A classic half-day or day-water excursion from Taganga or Santa Marta focused on the reefs and calm-water sectors near Tayrona, especially the Neguanje / Playa Cristal side when conditions allow. It is one of the easiest marine tours to sell because it combines boat time, clear water, and lower physical effort than a full Tayrona hike. Santa Marta operators consistently market this type of experience. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
