Mangata Ocean Club – Rosario Islands Beach Club Cartagena

Is Mangata Beach Club the best beach club in the Rosario Islands for snorkeling?

Mangata Beach Club Cartagena is one of the few beach clubs in the Rosario Islands that includes a guided snorkeling activity outside the island area as part of the standard day pass — not as a paid extra. If snorkeling is a priority, this is one of your strongest options alongside Pao Pao Beach Club, which also has excellent reef access in a more nature-focused setting.

What activities are included at Mangata Beach Club?

Mangata Beach Club includes more activities than almost any other Rosario Islands day pass: snorkeling outside the island area, kayaks, paddleboards, a bike ride around Isla Grande, and a panoramic Rosario Islands boat tour — all included in the base day pass price alongside lunch and beach club access.

Where does the boat depart from?

Mangata Beach Club Cartagena departs from Marina Todomar in Bocagrande — not from La Bodeguita Pier like most other Rosario Islands experiences. This is a more convenient starting point for guests staying in Bocagrande, El Laguito, or nearby hotels. Plan your morning accordingly and confirm your hotel's distance to Marina Todomar before booking.

Is Mangata a party beach club?

Not exactly. Mangata Beach Club has a resident DJ every day and a social atmosphere, but it's more refined than a full party club. Think active, social, and music-forward — without the chaotic energy of a pure party island. If you want the full party experience, Bora Bora Beach Club (adults only) is the right choice.

Is Mangata Beach Club good for couples?

Yes — the combination of activities, music, panoramic views, and a welcome glass of champagne makes Mangata Beach Club Cartagena a strong choice for couples who want more than just a beach day. For a more intimate, private couple's experience, Coralina Island is worth comparing.

What's the National Park tax and how do I pay it?

The Rosario Islands National Park entrance tax is a mandatory government fee paid in cash at the marina before boarding. It is not included in the day pass price. Bring cash — no card payment is available at the marina. The exact amount may vary; contact us for the current 2025–2026 rate.

What's the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 72 hours before departure. No refund within 72 hours. If the tour is cancelled due to unsafe sea conditions, you receive a full refund or the option to reschedule at no charge.
