Tierra Bomba Island Boat Tour
Tierra Bomba Island Boat Tour
COP $2,200,000
Tierra Bomba is the closest island to Cartagena and one of the most underrated day trip destinations in the area. The Tierra Bomba Island Boat Tour is a private boat experience that trades long open-water crossings for a more relaxed, accessible island day without giving up any of the scenery, history, or beach time that makes a great day on the water.
Because of how close it is to the city, this tour is a great fit for families, couples, groups with limited time, or anyone who wants a genuinely beautiful island experience without the rougher open-water ride out to the Rosario Islands or Barú. Less time on the water means more time enjoying the destination.
The route is a curated mix of history, nature, and beach. Recommended stops include the charming local town of Caño de Loro, a glimpse into authentic coastal life that most tourists never see, and the historic Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica, a well-preserved colonial fort with sweeping views and a fascinating backstory. The day wraps up with lunch and beach time at Blue Apple Beach Club, one of the most well-regarded beach clubs on the island with great food, calm water, and a relaxed atmosphere. Lunch is not included in the base price but available to order there.
The itinerary is flexible and the Botegena team will help shape the stops around what your group wants most out of the day.
Snorkel gear, drinks, decorations, a photographer, and catering are all available as add-ons at checkout.
