About This Tour

Skip the 40-person party boat. This is a 28-ft speedboat with room for up to 8 guests — quick across the water, easy to load, running you out of Cartagena to the Rosario Islands while everyone else is still queuing on the dock. Your group, your captain, your day.

You leave Muelle de la Bodeguita around 9 AM with a bilingual captain and guide. The boat heads out to the islands, drops anchor at a clear-water snorkel spot near Isla Grande, and the gear comes out. After the reef, you pull up to a beach club for the afternoon — lunch, a swim, feet in the sand — then an easy cruise back into Cartagena by mid-afternoon.

Built for small groups, families and couples. Everything that costs extra — the park entrance fee, the beach-club minimum, lunch — is written out clearly before you book, so the price you plan for is the price you pay.

Customer Reviews

Booked the Arigato just for the two of us and a couple friends — perfect intimate option. The speedboat was fast, the captain was incredible, and we had so much flexibility because the group was small. Beach club lunch was delicious. Way better than crowding onto a shared shuttle boat.

Our family of 6 plus 2 friends — 8 guests total, perfect for the Arigato. Kids loved the speedboat ride, snorkeling was clear and easy, beach club had something for everyone. Captain was patient and friendly. The fee transparency was so refreshing — no surprises at all.

Honeymoon trip to Cartagena and we wanted something private but not over-the-top. The Arigato was the perfect size — just our group of 4, fast across the water, and we had the snorkel spot mostly to ourselves. Beach club was relaxing, crew was respectful. Highly recommend!
