Cholón is the most famous party destination in the Cartagena islands — and the Cholón Forever Party Ticket is the most popular way to get there. A shared boat experience designed for solo travelers and small groups who want to join an organized party day, this ticket gives you access to a festive boat, hotel pickup, a beach club stop, Cholón’s legendary sandbar party, and more — all for a fixed price.
What Is the Cholón Forever Party Ticket?
Unlike Botegena’s private tours, the Cholón Forever Ticket is a shared experience — meaning you’ll be joining other travelers on the same boat. It’s the ideal option for solo travelers, couples, or small groups of two to four people who don’t need (or want to pay for) a private vessel.
The ticket includes hotel pickup, transportation to the marina, a welcome drink, a stop at Ibbiza Beach Club, the full Cholón experience, and return transfer — making it one of the most complete and hassle-free island experiences available from Cartagena.
What’s Included
- Hotel pickup from your accommodation in Cartagena
- Welcome beers on board
- Stop at Ibbiza Beach Club
- Time at Cholón (the main party sandbar)
- Music and party atmosphere throughout the day
- Return transfer to your hotel
What to Expect: Hour by Hour
Morning pickup: The shared boat experience starts with hotel collection in the morning. You don’t need to find your own way to the marina — the team picks you up directly.
Ibbiza Beach Club: The first island stop is Ibbiza Beach Club, a popular stop known for its lively atmosphere, music, food, and the chance to swim and socialize before the Cholón stop. Lunch is available at the club (additional cost).
Cholón: The main event. The boat anchors at the Cholón sandbar alongside dozens of other vessels. Vendors come to you with cocktails, ceviche, fresh fruit, and hookahs. Music fills the air from every direction, and the social atmosphere is unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere in the Caribbean. It’s chaotic, fun, and entirely unique.
Return: The boat returns to Cartagena in the late afternoon, with a transfer back to your hotel.
Who Is This Ticket For?
Solo travelers: If you’re traveling alone and want a sociable, fun day on the water, the shared boat experience is perfect. You’ll meet other travelers from around the world in a setting that naturally encourages conversation and connection.
Couples on a budget: If a private boat is more than you want to spend, the Cholón Forever Ticket provides a fun, well-organized alternative.
Small groups: Groups of 2–4 who don’t need a full private vessel can enjoy a premium party day experience at a fraction of the cost.
First-time visitors to Cartagena: If you’ve just arrived and want a quick, easy way to understand what the island scene is about, this ticket delivers the essential Cartagena experience in one day.
Practical Tips
Arrive ready to party. This is not a relaxed island day — it’s an organized party experience. Come with energy and an open attitude.
Bring cash. Beach clubs and Cholón vendors don’t always accept cards. Have Colombian pesos (or USD) for drinks, food, and tips.
Protect your belongings. On a shared boat with many people, it’s wise to keep valuables minimal and secure.
Wear sunscreen. Hours on the water in the Caribbean sun require serious sun protection. Reapply frequently.
Be social. The shared boat experience is as good as the people on it. Introduce yourself, join conversations, and embrace the collective atmosphere.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people are on the shared boat? Group sizes vary depending on the boat and booking volume. The Botegena team can provide details on expected group size at the time of booking.
Is food included? Welcome beers are included. Lunch and additional drinks at the beach club and Cholón are at your own expense.
What if I want more privacy? If you’d prefer a private experience, the Adult Boat Party Tour is the private equivalent — same general itinerary, but exclusively for your group.
Is this tour appropriate for non-drinkers? Yes. The social atmosphere at Cholón is what makes it special — alcohol is part of it, but not required to enjoy the experience.
The Cholón Forever Party Ticket is the most accessible entry point into Cartagena’s legendary island party scene. Whether you’re a solo traveler looking for connection or a small group wanting a full Caribbean day, it delivers everything Cartagena’s water life has to offer.
