Sunset Cruise

It would be a shame to be on the Caribbean coast and not take a boat ride out to sea. One of the best ways to enjoy a bit of naval activity and get ready for a fun night ahead is to take a romantic boat trip at sunset. The trips usually depart around 4:30 pm and give you a couple of hours under the sails. Enjoy magnificent views of the city skyline, with plenty of time to take photos in the golden hour, enjoy the snacks and drinks on offer, or just sit back and watch the sun dive into the Caribbean waters.

Do & See

There is a great deal of things to do in Cartagena, even if simply taking a stroll through the city's beautifully preserved Old Town with a distinct colonial flare. Some of the highlights include an obligatory visit to the imposing Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, a walk along Cartagena's defensive ramparts, a trip to the chilling Inquisition Palace (which still contains the original torture devices used to extract "confessions"), and a deep dive into the incredibly hip neighbourhood of Getsemani, teeming with eateries and bars where locals mix and mingle with guests from far and wide.
