Colombia · PARTY BOAT TOURS
A trip has one spare day and a hundred ways to spend it. These 11 party boat tours earn the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes.
Spend two hours on a 28-person party boat in Cartagena Bay with sunset views, rum and mixers, Caribbean crossover music, and an entertainer such as Alexis, Alejandro, or Ricardo. You will pass Manga, Bocagrande, and Castillogrande, stop near the Virgen del Carmen monument, then receive entry to a downtown nightclub.
“Loved the good energy and the welcoming atmosphere given by the tour guide’”
Start near Cartagena’s Clock Tower, ride by boat through the Rosario Islands, swim, then spend several hours at Cholón with music, dancing, lunch, and a weekend DJ. Guides such as Jesús, William, Adrianno, and Orlando are praised for keeping groups organized. Expect vendors, rough water, and extra costs for drinks and activities.
“This was the best excursion I picked for me and my ladies. I enjoyed every minute. Jesus and his team was awesome. They made us feel like family that day! Thank you for a memorable experience! I will be referring my friends to book this when they visit Cartagena.”
Spend about five and a half hours on a music-filled boat trip from Cartagena to Cholón, with a short swim stop, lunch, two beers, and time to party in waist-deep water. Guides such as Adriano, Orlando, Carmelo, Jafet, and Melanis have hosted past departures. This is for adults who want a social water party, not a quiet island tour.
“If you ever have to bring your own towel be warned this may not be for you. Dirty disorganized and inconvenient”
Join a two-hour party boat in Cartagena Bay with music, dancing, a safety briefing, rum-based drinks, and a live guide in English or Spanish. Meet Miss Tatiana at Pegasus Pier, watch the evening light from the water, and use the included nightclub ticket afterward. Expect a lively, casual boat rather than a luxury yacht.
“The tour was alright. It says it is in English, but it was all in Spanish which was misleading. The only drinks offered are rum and coke or rum and orange.”
Spend about eight hours on a music-filled boat from Cartagena, visiting San Fernando de Bocachica, Rosario Islands snorkeling, Isla Grande, Cholon, and Playa Blanca. Cesar may lead your group, and the tour includes equipment, lunch, snacks, water, and beach facilities. Expect about 45 minutes at most stops.
“Cesar was INCREDIBLE! I will say that I’ve heard that the snorkeling is not-so-good in this region, but I found this to be false! This was one of the BEST snorkel adventures I’ve done in my life (I’ve done about 10)! So many different fish, just breathtaking!! Every one of the staff made everyone’s stay comfortable and MEMORABLE!”
Spend a full day traveling from Cartagena to Cholon Beach, a famous party stop surrounded by Caribbean water. You get transport, port fees, pool access, lunch, and two drinks. Expect loud music, boat time, free hours, and a choice of chicken, fish, or vegetarian food. English and Spanish guides are available.
“What a party! My husband and I didn’t have tremendous expectations, just a day out on the water, cocktails and maybe some good background music! We got all that plus met some really fun people, best day during our entire trip to Cartagena!”
Spend about seven hours traveling from Cartagena to Barú and party-focused Cholón by bus and speedboat. You get a Caribbean lunch with three choices, one beer, beach time, and a table and chair arrangement. The Spanish-speaking team may include coordinators such as Sandra and guides such as Claudimar, but English support is not guaranteed.
“Tout d’abord nous avons du prendre un bus depuis le centre historique jusque isla barú où le trajet a duré 1h15 alors qu’il n’avait pas était préciser . Ensuite arrivé sur la plage de Barú finalement aucun transat ou chaise n’ai comprise dans la prestation … il faut rajouter par personne … et la fin de l'excursion c’est terminé dans un chaos total … le retour en bateau était très rapide alors que la mer était agitée ( toutes les personnes avaient peur et crier au pilote d’arrêter .. mais lui rigoler ) une femme a eu l’arcade ouverte , une autre des bleues sur le corps.. je ne recommande…”
Join a two-hour party boat from Cartagena’s Pegasus Pier, with an open bar of Colombian drinks, music, an animator, and views across the bay. Choose a 5, 7, or 9 pm departure, arrive 15 minutes early, and expect a social outing with local and international participants. Hotel transport is not included.
“Sao pontuais e as atendentes do serviço respondem prontamente pelo WhatsApp todas as dúvidas com rapidez e exatidão. o preço é justo e até barato pelo que oferece. Pontos a melhorar: o rapaz que conduz a viagem precisa ser um pouco mais simpático. A musica dele é péssima. Quase só tocou reggatons e eletrônicos e muita musical comercial para gringos de péssima qualidade. Pra salvar a viagem tocou uma ou outra salsa e uma bachata porque eu insisti pedindo. Deveriam tocar música tradicional colombiana e caribenha para que o gringo aprenda a musica local e os latinos desfrutem musica de verdade. Outro ponto: precisam usar um barco que tenha Banheiro!!!…”
Join a 20-person sports boat from Cartagena for music, dancing, welcome drinks, swimming near Isla Grande, and lunch at Cholón Island. A DJ, dancers, entertainers, and prizes keep the day moving. English and Spanish support is available, but confirm the meeting point and transport details before you go.
“For the party, it's great! Disappointed by the 30-minute bus ride there that wasn't announced!! We weren't on the list despite having purchased tickets and the local organizers didn't show up, if you don't make the effort to go to them you'll be left there. So the organization is tricky... and I felt unsafe in Cholon.”
Meet your English- or Spanish-speaking host at the second horse statue on Pegasos Pier. Cruise Cartagena Bay for two hours with sunset views, music, games, dancing, and an open bar of rum, brandy, Coke, and orange juice. Then walk to a typical restaurant, pay for dinner, and explore Getsemaní with club entry included.
Spend three hours sailing Cartagena Bay from Muelle de la Bodeguita with a welcome cocktail, buffet dinner, live DJ, dancers, contests, and an open bar serving cocktails with national liquors. Spanish and English support is available. Shared tables, no beer, and a separate dock tax are important details to know before booking.
Pick a coast, a city or a coffee farm.
