All vacations aren’t created equal and trips to Cartagena are no exception. Especially when it comes to stag parties.
Bachelor parties and guys’ trips require different type of Cartagena tours and we’re here to recommend the best.
Cartagena tours where there is a blend of culture, excitement and truth be told, not too demanding. Because let’s face it, bachelor parties in Cartagena take place in the evenings.
So without too much filler, let’s break down the top 3 Cartagena tours for stag parties.
Cartagena Island Hopping Excursion
No trip to Cartagena is complete without an island hopping excursion. Its a day trip like no other as it requires a few moving pieces (no pun intended) in order to execute properly.
First you begin with the type of boat you’d like for the event.
- Speedboat – Perfect for small groups looking to cover a lot more in less time and don’t want to break the bank. The sea can be a bit harsh but you’ll finish the tour in less time. Up to about 20 guests depending on the speedboat.
- Yacht– Ideal for groups who prioritize luxury and comfort. On average a yacht can have 1-4 cabins, multiple bathrooms and even a flybridge. You’ll also show up to the party islands in style. Up to about 30 guests depending on the yacht and budget.
- Catamaran – Not as fast as its predecessors but perfect for bigger groups who care more about the journey than the destination. Catamarans fit 25+ guests, have a few different lounge areas, living rooms, cabins and are a bang for your buck.
Once you pick a type of ship, you then get to put together items that will accompany you on your journey.
Whether this is catered meal (food out on the islands is unnecessarily expensive) and drinks. Or a dj and entertainment, these are the moving parts that will be well worth it in the end.
After you have the ship and other items secure, you will then tell your host to recommend the right route. A route where you can see a decent amount of islands in a 5-6 hour time period.
Cartagena tours will require on average 3-4 hours total but this is the only one that is an all day event. We recommend you begin at 9am and you’ll be home by 6pm. Likely tired but push through it, it’s worth it.
Cartagena Tobacco and Rum Tasting
After an all day event like the island hopping excursion, we recommend taking it easy.
A Cartagena tobacco and rum tasting is a daytime event (early afternoon) where you become immersed in Caribbean culture.
With dozens of rums and types of cigars to choose from, here you’ll get a crash course in all things rum and tobacco. Not a smoker? Don’t worry, swap out tobacco for chocolate, no problem.
On this tour you won’t need too much walking or energy. All you need is 3 hours and plenty of hydration.
You will sample rums from all over Colombia and the Caribbean, as well as Cigars from Dominican republic, Nicaragua and Cuba.
ATVs in Cartagena
A bachelor party in Cartagena needs Cartagena tours that combine culture, adventure and beach life.
We’ve covered beach life and culture. Last but not least we recommend ATVs in Cartagena.
In this tour you’ll take a dive in Playa de Oro, check out majestic cliffs and sip pack delicious coconut lemonade.
This is Cartagena’s best and most exciting daytime excursion. You’ll sit behind a powerful quad and explore the exotic beaches of manzanillo del mar.
Take pictures of majestic cliffs, rock formations and relieve stress on this much needed excursion. After this we recommend trying some of our delicious ceviches and fried fish right on the beach.
Selecting the Perfect Cartagena Tour
Cartagena tours will give your bachelor party something to do during the day while you experience the city’s culture.
It will also give you a chance to disconnect, try delicious foods and see how locals live.
If you’re only here for 3 days, 3 excursions might be a lot to cram in, but some of these Cartagena tours only require a few hours to complete. We also don’t recommend these tours early in the morning, as we know how difficult it is to get 6+ guys to commit to get up on time.
9am is the right time for the island hopping excursion, 10-11am for the ATVs and early afternoon for the rum and tobacco.
