Do you love to go out on adventures when you are traveling? Do you also enjoy getting a little downtime in your days? Well, a Colombian river cruise will allow you to have fun adventures in between the downtime hours you choose. As you are considering a river cruise in Colombia, it is important to think about all the different activities you can do. Today, I am sharing the best Colombian river cruise activities, so you can start thinking about which ones will interest you the most.  

Best Colombian River Cruise Activities 

Take a Walking Tour 

There are so many walking tours available in the different ports of call for river cruises in Colombia. It might be boring to take them all. However, one or two of them can have you learning the history of a region or seeing the major attractions.  

As I am planning your Colombian river cruise, we can discuss whether a walking tour is something you want to do during your amazing vacation. Then we can decide which one will allow you to have the most fun during your time away from home.  

Head Out on a Sunset Cruises 

You may be tired by the end of the day during your river cruise vacation. However, one of the best Colombian river cruise activities is heading out on a sunset cruise. There is nothing better than watching the sun lower along the horizon, as you sail along the Magdalena River.  

Enjoy a Birdwatching Tour 

One of the best places to go birdwatching in Colombia is Magangue. Head away from the city and see birds that are native to this region. I recommend taking your camera with you, so you can capture the beauty of this country and its wildlife.  

Go Hiking 

Hiking is another excellent way to experience nature in Colombia. Ciénaga happens to be the best place for a hike when your river cruise ship stops near Magangue. It may be difficult to choose between birdwatching and hiking here. However, you should be able to do a little of both, no matter which Colombian river cruise activity you choose. 

Visit a Stilt House Village 

During your river cruise, you will have multiple opportunities to meet the locals and see their homes. However, the Floating Village of Nueva Venecia will pique your interest the most. It is one of the best attractions in Colombia. I recommend spending a little extra time here, as you check out the houses on stilts. It is best to take a guided tour, so you don’t miss anything during your visit.  

Attend a Carnaval Festival 

Okay, so unless you plan your Colombian river cruise carefully, you won’t be able to attend the real Carnaval festival during your visit. Thankfully, many of the cruise lines offer an authentic Carnaval celebration on the ship. You can attend one after visiting the Carnaval Museum.  

These are the best Colombian river cruise activities, but you can choose to do many others during your vacation. I can help you decide which river cruise activities are best for you during your Colombian vacation. The result will be an amazing vacation you will never forget!
