The Isla del Sol day trip with Tangol Tours was just awesome! The booking was super easy and the guides were super friendly. The boat ride to Rosario Islands was beautiful and the clear turquoise water blew my mind. Chilling on the beach, delicious lunch, and snorkeling made it unforgettable. I met cool people and really felt like I was in paradise. Highly recommend this if you’re in Cartagena and want a perfect island escape!
