Tierra Bomba Beach Clubs & Island Day Passes

Tierra Bomba is a Caribbean island located just off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia. The boat ride from Cartagena to Tierra Bomba takes 15 to 25 minutes depending on the departure point and sea conditions — making it the most accessible island day trip from the city. Unlike the Rosario Islands, there is no national park entry fee, no mandatory cash payment on arrival, and no fixed shared tour schedule. You book a day pass at the beach club of your choice, and a boat collects you from a central Cartagena pier at your preferred departure time.

As of 2026, Tierra Bomba beach club day passes range from $49 to $79 per person. Most include round-trip boat transfer from Cartagena, beach bed or sun lounger, access to pool and beach facilities, and food and drinks available for purchase. Some include a set lunch or open bar — each product page lists exact inclusions. The island has eight distinct beach clubs, each with a different atmosphere, price point, and guest profile.

The boat from Cartagena to Tierra Bomba departs from the Muelle de la Bodeguita or nearby central piers, depending on the beach club. Travel time is 15 to 25 minutes by speedboat. When you book a day pass through Cartagena Day Tours, boat transportation is coordinated as part of the experience — departure times, pier location, and return schedule are confirmed in your booking details. No need to arrange transfers separately.

Most Tierra Bomba beach clubs offer morning departures between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM, with return boats in the afternoon between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Kabanna is the exception, with extended hours until 11 PM. Exact times vary by club and are listed on each product page.

Most Tierra Bomba day passes include round-trip boat transfer from Cartagena, beach bed or sun lounger, access to pool and beach facilities, and food and beverages available for purchase.

This is the most popular upgrade for bachelorette trips, anniversary celebrations, and corporate groups visiting Tierra Bomba. The 20-minute private boat ride to Tierra Bomba is also one of the most affordable private boat experiences available from Cartagena.
