    Worst experience ever. We booked a tour in English and they promised it but it was only in Spanish. the guides were unprofessional, the tour is nothing like they promised , they rushed from place to place and took us to the most crowded and trashy places, the tour is said to be private but we had to share a boat with plenty other people, they didn’t prepare for the ride and made us wait almost an hour while they shopped for the essentials. They also sell the tour as a snorkelling tour but there were no snorkels and the Glases was not good so water got inside. Overall it was a horrible experience, would not recommend, felt like being trapped in scary island.

    We took the DYK Tours through World Expo agency. We did the 5 island tour which included 2 snorkeling spot, lunch at isle de rosario, cholon and isle de baro. I’m not sure why they advertise this as a snorkeling tour. They failed to give snorkels or fins. They took us to a spot which had a lot of currents and it was difficult to swim easily. The speed boat was drifting away which made it an even more difficult, tiring and dangerous experience. Our guide had to pull us for a good 10-15 mins to the boat since the currents were pulling us away. Lunch was good - we had fried fish and chicken options. We had the most fun at Cholon island. Overall the tour company could do more to help ensure safety for its customers

    Die schlechteste Tour die wir jemals gemacht haben. Wir mussten um 7.45 Uhr dort sein. Sind erst um 9.00 Uhr losgefahren. Da zu viele Leute im Bus waren (oder zu wenig Busse verfügbar) fuhren wir einmal durch die Stadt. Dann waren wir um 9.30 Uhr wieder am Startpunkt. Der Bus baute auf dem Weg einen Unfall und wir mussten den Bus wechseln. Kamen viel zu spät an, es war ein konstantes Chaos. Da wir zu spät waren war der Wellengang sehr hoch und wir hatten Angst auf dem Boot. Es wird keine Rücksicht genommen und einfach drauflos gefahren, wir dachten zeitweise wir kentern. Nichts ist zu empfehlen. Nichts wurde eingehalten wie versprochen.

    Pedro was our tour guide and he was great. We booked though a little lady selling the excursion on the street. We toured 5 islands They took us to the aquarium Snorkeling a sunken airplane Chilled on some white sand beaches and they made us lunch. My son and husband had fried fish and my daughter and myself had the chicken. Nothing fancy but definitely tasty The crew on our boat were very professional and helpful/caring We got to rent jet skis while at one of the islands The last stop was in the pitch dark where we all jumped in the water and the bio illuminated plankton were sooo cool. If you have a laid back personality and just want to have a good time, kids and all this is so good. We had a blast. It was a long tour but man did we have fun. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Pedro messaged my husband to make sure we got home safe. That was super nice. He even took under water pics of my family snorkeling and sent them to us. That was super cool.

    This said there would be a max of 15 people on my tour - there were 50 plus people. We spent over an hour waiting in line. There was also no information - what port number, signs with the company name, etc when booking. Information like the fact that you need to pay a port fee or the boat doesn’t leave until an hour plus after the departure time would have been helpful for planning.

    I took the 5 VIP open islands + plankton tour and it was a very cool experience. I had a lot of fun and made new friends. The guide and receptionists were very happy and respectful. They exceeded my expectations 10/10 Without a doubt, it is the best option to take the service of the 5 islands of the Rosary.

    (Translated by Google) I took the Barú + Islas del Rosario plan. The whole terrible experience: on the bus nobody wore a mask, not even the guides who should set an example. The people on the boats discourage the Entrance to the aquarium, words more words less say that you should not go there if not go to the other place that is open, it seems that they are paid a commission for taking people there. Terrible experience with this company. (Original) Tomé el plan Barú + Islas del Rosario. Toda la experiencia pésima: en el bus nadie usaba tapabocas, ni los mismos guías quienes deberían dar ejemplo. Las personas de las lanchas desestimulan el Ingreso al acuario, palabras más palabras menos dicen que no hay que ir ahi si no ir al otro lugar que es abierto, parecería que les pagan comisión por llevar gente allí. Terrible experiencia con esta empresa.

    They subcontracted, but we were very satisfied with the subcontractors.

    Just returned from the Rosario 5 Islip trip from the pier of Cartegenas by convention center and it was horrible. I do NOT recommend it. The driver drove the yacht as if were a speed boat & passengers jumped into air over 7 times … I understand the wind/waves but he was pulling tricks thinking it was fun but it was reckless, dangerous & a total disregard for passengers. Also we weren’t given life vests when driver did this!!! Two passengers, including me, a young German man and I, were yelling to stop and the more we yelled at him to stop and signaled him w our hands, the faster he sped the boat up in the air.. it was unnecessary & reckless. I was so dissatisfied I informed him & demanded he return me back to Cartegenas. There were no handles to grab on the yacht or seat belts. Also the so called snorkeling which I was informed that I would be provided w equipment was just a face mask… and about a15 minute event… they also squeezed in too many passengers and some including my life vest was broken…. Not even sure if the driver was licensed & I’d he is, his license shoukd be sanctioned

    (Translated by Google) They did not comply with the departure time because there was a lot of delay by the agency, also with the taking of free photography underwater, and with the agreed destinations because they did not take us to the place where we could see the fish underwater with the mask , this with the excuse that the waves were very strong and we could not go to the site. When starting the tour so late, you could not enjoy much time in Playa Azul, the agency's eagerness to leave us quickly in Playa Blanca was noticeable and thus be able to release the boat. When people complain, they don't answer phones and don't compensate with anything. It is suggested not to pay the entire plan until it is verified that the agency complied with what was promised or at least compensated with something. (Original) Incumplieron con el tiempo de salida porque hubo mucha demora por parte de la agencia, también con la toma de la fotografía gratuita bajo el agua, y con los destinos acordados porque no nos llevaron al lugar donde podíamos ver los peces bajo el agua con la careta, esto con la excusa de que las olas estaban muy fuertes y no podíamos ir al sitio. Al iniciar el tour tan tarde, no se pudo disfrutar mucho tiempo en playa azul, se notaba el afán de la agencia para dejarnos rápido en playa Blanca y poder así liberar la lancha. Ante los reclamos de la gente no responden teléfonos y no compensan con nada. Se sugiere no pagar la totalidad del plan hasta que se verifique que la agencia cumplió con lo prometido o al menos compensaron con algo.

    (Translated by Google) I hired the Tour with this agency through the hotel, but then it turns out that another agency Liza Tours operated it. I chose an island and at the insistence of the person who accompanied me to the pier I changed the island. It was a fiasco. The boat I was going to travel in was completely full and they made me wait for the next one. An hour and a half after the agreed time at the hotel, I was leaving for the island. They take you to areas crowded with tourists, and nothing of the promised conditions. Be clear that the port tax is paid separately (17,500COP) and they do not indicate it when hiring the Tour (Original) Contraté el Tour con esta agencia a través del hotel, pero luego resulta q lo operó otra agencia Liza Tours. Elegí una isla y por insistencia de la persona que me acompañó al muelle cambié de isla. Resultó un fiasco. La lancha en la que iba a viajar estaba completamente llena y me hicieron esperar a la siguiente. Una hora y media después de la hora acordada en el hotel, estaba saliendo para la isla. Te llevan a zonas abarrotadas de turistas, y de las condiciones prometidas nada. Tener claro que la tasa portuaria se paga a parte (17.500COP) y no lo indican a la hora de contratar el Tour

    Simply DYK is the best tour of Cartagena, and the guides without a doubt 👌 ♥️ are the best and offer you the best experience you can have on the paradisiacal beaches of the Rosario Islands. The sunset on Playa Blanca is undoubtedly a spectacle that they offer us when we choose DYK as our guides.

    Our guide was Gerado. We had a great experience with this tour. Gerado was very informative and provided us with the information in both Spanish and English. There were options to go snorkeling or stay on the beach, which was great. The boat captains were kind and helpful with getting on and off the boat. Gerado, definitely made this trip for us. He played some amazing music, had great conversations with the group, and helped in any way he could. Highly recommend!
