1.00I traveled with friends and did not receive the digital album. I was on the ferry back when I remembered. Others on the trip did not receive it either. I messaged days ago and have not gotten a response.

Something that’s not...

2.00Something that’s not being mentioned in the description is that you need to know swimming and the snorkeling water is supposed to 25-30 feet deep. We also felt the instructors were very rude and non friendly and did not care if we were able to follow them. We would not have booked this tour if we known that the water is deep and instructors are rude. We could not complete the tour but would have appreciated if they could have helped us a little bit to show something around.
Snorkel and beach

4.00Good trip. We spend just the right amount of time at both places. The snorkeling was pretty good but not quite as much to see as I have seen on other trips. The beach was amazing. I heard that the snorkeling at the beach was even better than the snorkel spot. Guides were fun, friendly, and informative

5.00Great experience from start to finish. Our tour guides Hector, Jose and Nat were the best! Snorkeling was a good time, not too taxing, saw some sea turtles. Flamenco Beach was beautiful. We rented chairs and umbrellas. We were lucky to have a great weather day. Would definitely recommend
Cancelled at the last minute.

3.00They were great about sending all of the information that we needed. We didn’t get to go because they cancelled at 7:45 for an 8 am start due to weather. We were already there and waiting. They did offer a rebook or full refund.
I highly recommend!

5.00It's worth it! Great way to meet Culebra and still dive and see the turtles and other marine animals. Jose, Marta and Natalia were great! I loved it!
Fantastic Day!

5.00This tour was probably the best part of our trip! We picked this primarily for the sea turtle portion and it did not dissapoint! Natalia was our primary guide for the trip and lead the snorkeling which was awesome. I bought a waterproof cover for my phone so was lucky enough to get some great pictures- but the tour group also took some and sent them to us. ***A WARNING TO PARENTS***- the age range is 6+ for this excursion, the swim is a bit long (we were up against the current for the first part) and my 6 year old struggled and I would consider her a relatively stronger swimmer. The guides were great, patient and helpful- but if your kid is still in the early stages of learning, this is probably NOT the tour to do. My 8 year old did fine. The rest of the day at Flamenco Beach was also great, the views and the water are insanely beautiful. You can rent umbrellas/chairs- we did the "combo" which was 2 loungers and an umbrella. I read that some people had some issues with the Ferry, we did not experience any of that, they kept us right on schedule and no issues. I would recommend this to anyone going to PR on vacation!
