Is Palmarito Beach a hotel or a beach club?
Palmarito Beach Hotel Tierra Bomba Colombia is both — it operates as a hotel with overnight accommodation and as a beach club with a day pass experience. The experience we sell through Cartagena Day Tours is the day pass (pasadía): you arrive in the morning, enjoy the full beach club facilities all day, and return to Cartagena in the afternoon. If you're interested in overnight stays at Palmarito Beach Hotel, contact us and we'll point you in the right direction.
Is there a dock fee or National Park fee at Palmarito?
No — and this is one of Palmarito Beach's biggest practical advantages. Unlike the Rosario Islands experiences (which require COP 31,500 National Park fee + COP 8,800 maritime insurance, all in cash), playa Palmarito on Tierra Bomba is not inside the National Natural Park. No cash fees at the pier — what you book is what you pay, nothing extra on arrival.
What's the difference between DayTour Pass and DayTour VIP?
Both plans include round-trip speedboat, welcome drink, pool, beach, kayaks, paddleboards, bodyboards, hammocks, and loungers. The difference is the food and extras: DayTour Pass includes a fixed Caribbean lunch + non-alcoholic beverage — great for families. DayTour VIP replaces the fixed lunch with a COP 100,000 (~USD 24) consumable voucher you can spend on anything — food, cocktails, or both — plus hookah service and towels. VIP is also adults-only (ages 12+).
How far is Palmarito Beach from Cartagena?
Palmarito Beach is on Tierra Bomba Island — just 10 minutes by speedboat from the meeting point in Castillogrande (behind Hospital Bocagrande). This makes it the closest quality beach club experience to Cartagena, significantly faster than the Rosario Islands (45–60 min each way). More time on the beach, less time on the boat.
Is Palmarito Beach good for families with young children?
Yes — Palmarito Beach is one of the most family-friendly options near Cartagena. The DayTour Pass has dedicated children's pricing (ages 4–10 reduced · infants 0–3 free), a calm family atmosphere, freshwater pool, and short boat ride that works well with young kids. The 10-minute crossing is much easier to manage with children than the 45–60 minute Rosario Islands ride.
What does the COP 100,000 VIP voucher cover?
The consumable voucher at Palmarito Beach VIP is fully flexible — you can spend it on food, cocktails, beers, or any combination you want from the island's menu. Think of it as credit to use however you like during the day. It's one of the most flexible food-and-drink inclusions at any Tierra Bomba beach club.
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.

Antoni's tip — your Cartagena insider
Arrive before 9:00 AM if you want the first boat out and the best spots on the beach — departures are first-come, first-served. The VIP voucher (COP 100,000 / ~USD 24) is genuinely flexible: use it all on cocktails, all on food, or split it however you want. And the 10-minute crossing is a real advantage if you're traveling with kids or just don't want to spend 2 hours on a boat round-trip.
