Trade the crowded public-beach day for a 16-bay panoramic sail along Santa Marta's coastline aboard the Catamarán Tayrona, ending at a private beach club few visitors ever reach — with the option to add a marine rescue centre visit.

Board at Muelle Norte del Rodadero at 10:30 am. After a quick safety briefing, the catamaran sets off with a welcome cocktail in hand. From the deck, you'll sail past 16 of the most beautiful bays on the Santa Marta coastline — a stretch most standard tours only sample. The local crew shares the stories behind each cove as you pass.

The route ends at Palmata Inca Inca Beach Club, a private disembarkation point reserved for catamaran guests. Here the day slows down: swim in calm Caribbean water, then choose between guided snorkelling or kayaking at Inca Inca Beach. Equipment and a certified instructor are included for both, so first-timers are welcome. A typical Colombian lunch and a drink are served at the beach club.
