Private Boat Tours in Cartagena

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Cartagena from the water on a private boat tour with Bakadi Dreams – an exclusive, personalised experience perfect for cruise passengers looking for something truly special. Step aboard a comfortable private boat and cruise along the stunning Caribbean coastline of Colombia, exploring hidden bays, tropical islands and the vibrant marine life that makes this region one of the most beautiful in the world.

Your private boat tour begins at the cruise terminal, where your friendly English-speaking captain and crew welcome you aboard. As you glide through the warm turquoise waters of Cartagena Bay, you will pass the imposing fortress walls of the old city, colourful fishing boats and pelicans diving for their catch. The panoramic views of the Cartagena skyline from the water are simply unforgettable and offer the perfect photo opportunities.

Depending on your chosen route, the boat takes you to the stunning Rosario Islands – a protected national park made up of 27 coral islands surrounded by crystal-clear waters teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles and colourful coral formations. Here you can snorkel in the warm Caribbean sea, swim off pristine white-sand beaches or simply relax in a hammock with a fresh coconut in hand. The islands are a true paradise, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the mainland.

Another popular route explores the scenic Cholon lagoon, famous for its floating party boats and tranquil mangrove channels. Cruise past local fishing villages, discover hidden coves and enjoy a refreshing swim in waters so clear you can see the sandy bottom metres below. Your crew will prepare fresh tropical fruit and cold beverages on board, making this a truly relaxing and indulgent experience.

For those who prefer a more cultural route, the boat can take you along the historic harbour, past the iconic San Felipe fortress and the charming Manga neighbourhood with its colonial mansions. As the afternoon sun begins to set, the golden light over Cartagena creates a magical atmosphere that you will remember for years to come.

This private Bakadi Dreams excursion runs in a small group with a friendly English-speaking guide throughout – and a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
