/drinks at the location were excellent as well. Highly recommended!!

Beautiful day at the beach

Excellent day trip to a beautiful beach! Our guide was very thoughtful. After pick up we stopped at a one stop store where we had time to pick up breakfast, coffee, atm, etc.
The drive is approximately 1 hour, but well worth it. Lunch and drinks were great. Didn't have any major issues with the locals trying to sell things. Guide was very protective of the guests and remained nearby all day. Lounge chairs available for additional rental fee. Cocktails available also. Everything was very convenient. Bar was steps away from the beach. Overall very enjoyable day. Would do it again.

Wonderful Day at the Beach
Andrea_S
, Mar 2020
Thank you to Hayzar and Jose for a wonder trip to the beach! We were picked up from our AirBnB, took a quick stop at a grocery store for any missing essentials, then made our way to the beach. Given that it was windy season, instead of the short boat ride we walked to the beach; sincerely appreciate the judgement call in the best interest of our safety. Fruit, water, and a shaded awning were provided. We also opted for the lunch. Thank you again for a wonderful day, Hayzar!
