We recommend renting a boat at Todomar Marina or Go Cartagena (Instagram @gocartagena). It's suggested to leave early (8:30 a.m. – 9 a.m.), and it's best to return before 3 p.m. You can ask your pilot to take you around Barú and then the houses in the Rosario Islands. We DO NOT recommend stopping at Cholón Island or eating there. Instead, we recommend stopping at the following places where you can enjoy the sea and have lunch: - Fragata Island House - Isla Bela Another recommendation is the day pass at the Cala Blanca hotel in Barú. If you'd like to sleep on the islands, here are some hotel recommendations: - Hotel Cala Blanca - Hotel Las Islas - Barú - You can rent a house on Airbnb.
