Barú Island lies close to Cartagena de Indias and brings together light-sand beaches, clubs with pools, mangroves and nature spots. It is a destination made for a day trip that gets you back to the city without logistical headaches. Recreaciones La Cariñosa, a licensed operator (RNT 106438) with over 20 years of experience, puts together plans for different tastes, from travelers who only want to unwind to those who prefer to be a bit more active.

For a relaxed beach day we offer options like Nena Beach, Gerónimo Beach or Shekina Club. If you want to add some nature, Tour Mágico and Aviario mix outings with beach time. And if you would like to blend the archipelago with the island, there is a plan such as Rosario Islands + Playa Tranquila. Each tour has its own page with what is included, where to meet and the schedule, and we confirm them when you book.

Rosario Islands + Playa Tranquila: Sail the Rosario Islands to the calm shores of Playa Tranquila.
Mambo Beach: Transport, a welcome drink and lunch for a worry-free day on Barú Island

What the Barú day trips include

Barú Island plans vary quite a bit from one to the next. Depending on the tour you may find transport, a welcome drink, lunch or a lunch voucher, loungers or beach beds, a pool, showers, snorkeling or mangrove outings. Some items may fall outside the plan, which is why each tour page lists what is and is not covered. If you have questions about a specific plan, message us on WhatsApp before booking and we will answer with up-to-date information.

Beach, nature or both: how to choose

If you want a lazy day, a beach club is your best bet: think of plans like Nena Beach or Shekina Club. If you want to move around a little, Tour Mágico adds nature to your beach day. If you enjoy birdlife, look at Aviario. And to sample two settings in one outing, some plans combine more than one beach, such as Dúo Perfecto. Schedules and meeting points change from plan to plan, and pickup depends on the tour and the area; we confirm it when you book.
