Two seas, six dive regions, from relaxed Caribbean reefs to expedition-grade Pacific shark country
Where you stay shapes the trip. Compare the setting, seasons and local transport before choosing your accommodation.
Historic Cartagena, protected Rosario reefs and island days within one trip.
For city travel use authorized taxis or prearranged transport, including from CTG. On Isla Grande, rely on host-arranged boat transfers, local guides and permitted walking routes rather than assuming road taxis or unrestricted docks.
Expedition-only shark diving around a remote Pacific oceanic sanctuary
There is no tourist road, shuttle, beach or hotel transportation on Malpelo. Only the authorized expedition liveaboard and its guided diving tenders operate within this visitor scope.
Local reef and wall dives, Raizal guesthouses, and two islands to explore between water days.
Arrange transfers with the host or a local provider. The municipality lists taxis, motorcycles, motorcycle taxis and small local rental vehicles; its road-outing page also lists bicycles.
Reef walls, a shallow wreck, real apnea training and the Sea of Seven Colors.
Colombia Travel documents Coobusan local buses (including El Cove/Piscinita and San Luis routes), authorized airport taxis and rental cars, scooters or small island buggies. Check rental-driver and insurance requirements, use helmets on motorbikes and avoid driving tired or after alcohol.
Boat-access Caribbean reefs backed by Taganga dive schools and a protected coast with strict seasonal closures.
Urban buses and taxis connect Santa Marta, Taganga and El Rodadero; the local tourist authority recommends authorized marine passenger boarding points. For Zaino and Calabazo, use the current park-approved road approach or suitable local public road transport; Palangana/Neguanje and Bahia Concha require their own arrangements.
Rainforest, reefs and Pacific wildlife, reached by authorized boat.
On Gorgona, visitor mobility is by designated guided trails and approved boats only. Do not hire an informal water taxi or attempt independent Gorgonilla landing.
