Your bilingual concierge will pick you and your crew up from your hotel in a modern air conditioned vehicle, whisk you all off to your sailboat where your personalized island itinerary for family or friends kicks off in true Caribbean style.
What’s even better is your fun day in the Rosario Islands helps support ecosystem restoration in Cartagena with a contribution from your sailboat rental paid to a foundation working on a much-needed coral restoration project in the Rosario Islands and mangroves planting scheme to the south of Cartagena.
Mangroves and coral reefs are essential ecosystems for preserving Colombia’s rich biodiversity. Mangroves capture four times the amount of carbon as forests on land so your donation will help fight the destruction of local ecosystems and offset the carbon generated by your day on the water.
It also puts money into the pockets of people that really need it. Good for you, good for Cartagena!
