“It was a great experience seeing the sunset from the deck of a pirate ship”
Join local hosts for a six-hour night through Cartagena and Getsemaní. Expect ice-breaker games, Salsa or Champeta instruction, free shots, live music, and several clubs. Camila, Marbeluz, Hugo, and other guides keep the group together. The mood is young, social, and alcohol-heavy.
“Very friendly people, recommended to get to know friends”

“Amazing time on the party bus. We learned popular dances and the guide was very nice.”
Meet at La Bodeguita Dock Door 4 for a two-hour sunset cruise aboard the Bequia. Sip rum or brandy with mixers, watch Cartagena’s dance show, join a class, and see Manga and Bocagrande from the bay. Bring 12,000 Colombian pesos for the dock tax.
“necesito mi reembolso estuve ahi a las 5 y no habia nadie que explicara que embarcación tomaría, a pesar que dijeron puerta 4 no habia nada alli, tuve que buscar otro bote para no perder la experiencia”
At 4:30 pm, meet at Sibarita del Mar in Cartagena’s Centro Histórico for a two-hour sunset cruise. Choose a lively speedboat with rum, aguardiente, mixers, and Latin music, or a steadier catamaran with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks plus a light snack. The boats return to the meeting point.
“Sadly, I Don’t know how the tour was because the company never reached back out to inform me the pick up location.”
Start at Microcerveceria by Bruder for craft beer or local liquor, stop at El Mono Bandido for a cocktail, then finish at Federal Rooftop in Zona T. Guides such as Lina and Stephanie lead small groups of up to 10, with nonalcoholic drinks available.
“So I was unable to do the Pub Crawl due to the curfew Colombia currently has but the host was able to get me to join a craft beer tour instead. I couldn’t be happier with the switch of events as the beer followed with a round of Tejo was EPIC! The host was amazing, literally, couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
Meet Miss Tatiana at Pegasus Pier for a two-hour Cartagena Bay party boat ride with a safety briefing, music, an entertainer, rum-based drinks, sunset views, and a nightclub ticket. Guides speak English and Spanish, though some guests report the live commentary may be mainly in Spanish.
“The tour was alright. It says it is in English, but it was all in Spanish which was misleading. The only drinks offered are rum and coke or rum and orange.”
Meet Ana and the Tours Bar Cali team at 7 p.m. for a three-hour night through San Antonio, Calle de la Salsa, and Barrio Obrero. You’ll visit three salsa bars, enjoy a welcome shot, receive drink discounts, learn steps, and travel by vehicle between the second and third stops.
“This was so fun and I’m in love with this city and it’s culture. We had two amazing and beautiful hosts, that showed us the time of our lives. Thank you for so an amazing night and experience”
Leave Cartagena by express speedboat for Islabela in the Rosario Islands. You’ll get a welcome cocktail, a choice of fried fish, grilled chicken, or vegetarian pasta, plus beach facilities and kayaks. Spanish-speaking staff host the day, with yoga on weekends and holidays.
“Really good but I wish that I could have chosen my seat. I ended up on a bed that really bothered my back and was in the shade the whole time. I would have preferred a different seat, but when I asked I was told those were for groups of two. I wish I hadn’t been punished for traveling alone.”
Start at Mau HiPinto at 8 p.m. with drinking games and an international group, then enter Bogotá’s huge Theatron complex at 9:30 p.m. Guides such as Mao and Maria lead you through 20 music rooms, with optional drink packages and an afterparty until 5 a.m.
“Amazing!!! Absolutely great hostel and an amazing social experience. Highly recommend to anyone in bogota who wants a good time”
Start at La Colina with Ana or Laura, then walk through Cali’s Flavor Street and finish in Barrio Obrero. This three-hour Spanish-language crawl includes three salsa bars, a brandy shot, reserved space, transport between later stops, and local dancing, but drinks and the final entry fee cost extra.
“The perfect way to start my salsa adventure in Cali. Anna guided the tour with so much warmth, pride, and love for both her city and salsa. She showed us hidden spots I would never have found on my own, surrounded by locals enjoying their evening, music, and dancing. Because I speak English, she even arranged some help with translation, which made everything very easy and welcoming. I’ve been to Colombia three times, but this was my first time in Cali. I can already say: next time, Cali is definitely on my list again. Highly recommended if you want to experience the real Cali through someone who truly loves the…”
Meet Aeroturex at Punto de Encuentro in El Poblado for a three-hour Medellín party bus ride with a live DJ, unlimited beer, crossover music, and photo stops near Puente de la 4 Sur, Calle 70, and Milla de Oro. Guides including Eugene, Isa, and Yuda help keep the dancing going.
“The tour was amazing. I had no intentions of dancing but Eugene got me on my feet and out of my shell. She was a great guide.”
Spend about 7.5 hours traveling from Cartagena to Cholon by coach and speedboat, with music, pool access, lunch, and two included drinks. You can choose chicken, fish, or a vegetarian meal. Host Melanie has received praise for her timing and friendly welcome, but the boat may not suit anyone expecting a dance floor.
“Not exactly a party boat, there was little interaction from the staff but the playlist was good. You can’t stand up and dance at all. You get food at Cholon, which was good but the two drinks are a local drink, you don’t get to choose them. It’s very expensive for what you get, personally.”
A deck, a crawl, a long lunch or a door with a list.
