Islas del Rosario

Islas del Rosario, a protected archipelago off Cartagena’s coast, is known for clear Caribbean waters, coral reefs, and laid‑back beach escapes. Day trips and overnights offer snorkeling and diving with good visibility, kayaking through mangroves, and visits to small cays like Isla Grande. Expect boat transfers (45–75 minutes), simple beach clubs to boutique lodges, and entrance fees for the national park. Marine life is the main draw; beaches are smaller than on mainland resorts, and weekends get busy. Ideal for travelers seeking calm water activities and a break from Cartagena’s urban energy. Weather is warm year‑round; seas can be choppy.
