Private, not exclusive-sounding
Almost everything in our catalogue runs as a private version for two. It usually costs less than people expect and changes the day completely.
For two
Planned closely, then left alone.
The work of a good trip for two is invisible: the table that is not by the kitchen door, the boat that leaves before the crowd, the driver who does not talk when nobody wants talking. Then we get out of the way.
How this works
Four things we take off you.
Timed against the crowd
The same viewpoint an hour earlier is a different place. We know which hour that is for each one, and it is rarely the one the tour buses use.
Proposals handled quietly
Photographer already in position and briefed, ring collected, the boat booked under one name. Planned with one of you and invisible to the other.
Then genuinely alone
A named contact on a phone you can ignore. We do not check in on you, and nobody meets you in a lobby unless you asked for it.
Hand-picked
Days that are better with one other person.
Every one of these runs privately for two. The private version is described on each page with its own price — no guessing, and no “enquire for pricing”.
Water
Catamaran Sunset Sail
Out through the reef pass under sail as the light goes, with the island turning gold behind you and the water running through every colour it has. Two hours, drinks aboard, and no engine noise.

Food & Drink
A Working Coffee Finca
Not a coffee museum — a family farm on a steep green slope where you pick, pulp, wash, dry, roast and finally drink, and where the grower explains what the price on your supermarket bag actually pays them.

Wellness
Antioquian Hot Springs
Thermal pools fed by volcanic groundwater in the hills, with a cold-water waterfall to alternate into if you want the full effect. The most restorative day available within reach of the city.

Day Trip
Guatapé & the Rock of El Peñol
A 220-metre granite monolith with 740 steps zigzagging up its face, and from the top an archipelago of flooded green valleys that looks unreal. Then Guatapé itself, where every building carries a painted zócalo panel.

Food & Drink
Raizal Kitchen: Rondón & Island Culture
Rondón is fish, conch, breadfruit, cassava, plantain and dumplings slow-cooked in coconut milk for hours, and it is the heart of Raizal cooking. You cook it with an island family and hear how the archipelago sees itself.

Day Trip
Jardín: Cable Cars, Plaza and Coffee Country
A coffee town that has resisted being modernised, with a painted plaza where the whole town still sits out in the evening, two hand-built cable cars running up opposite valley walls, and some of the best coffee in Antioquia.

$45–$160

Wellness
Choachí Hot Springs
Thermal pools on the far side of the eastern hills, reached over a mountain pass with the best road view of Bogotá anywhere. Warm water at altitude, which is exactly what the city does not otherwise offer.

$25–$80

Water
Providencia: Crab Cay, Morgan’s Head & Lovers’ Bridge
Providencia is what San Andrés was fifty years ago — 5,000 people, no high-rises, and the best water in the archipelago. A boat day around the island and its sister Santa Catalina.

Money
What private for two costs.
The honest answer is that it is less of a jump than most people assume, because the cost is the guide and the vehicle rather than the seat.
- A private day out, guide and transport, for two
- $120–260 total
- Sunset sail, private charter
- $180–320 for the boat
- Proposal set-up with photographer
- From $340
- A week across two cities, planned end to end
- Quoted, typically $1,400–3,200
Tipping is optional on every tier and 100% of tips are donated — 20% to children and young-adult tourism training. Nobody here is paid better or worse because of what you tip.
Proposals: tell us early, and tell us one thing.
The single most useful thing you can give us is the date and the fact that it is a surprise. Everything after that we can work around — but a photographer who finds out on the day is a photographer standing in the wrong place.
Asked often
Before you ask.
Is a private version much more expensive?
Usually a third to double the group price for two people, not the five times people expect. Each experience page shows the private figure next to the group one.
Can you keep it a surprise?
Yes. We correspond with one of you only, and we will keep anything identifiable off the confirmations if you tell us to.
Best of the three cities for a honeymoon?
San Andrés for water and quiet, Medellín for warmth and ease, Bogotá for a couple of good days rather than a week. Most honeymoons we plan are two of the three.
What if we just want to be left alone?
Then that is the plan, and we are good at it. A booked arrival, a few things held loosely, and nothing else.
Tell us roughly, and we will come back specifically.
Add anything above to your trip and send it over, or just describe what you are picturing. Either way a person here reads it and replies — nothing is booked and nothing is charged until you have a written price you are happy with.
