About This Tour

Skip the 40-person party boat. This is a nimble 28-ft speedboat built for 2 to 4 guests who want the islands to themselves — 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 couples, honeymoons, anniversaries and intimate pairs who want the most personal Rosario Islands day possible. 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 Casa Baru for our honeymoon — exactly what we wanted. Just the two of us, our captain, the speedboat, and the Caribbean. Snorkel spot was unreal, beach club was romantic and relaxed, and the captain even surprised us with a little champagne toast we'd mentioned in the booking notes. Magical.

10th anniversary trip and this was the highlight. Loved that it was so intimate — just us and one couple friend. The boat was fast, the crew was warm but discreet, and we had the snorkel spot mostly to ourselves. Beach club lunch was perfect. The fee transparency made booking stress-free.

We didn't want a big group tour and this delivered exactly. Casa Baru is the perfect size for a couple — fast across the water, intimate, personalized service. Loved the captain's knowledge of the islands and his recommendation of a quieter beach spot. Will book again next time we're in Cartagena.
