Your day begins with the meeting at the first pier next to Fort San Sebastián de Pastelillo, right on the Manga pedestrian promenade, in front of the emblematic Punta Madero building. It is recommended to arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled departure to ensure a timely start to the adventure.
Around 10:00 a.m., you will receive basic preparation and instructions from our expert kayaking guides, who will provide you with all the necessary information for a safe and pleasant navigation. From this point, you'll begin your journey, paddling through the calm waters of Cartagena Bay.
You'll sail through the Bay of Las Ánimas, where you'll enjoy stunning views of the Clock Tower, the Pegasos Pier, and the Convention Center. This tour is not only visually stunning, but it also connects you with the historical essence of Cartagena.
You'll continue towards the iconic Puente Román, a stone bridge that links the walled city to the mainland. Then, you'll enter the beautiful San Lázaro Lagoon, an oasis of tranquility surrounded by lush vegetation and wildlife. Here, the mangroves will envelop you in their serenity, while the melodious singing of the birds accompanies you with each paddle.
Your adventure will culminate on Bird Island, where you will be able to observe a variety of birds that inhabit this mangrove island. The natural environment will allow you to appreciate the biodiversity that surrounds Cartagena, making this experience a delight for the senses.
