The Party Tour option begins with its first stop at a lively beach club on Baru Playa Blanca or Grande Island. Please note that the Party Tour has a high-energy, crowded, and vendor-heavy atmosphere that are not for family-friendly tours.

Finally, VIP guests enjoy a premium finish, spending their last stop at an exclusive island resort after a day of personalized attention and laid-back travel aboard a comfort speedboat.

NOTES: A port tax must be paid by each person at the pier on day of activity. Be prepared if there's a rainy forecast. Swim attire is mandatory. Eco & Party tickets travel on SHUTTLE BOATS, while VIP tickets on COMFORT SPEEDBOATS. The Party tour DOES NOT do snorkel. Public islands like Cholon and Baru are public, loud, and crowded with vendors — choose the Party option carefully. We reserve the right to modify itinerary due to weather. We do not provide pickups or drop offs.
By booking, you agree to our T&Cs (found on our website). You confirm you have travel insurance and fully release the company from all liability for accidents, injuries, or medical costs. Guests must independently arrange transit to the meeting point and assume sole responsibility for their physical state, belongings, alcohol consumption, situational awareness, and conduct—accepting full financial liability for any damages. Swimming and snorkeling are strictly optional and must only be done by capable swimmers; by entering the water, you confirm you possess the necessary skills, understand open-water risks, and assume responsibility. Speedboat rides can be bumpy due to open sea conditions, making them unsuitable for infants, pregnant women, or those with tension or mobility issues; participation is at your own risk. The company is not liable for the actions of other participants or third parties. Engaging with third-party vendors violates safety protocols, causing immediate forfeiture of all further service.
