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.

The execution of the tour was by the company BackPackers. The guides seemed a little lost in organizing the exit at the meeting point. Very good boat and guide (Christopher) very friendly, always attentive. They reversed the tour claiming that Baru was too crowded. Stop at Cocotea for a drink was quick. Basic snorkeling, not much to see. Cholon was pretty crowded. Lunch in Baru was nice. It's worth noting that it's not quite "lunch included". Each person has a credit of 25K pesos, the rest is up to you (25K pesos pays for a hotdog).

Great. The boat was comfortable, with music and everything you need. The Captain gave us excellent attention and service. Always available and attentive to serve us drinks and that we did not lack for anything. The drink was included and they served rom of good quality and at your discretion.

I was the only English-speaking traveller so I essentially had a private tour with one of the Islanders. The islanders and staff are friendly and helpful. The beach was quiet with only 4-5 other travelers. I recommend this excursion if you are looking to relax and enjoy the sun

We had such a blast on the boat! Everyone was very nice and lively. Definitely a good time if you’re looking to drink and dance.
