Excellent boat experience in Cartagena. Hansa helped us choose the right option for our group and everything felt safe and well planned. The stops at the islands were beautiful, especially the clear water areas. Having water, ice and a private crew made the day very easy.
Nate and Julia CanadaWe rented a private boat with friends and had an amazing day around the islands. The boat was comfortable, the crew was kind and the route felt flexible. We loved swimming near the islands and relaxing away from the crowds. Definitely worth it if you want a more private Caribbean day.
Sophie M FranceThe private boat day was the highlight of our Cartagena trip. Everything was organized, from hotel pickup to the marina and back. We stopped in beautiful clear water, had time to swim and enjoyed lunch by the beach in Baru. The crew was friendly and professional.
