Playa Blanca Day Trip

Cartagena's best beaches are located on Baru Island: spend a day in Caribbean paradise on this trip to Playa Blanca!

Playa Blanca Day Trip

At the scheduled time, pickup will be from your hotel or chosen meeting point in Cartagena de Indias to head to Baru Island, home to Playa Blanca.

The journey includes a panoramic tour along the coast of Cartagena de Indias, showcasing the city's bay and its coastal neighborhoods.

After crossing a bridge opened in 2014, we will reach Baru Island, historically considered an island due to a wide 16th-century canal separating it from the surrounding region.

Upon arrival at Playa Blanca, you will have 4 hours of free time to enjoy the beach, including sunbathing, swimming, and strolling on the sandy shores. A typical midday lunch featuring coconut rice, patacones, salad, and fried fish (or chicken) will be served at a local restaurant. Following lunch, you may relax by the sea or explore Playa Blanca for an additional hour.

The excursion concludes with a return to the starting point in Cartagena, lasting a total of 7 hours.
