Duration: 8 hours (approx.)

My name is Luis, I am an Economist and worked as a consultant for more than 20 years. One day, I decided to trade the office for my true passion : sailing and enjoying nature, especially the sea. I have been sailing since I was 10 days old, a passion I inherited from my family, and I love sharing my knowledge of the sea and navigation with those who join me on board. Since moving to Colombia with my family, I have had the chance to discover Tayrona National Park from a perspective few people know : from the sea. It’s a unique experience we want to share with you. We are bilingual (Spanish and English) and love to chat, share local stories, and create unforgettable memories. We will take you to live a truly unforgettable day. The experience is led by myself, Luis, or one of my team members.
