San Andrés, Colombia, is the sea of seven colors: white sands, calm reefs, and local "raizal" cuisine with a coconut flavor. In two days, you can combine a trip to Johnny Cay and The Aquarium, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and take walks along the boardwalk at sunset. The island is easy to get around in a golf cart, so moving between stops is simple.

Spratt Bight and the boardwalk

A wide, calm beach, perfect for your first dip; walk along the boardwalk at sunset and try the delicious "cocadas" (coconut candies).

Johnny Cay + The Aquarium (one day)

Leave early; turquoise water, white sands, and stingrays near The Aquarium. Bring cash and be respectful of the wildlife and coral.

West View and La Piscinita

Snorkel among colorful fish. We recommend: a life vest, water shoes, and your own mask.

Blow Hole

This is a marine geyser that shoots water and air through coral tunnels. Go during mid or high tide with some wind; keep your distance from the hole and put your phone away. There are nearby kiosks for a cold "cocoloco" (coconut cocktail) or fried snacks.

Quick tips

A tourist card is required; bring cash; use reef-safe sunscreen; the best way to get around is by golf cart; don't touch the starfish or break the coral.
