4.Movie World, Sea World, & Wet’n’Wild Multi Park 1-Day Pass

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 4 reviews · 3 months · from $84

Use one Village Roadshow pass for same-day entry to Movie World, Sea World, Wet’n’Wild, and Paradise Country. You get rides, animal presentations, water attractions, and live farm shows, with access valid for three months before your chosen visit date. No guide or food is included.

“Both movie world and Wet'n'Wild had issues with the pass and getting in. took an hour at each park to get in because of this. they claimed it wasn't real and tried to make us repay for each park. very unprofessional and rude staff at the parks. we wasted 2 hours of our day trying to get into parks. I don't understand why this is a problem as this is an official pass, something needs to be done to make it easier to get in and inform the staff at said parks so they are aware of this pass.”

5.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”
