Traveler reviews
You have almost 3 hours ...
You have almost 3 hours in the aviary. So its possible to see the bird show The included food is good. Isla baru beach is very crowded
Amazing Aviary, Beach was fine
The aviary was so cool and it was so much fun to see all the different types of birds up close. Once we went to Baru, our lunch took a very long time, there were a lot of pushy vendors while we were trying to eat, and it didn't leave a whole lot of time for enjoying the beach. I do think that the bus/timing was well organized as much as the tour company could control, and when I asked for help with the lunch and the vendors, our guide did his best to support and help. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but the beach experience wasn't ideal.
Lack of organization
We felt that they were not very well organized, there was confusion in pickup, wasteful waiting time in the aviary both to wait for the show and for pickup. The private club doesn't meet expectations. On the way back we had to wait in the white beach parking lot under the sun and without water for 1 hour why the bus had allegedly “spoiled”. Mike, our guide, who until that moment had been charming, instead of coming forward, disappeared completely. The icing on the cake was that, arriving in Cartagena the angry driver (the guide had already got off the bus) started yelling at us to get off the bus, telling him that he was not leaving us at the stipulated point told us that he could not go on to the point indicated why there were traffic restrictions, he left us lying on a 5-lane road without zebra crossings 20 minutes from the point where he supposedly should have left us. Very regular food.
Aviary is incredible. Excellent tour, well worth it
Fantastic experience! The aviary was a once in a lifetime kind of experience. The variety of birds is spectacular, beautiful natural environment, a must see. Baru is beautiful as always, crowded on a Sunday but part of the deal. The guide was very well organized, friendly, professional. They take very good care of you, Sergio was awesome. Bus was comfortable with good AC. You do need to pay extra to get the loungers close to the beach at Club Mambo but it was worth it. Food was very good. All in all a terrific experience for the cost and well worth it.
Good option.
Excellent service. I liked it a lot.
