Cartagena never ceases to amaze. The walled city, recognized worldwide for its history, colonial architecture, and vibrant cultural life, now adds an experience that promises to revolutionize luxury tourism in the Colombian Caribbean: helicopter Tours, a proposal that invites visitors to discover the city from the sky.
Since mid-August, travelers have been able to board a helicopter that takes off from a helipad installed on a yacht anchored in the bay. In just a few minutes, passengers soar over the walled city, La Popa, Bocagrande, the Rosario Islands, Baru, and Tierra Bomba. A short ride, yes, but packed with excitement.
What does the helicopter tour in Cartagena include?
This luxury experience goes far beyond the flight itself. For about US$95 per person, tourists enjoy a full-day package that begins on the Helicopter Tours yacht, located at the La Bodeguita pier. The plan includes an open bar, a cultural show highlighting regional traditions, a buffet lunch with local dishes, and a lively DJ-led party that runs until 3 in the afternoon. The combination is explosive: luxury, local flavor, music, and an unforgettable aerial journey.
It is worth noting that experiences like this were previously reserved for destinations such as Dubai or Monaco. Even in Colombia, a similar proposal existed only at the Piedra del Peñol in Guatape. With the arrival of Helicopter Tours, Cartagena now stands on par with the world’s major luxury destinations, offering an exclusive product at a competitive price compared to international options.
In the framework of this initiative and its expansion, it was also announced that floating helipads will soon be available in the Rosario Islands and San Bernardo, further expanding the scope of luxury air tourism in the Colombian Caribbean.
The impact, however, is not only for the visitor. Initiatives like this strengthen Cartagena’s image as a luxury destination and diversify its tourism offerings, which are no longer limited to sun, beaches, and historic walls. Now, travelers can take home an aerial postcard of a city that blends modernity and tradition like few others in the region.
Helicopter Tours transforms a simple ride into a 360-degree experience. It’s not just about flying, but about enjoying a full day where culture, gastronomy, music, and the magic of the Caribbean all come together. A proposal that will undoubtedly mark a before and after in the way Cartagena is experienced.
