Island Hopping in the Islas Rosario Archipelago

Just off the coast of Cartagena, there is an island chain called Islas Rosarios with over 27 islands of different sizes. Some are private, others have resorts while still others are accessible to the public. The waters are what you expect from a Caribbean island: crystal blue and warm. There are many excursions that go to different islands and you will be harrassed by street vendors trying to send you a package that includes the boat ride, a tour of one or two islands and lunch which is always the same: fish or chicken with coconut rise , a salad and plantains. Be careful of the street vendors. They sell you one thing and it turns out to be something else. My recommendation would be to hire a private "lancha" or high speed vote. I've used Nelson Sanchez before and he offers a very affordable and reliable service. He can be contacted at: +57 321-708-5585.
Quiet beach with crystal blue waters accessible by private boat. Be careful who you book with. I recommend contacting Nelson Sanchez to provide private tour in "lancha" (high speed boat) for up to 6 people. He can take you to any of the Islas Rosario archipelago (Cocoliso, Bora Bora, Baru, Cholon, etc.) Cost to rent the boat that fits 6 is COP 1.2 million pesos or approximately $350.00. Drinking and eating on the boat is permitted. Nelson can buy whatever you ask but you will have to reimburse him for the items requested.
