What to expect

Discover Tayrona from the sea in a group of maximum 10 people, with an expert local apnea crew that knows where the marine life is. We meet at 9:30 am at the International Marina of Santa Marta and set sail at 10:00 am in our boat, La Tranquila. Stop 1 - El Remanso: 10 minutes of sailing, with about 40 minutes of snorkeling. Stop 2 - Granate: one of the best snorkeling spots in the park, where it is frequent to see sea turtles and reef fish. Stop 3 - Bahía Concha: the widest bay of Tayrona. Here we have lunch and spend the afternoon: swimming, walking, more snorkeling, or sunbathing. Go to the beach with a towel, sunscreen, and effective. We return to the marina around 4:30 pm. Marine life is wild and cannot be guaranteed, but these reefs are among the richest in the area. Boat without shade and sometimes choppy journey: bring water-resistant sunscreen, a hat, and a change of clothes. We request the name and document number of each traveler for entry to the marina, the insurance, and the departure. There is no need to bring the physical document. Tayrona Park Closure: from October 19 to November 2 the tour is done to local beaches.
