The Island Loop by Golf Cart

9 hoursMax 4EasyFamily friendly

Before you book this one

A driving licence is required and carts are not permitted on some stretches. Colombian traffic rules apply, the island road has no hard shoulder, and mopeds in particular account for most visitor injuries here. We recommend the cart over a moped for exactly that reason.

San Andrés is thirty kilometres around, and the classic way to see it is a rented golf cart and a full day of stopping wherever looks good. We give you a route, the stops that matter, and a phone number.

What you do

  • The full circuit: San Luis, Rocky Cay, the blowhole, West View
  • Morgan’s Cave and the Big Pond caimans
  • La Loma and the First Baptist Church
  • Stop where you like, for as long as you like

As a private booking

A driver-guide instead of self-drive, so nobody is navigating, and lunch booked at San Luis.

Practical notes for San Andrés

  • You need a tourist card to fly here. Every visitor buys a Tarjeta de Turismo at the departure airport before boarding — Colombians included. Keep it; you need it to leave. Budget roughly US$30 and confirm the current price when you book.
  • This is Raizal land. The islands have their own Afro-Caribbean Raizal people, language and Baptist church tradition, distinct from mainland Colombia. Residency is legally restricted to protect it. Learn the difference — it is the most interesting thing about the place.
