4.Cartagena: Ecoplan on Barú, Aviary and Oceanarium in one day

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 3 reviews · from $68

Spend nine hours exploring Barú, Rosario Islands, and the National Aviary from Cartagena. You travel by air-conditioned van and basic local boat, enjoy a typical lunch, then take a two-hour aviary tour. Oceanarium entry and snorkeling cost extra. English and Spanish guides are available.

“The bus that picked us up was old. With no shock absorbers, we traveled along a pseudo-road that had once been paved. We arrived at a dusty, dirty parking lot. It was full of people getting off the bus and walking down a rocky path to a chaotic place full of people asking questions. Then they took us to the beach, where there was no space and all the facilities were crammed with people, chairs, and clutter. It was basically a no man's land. I don't recommend this experience. They charge you for everything, there are no decent or clean bathrooms. This is not how you do tourism.Read more”
