What you can expect
Hotel pick-up is available depending on the area. Clients staying outside the pick-up zone will be assigned a meeting point. Once at La Bodeguita, you will pay the fees, pass through the turnstiles, and at the dock, your host will meet you. They will be identified by a turquoise uniform with red sleeves or a white jumper, who will verify your pre-registration, provide you with handcuffs, and a lunch ticket according to the activity you have booked. Afterwards, we will wait for the port captain's authorisation to depart, which is granted between 8:30 am and 9:00 am. We will then begin boarding. Please note that pregnant women, people with mobility issues, and senior citizens should not participate in the activity but must do so at their own risk. They will be seated at the back of the speedboat. We will pass by Tierra Bomba Island, which is only accessible by water. It has four villages: Tierra Bomba, Punta Arena, Caño del Oro, and Bocachica. From the boat, we can see the forts of San Fernando and San José. These forts were part of the military fortifications of Cartagena de Indias, built by the Spanish during the colonial era in what is now Colombia. The guide will then announce that the trip to the Corales del Rosario National Park takes approximately 45 minutes. After passing the islands, we will be in open water. Those who do not wish to participate in activities on the Rosario Islands have other options. To go directly to Barú, if any guests wish, they will be taken to the island, and we will continue with those who wish to take the marine excursion to the Rosario Islands. There, guests can choose between two activities: a marine excursion or snorkelling, for an additional fee. Only one activity may be chosen at a time, and both activities are offered simultaneously. Between 45 minutes and 1 hour is allotted for these activities. Those who do not wish to participate but have arrived at the island must wait seated or walking outside for those who choose to do so. Swimming in the sea is not permitted here due to the high volume of boats arriving.
Between 12:00 and 12:30 PM, we will arrive at Barú Island, specifically at the quiet beach area where our restaurant is located. Guests will enjoy their lunch of choice, selected in advance according to their plan. Use of the restaurant's facilities, such as bathrooms, urinals, or changing rooms, is free of charge. Please note that the restaurant's tables and chairs are for lunch use only. Customers can rent chairs and tents in front of the restaurant or outside, according to their preference.
