What people are saying about Antioquia

Great expérience. The boat was very comfortable with plenty of seating in the sun and in the shade as well as 3 bathrooms below deck. The ride to the first set of islands was about an hour and a half and it’s a very nice ride very relaxing. At the first stop there is swimming and snorkelling with optional life jackets and poop noodles (altho not much to see underwater, just nice to jump in the water!) about and hour ride to next stop where you are served lunch and salad bar which was quite delicious. At the second stop you are anchored for 2 hours close to a nice beach which we swam to and enjoyed some time on the smooth, sandy shores. Quick swim back to the boat with a spirited ride back to the dock where we just lounged, had some cocktails, and enjoyed the view. All in all a nice day!

We hired the boat to tour the Rosario islands, and any other interesting sites. The communication via Whatsapp was excellent and we were greeted at the marina by an English speaking lady who relayed our wishes to the (two person) friendly crew. We went to the Rosario islands and stopped underway for some snorkelling. At the islands they recommended spending some time at the Pa’ue beach club, which was excellent and relaxing. Tip: come early-ish to arrive before some larger groups arrive for lunch so you are able to get the great lounge beds. After that we went to Playa Blanca which was much bigger then we thought, with numerous beach clubs, also recommended.

Very nice and well run cruise. Nice people, beautiful sunset views and views of the city while enjoying a glass of wine and small eats! Good music too, not too loud but loud enough to dance to as some people did The catamaran is stable and feels steady with no rocking.

Excellent market tour and cooking class with Jasmine. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Jasmine is authentic, warm, friendly, and very talented.

super fun, beautiful landscape, all around good way to spend a day
