About this activity
Your tour from Santa Marta begins with the approximate 1-hour drive to Tayrona National Natural Park with your guide. One of Colombia’s most popular national parks, Tayrona is spread across 7,410 acres (3,000 hectares) of sea and 29,650 acres (12,000 hectares) of land in the rainforest-clad foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Start exploring the park in a panoramic tour in the vehicle until get to the 7 waves beach, a natural balcony from where you'll see the magnificence of the sea. After taking some pictures and enjoy the beautiful landscape you will arrive Neguanje Beach where you will board a typical fisherman´s boat toward Crystal Beach. After a 20-minute ride, arrive to the beautiful beach which offers soft white sand and great snorkeling opportunities. Put on a snorkel and mask (own expense), and jump in the turquoise water to start searching for local marine life like dolphins, turtles and crustaceans. If you’re not lucky enough to spot one of these underwater favorites, you’ll still see some of the 200+ species of sponge that live among the coral reef. Take a break from snorkeling to enjoy lunch near the beach (own expense).
After snorkeling, relax for a bit on the beach before being returned to Santa Marta.
