Starting Point and Transportation

The adventure begins at Muelle de la Bodeguita – Puerta 3, where you’ll meet your guide and fellow travelers around 7:30 am. The journey to the Rosario Islands is by speedboat, a 45-minute ride that whips you across the Caribbean waves. This quick trip is quite scenic, and you’ll get a taste of the ocean before arriving at the island paradise.

The boat ride is generally smooth, but keep in mind that seas can get choppy, especially if the weather isn’t perfect. Some reviews mention getting a bit wet on the return trip, which adds to the fun but might be a consideration for those prone to seasickness or who prefer a drier ride.

Arrival at the Beach Club

Once ashore, you’re greeted with a welcome cocktail—a refreshing start—and an atmosphere filled with good vibes. The club is set up with beach beds and sun loungers, on a first-come, first-served basis, although you can reserve a front-row oceanfront bed for an extra 80,000 pesos. This upgrade is ideal if you want to maximize your views and relaxation, with a maximum of three people per reserved bed.

The facilities are well-maintained, and the staff’s attentiveness contributes to a feeling of being cared for, whether it’s helping you find a lounger or bringing drinks and snacks.

The Food and Drinks

One of the tour’s highlights is the lunch menu—you get six options, from local Mojarra (a type of fish) to pasta marinara, grilled chicken, Poke bowls, and Pesto pasta with broccoli. Reviewers rave about the delicious food, with Maria De Jesus praising it as “amazing.” The variety means you can pick something familiar or adventurous, and the quality will likely satisfy.

Drinks are readily available throughout the day, and the lively atmosphere often leads to dancing and socializing, making your meal more of a fun experience rather than just a routine lunch.

The Atmosphere and Activities

From the moment you arrive, the music sets the tone—loud and upbeat, creating a party atmosphere that encourages dancing, chatting, and relaxing. Some reviews mention that the music can be a bit too loud for those seeking quiet, but if you’re in the mood for a vibrant celebration of life, you’ll love it.

The facilities and beach beds create a comfortable environment for lounging, and there’s plenty of space to float in the sea or enjoy the scenery. While snorkeling isn’t included, the surrounding waters may invite gentle swims, and some might find the rocky shoreline a bit tricky—so water shoes are recommended.

Departure and Return

The tour wraps up around 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm, and you’ll board the speedboat back to Muelle de la Bodeguita. The ride back offers a different perspective of the islands and ocean, often with some getting a bit wetter on the return—adding to the sense of fun.

Authentic Perspectives from Travelers

Maria De Jesus sums it up: “The food was amazing and it was a relaxing beach day. I would redo this trip again,” emphasizing the quality of the meal and the relaxing environment. Wendy highlights the lively vibe, mentioning that “you will get wet on the trip back,” which for many adds to the adventure. Aleyna appreciated that “everything was perfect, but the music was always very loud,” confirming that the lively party atmosphere might not suit everyone.

Others like Andrea advise arriving early, “definitely show up at the time the tour suggests, maybe even earlier,” to secure a good spot and avoid missing out on the best area for lounging and dining.

What We Love and What to Consider

We love the variety of food choices and the friendly, attentive staff, making the day comfortable and enjoyable. The opportunity to reserve oceanfront beds offers a touch of luxury for those willing to spend extra. The vibrant music and party atmosphere make it a lively spot, perfect for groups wanting fun and socialization.

However, a few considerations include the cost of extras like the pier tax and first-row beds, which can add up, and the loud music, which may not appeal to everyone looking for tranquility. The rocky beach and lack of snorkeling options might be a letdown for nature lovers hoping for underwater adventures.

Who Would Enjoy This Tour Most?

This trip is ideal for young couples, groups of friends, or anyone eager for a lively, fun day in a beautiful setting.

On the other hand, if you’re seeking a peaceful, quiet beach retreat or a snorkel-centered adventure, you might want to explore other options in the Rosario Islands. The tour’s party vibe isn’t for everyone, but if you’re ready to live it up Caribbean style, this is a solid choice.
