    Pelagic Tours in Providencia was a really great boat tour. A married couple, Josselyn and Jostiffer, are your hosts and guides. We fully circumnavigated the island of Providencia. We left at 9am and returned about 3pm. We snorkeled at Crab Key and also along the reef. She took GoPro pictures of us and uploaded them to a cloud site from which I was able to download them. Very nice touch. Overall a great tour and fun day.

Best Tours and Activities in Providencia | Top Experiences 2024

Tucked away in the Caribbean Sea, Providencia is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Famous for its turquoise waters, vibrant coral reefs, and lush green hills, this small Colombian island offers a laid-back charm and authentic island life. Whether you're yearning for adventure, relaxation, or the perfect photo opportunity, this paradise has it all.

A Glimpse Into the Past

The island's history is a fascinating blend of Afro-Caribbean culture, pirate legends, and colonial heritage. Once used as a pirate hideout, it retains much of its original character and traditions, reflected in the local food, music, and warm hospitality.

Best Time to Go

While Providencia enjoys warm temperatures year-round, the dry season from December to April is perfect for water activities and exploring the island. If you love diving, visit from June to November when the sea is calm and visibility is at its best.

How do I get to the island?

The island can be reached by flying to San Andrés and then taking a short domestic flight or a ferry. Planning in advance will help secure your transportation, especially during peak travel months.

What are the top things to do?

Popular activities include snorkeling or diving in the famous Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, hiking to Morgan’s Head, and relaxing on pristine beaches like South West Bay. You can also sample local dishes such as fresh lobster and rondón stew.
