San Andres tour guide: parasailing, jet skiing, diving and snorkeling

A long list of activities can make planning a trip more difficult than expected. Between tours to San Andres, parasailing, jet skiing, scuba diving, and snorkeling, it's normal not to know what to choose, how much to budget, or what questions to ask before booking. Having this information clear from the start helps you make a decision based on your available time, the level of adventure you want, and how much you plan to spend on the experience.

At Aqualina Inn, we want to help you arrive with those doubts resolved so you know what to expect from each experience and can choose with more confidence.

Parasailing San Andres: the Caribbean seen from the sky

A boat lifts the parachute as the sea lies below your feet. During the ascent, you feel the boat move away and the coastline begins to appear from a different perspective, with the sea stretching out around you and the wind accompanying your descent.

The activity usually lasts about two hours, but that time includes travel, preparation, and waiting. The flight itself lasts approximately 15 minutes and may vary depending on wind conditions.

•  Approximate prices: $230,000–$240,000 COP. Approx. per person.
• Usual location: They are usually held in beach areas and tourist spots, depending on the operator and weather conditions.
• Level: Although you don't need prior experience, you must follow the operator's instructions and be comfortable with the height.
• Information at the hotel: At Aqualina Inn we can guide you on available activities, operators and the location of departure points so you can compare options before booking.

 Afterwards, there's still time for the beach, the boardwalk, or relaxing in our rooms.

Jet ski: speed over the sea

Riding a jet ski feels like an adrenaline rush from the moment you accelerate: the wind in your face, the engine vibrating beneath your hands, and every wave making the jet ski bounce and move with you. It's an intense and fun experience, ideal if you want to explore the coast with more action.

•  Approximate prices: $300,000–$380,000 COP. Approx. Please confirm if the price corresponds to a motorcycle for one or two people.
• Level: Intermediate; requires attention to instructions and vehicle control.
• Usual location: main beaches and authorized areas, especially in sectors such as Spratt Bight and San Luis.

Choose an operator who will explain the route and safety rules. This way, you can focus on driving, enjoy the scenery, and experience the activity with peace of mind.
