Gorgona/Gorgonilla park is a marine protected area off Cauca, Colombia, reached by approved boat only. It is not linked by a public ferry or road. Guapi is the principal mainland gateway for authorized day trips. SATENA publishes Cali-Guapi and Popayan-Guapi air routes. From Guapi the park and older access operator describe a chartered motor-launch crossing of roughly 1 hour 30 minutes, but published sailing days and exact hours conflict, and there is no verified standing public timetable.
Buenaventura is the other vessel gateway. The park mentions travel through Guapi; Colombia Dive Adventures describes expedition embarkation from Buenaventura after a transfer from Cali. A direct day charter from Buenaventura appears in older concession marketing, but is not confirmed as a current routine product.
Only day visits on the island are currently published by the park; multi-night dive trips use onboard accommodation on an authorized vessel. Guapitours published a 2026 Guapi-based day visit; Mascaron de Proa published a 2026 liveaboard offer. Neither past seasonal dates nor legacy concession departure tables establish a current booking or guaranteed departure. Ask the park about capacity before paying and obtain operator confirmation of boat, date, landing and activities. Park rules; SATENA; Guapi day trip; .
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.
