Vanessa VergaraGoogle
“Exactly as described. Fun boats rides, nice beaches, incredible scenery […] nice and helpful employees, incredible boat piloting by the boat captain. […] On the boat ride, you and your stuff WILL get wet, probably soaked, but that's part of the fun.”

How much does a boat tour to Tayrona Park cost?

Our boat tours to Tayrona start at $120,000 COP per person, the Bahía Concha one. The Super Tayrona tour, Cinto Bay and Playa Cristal in one day, is $180,000 and includes boat transport, park insurance and travel insurance.

Can you enter Tayrona Park by sea?

Yes. We leave from the Bay of Santa Marta and arrive directly at the Tayrona beaches by sea, which avoids the long walk overland. It is the fastest and most comfortable way to see Playa Cristal, Cinto, Gairaca and Cabo San Juan.

What time do the tours leave, and where do we meet?

Every departure is at 9:30 a.m. from the Bay of Santa Marta, Calle 22 # 1; please arrive 30 minutes early. Return times are estimates and depend on the sea: around 3:00 p.m. from Playa Cristal, 3:30 p.m. from Cabo San Juan and Super Tayrona, 3:40 p.m. from Gairaca, 4:00 p.m. from Bahía Concha and Wachakyta, and 4:15 p.m. from Cinto Bay.

What is included?

Every tour includes return boat transport and travel insurance. Tayrona Park insurance, which is separate from travel insurance, is included on Cabo San Juan, Super Tayrona, Playa Cristal, Gairaca and Bahía Concha. No tour includes the park entry fee, lunch or drinks.

How do I book?

Build your booking on this site by choosing the tour, the date and how many of you are travelling, and pay a 30% deposit online. The remaining 70% is paid on the day of the tour, in cash or by transfer. If you cancel 24 hours or more in advance, we refund the full deposit or change your booking.

What should I know before travelling?

Each passenger may bring up to 15 kg of luggage; anything over that has a charge by weight. Bring protective covers for your bags, because things get wet on the boat. Children under 5 only pay the park insurance: message us on WhatsApp to book them. Because of the open-sea crossing we do not carry pregnant women or adults over 65; anyone who travels in those conditions does so at their own responsibility. If you have a health condition or disability, let us know so we can check whether we can take you.
