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

We will pick you up from your hotel or chosen meeting point in Cartagena de Indias and head to Baru Island, where Playa Blanca is located.

On the way, we'll take a panoramic tour along the coast of Cartagena de Indias, appreciating the scenery of the city's bay and visiting different neighborhoods along the coastline.

After crossing a bridge opened in 2014, we'll reach the island of Baru, considered an island due to a wide canal built in the 16th century.

We will travel through Baru to Playa Blanca, where you'll have 4 hours of free time to enjoy the beach. You can lie on the sand, swim in the Caribbean waters, or stroll along the sea.

At midday, we will have a typical lunch of coconut rice, patacones, salad, and fried fish (or chicken) at a local restaurant. After lunch, you can relax by the sea or explore Playa Blanca for an hour.

This 7-hour excursion will conclude with a return to the starting point in Cartagena.
