Tour Details 

At the scheduled time, we’ll depart from the International Marina aboard a boat that will take us on a tour of Santa Marta’s best beaches. Are you ready to spend a day under the Caribbean sun?

Our first stop will be Playa Grande, a wide stretch of golden sand and green hills. This is the perfect spot to start, thanks to its gentle waves that will let you take your first dip in the warm waters.

Next, we’ll continue to Playaca, known for its peaceful atmosphere. It’s the ideal spot to lie back in the sun and watch the vegetation making its way through the sand. We’ll be surrounded by saltbushes, palm trees, and flowers that thrive in the sea breeze.

We’ll then sail to Inca Inca, where the sea becomes almost like a mirror of glass. Here we’ll jump in with snorkeling gear to explore the area’s underwater ecosystem. We’ll observe whimsically shaped corals, sea urchins, and elusive multicolored fish darting through the coral gardens.

We’ll return on board and, at Calderón Beach, take another break to recharge our energy in a perfect haven for relaxation. As the boat gently rocks, we’ll enjoy a traditional lunch featuring a choice of fish, chicken, or pork with seasonal ingredients, accompanied by non-alcoholic beverages.

With our stomachs full, we’ll head to Playa Blanca, the most famous beach on the entire route. Its snow-white sand and deep blue waters will welcome us with their characteristic energy. Here we’ll find a lively atmosphere, small boats, and the true essence of the Caribbean.

Finally, we’ll head to Pelican Island, a tiny cay where nature reveals itself in its purest form. Surrounded by reefs and frequented by seabirds, it'll be the perfect ending for one last snorkeling session or a peaceful stroll along the shore.

Finally, we’ll set sail back to our starting point, where we’ll say our goodbyes after an 8.5-hour tour.
