MYSTERIOUS MANGROVES AND ENCHANTED LAGOON

You will take a private speedboat to Isla Rosario where you will explore the Enchanted Lagoon and its mystical mangrove tunnels by kayak. The lagoon is so named so because at night it is lit up by bioluminescent plankton – dip your hand in the water, and it will magically flash blue and green. As well as a picnic on the beach, there will be time to go snorkeling in our crystal clear Caribbean waters.

SECRET BEACH DISCOVERY TOUR

In this trip to the beautiful Tayrona National Park, you will hike to one of the most pristine beaches in Colombia, learning about our native wildlife on the way. There will also be plenty of time to relax on the golden sands, and an alfresco picnic is all part of the adventure.
