5.00Very fun day filled with lots to do. We started with the ferry and then snorkeling in a bay. We saw sea turtles, fish and a stingray. Then we relaxed on flamenco beach and then had a little time in the small downtown before we caught the ferry back. The guides Nora and Sebastian were great!

5.00Flamenco Beach is stunning, but having guides who genuinely care about their guests made the day unforgettable. Thank you, Laura and Sebastian, for making this one of the highlights of my trip to Puerto Rico. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island!

5.00Great experience with Kayaking Puerto Rico from start to finish. From the ferry ride to Culebra & visiting the different beaches, the whole day was fun & completely worry free. Norma, Sebastian, & Gina were very friendly, knowledgeable & responsible & made sure our group had a great time & got to see everything the excursion had to offer.
A Perfect Day in Paradise Thanks to Nora, Sebastian & Christian!

5.00Our Culebra snorkeling and Flamenco Beach tour was absolutely phenomenal, and the biggest reason was the amazing crew: Nora, Sebastian, and Christian! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcomed, cared for, and excited for the adventure ahead. Their kindness, professionalism, and positive energy truly set the tone for the entire day. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and having the best possible experience. The snorkeling was incredible, and their guidance made it enjoyable for both experienced snorkelers and beginners. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and always nearby to help, answer questions, and point out marine life. We felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands. And can we talk about the snacks? Everything was thoughtfully prepared and perfectly timed throughout the trip. It may seem like a small detail, but it made a huge difference and showed how much they care about their guests’ comfort and enjoyment. Flamenco Beach was every bit as breathtaking as everyone says, but having such a wonderful crew elevated the experience from great to unforgettable. Nora, Sebastian, and Christian clearly love what they do, and their enthusiasm and hospitality shine through in every interaction. If you’re considering a Culebra tour, don’t hesitate. This team is outstanding, and they turned what would have been a beautiful day into one of the most memorable experiences of our entire Puerto Rico vacation. Thank you, Nora, Sebastian, and Christian, for an incredible day we’ll never forget!

5.00We had a phenomenal experience and I definitely recommend!! We got separated into two groups and we got the second group which was smaller which made the snorkeling experience easier and the guides were very helpful and patient.
Awesome Snorkeling & Beach!

5.00Our family had an amazing time on this excursion in Culebra. The snorkeling experience was great, and we were lucky enough to see sea turtles, coral, stingrays, and even a barracuda! Spending time afterward at Flamenco Beach was the perfect ending with crystal clear water and beautiful weather. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and relaxing while answering all of our questions. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Rico!
Great snorkeling trip!

4.00I’ll start with the pros: great staff, super friendly guys, made snorkeling really fun we were able to see giant sea turtles, a sting ray, and lots of amazing fish at Tamarindo beach. Flamenco beach was amazing we had a few hours there to chill swim, didn’t really get food or drinks bc it takes a long time. The water temp was amazing. Snacks and a refreshment were provided after tamarindo beach. Cons: meet up was at 8, ferry didn’t leave till 9am, by the time we got there and did anything it was past 11am. So felt rushed. The transport bus was super hot and no ventilation felt like I was going to die lol. Also I could have sworn the guy said meet back at 4:30 but I could have not heard correctly and they left us at flamenco beach. We had to hitch a ride back to town for $10 from another company. Also only given an hour in town. Again, trip felt rushed. Overall good experience but I think I’d do it by myself next time without a tour
Had such a good time on...

5.00Had such a good time on this snorkel tour. The crew was really nice and made everything easy and fun. The water was beautiful and we saw so many fish and sea turtles. Definitely one of the best things we did in Puerto Rico. Would 100% do it again.
Perfect day in Culebra

4.00Everything was great from start to finish. My goal with this tour was to be completely worry free, I didn’t want to plan anything, and they delivered exactly that. At the port, there’s parking available for $15 per day. We met at 8am and took the 8:20 am ferry, so don’t be late. Once we arrived in Culebra, we took a private bus to Tamarindo Beach, and the snorkeling experience was simply amazing. The water was crystal clear, they provided snorkeling gear for those who didn’t bring their own, as well as floaties for your safety. Be prepared to swim!! We saw turtles, stingrays, beautiful reefs, and lots of fish. They also took pictures of us using their own camera, which was a great touch. After snorkeling, they offered water, juice, and fruits. For the price, it would have been nice if they included something a bit more filling. So bring some food just in case. Next, we went to Flamenco Beach and the place is absolutely beautiful! There are chairs available to rent and food kiosks, nothing fancy but convenient. We were asked to meet back at 4 pm to return to the port, which felt a bit rushed since we only had about 3 hours there. Back at the port, they handed us our tickets, and we took the ferry around 5 ish back to Ceiba. Overall, everything was great! It is a bit pricey, and you could technically do it on your own, but if you’re like me and just want to relax without worrying about tickets, transportation, or planning, it’s totally worth it.

5.00We had a fantastic time. We saw 4 sea turtles, urchins, a stingray, and a bunch of tropical fish. It was a very good experience. The only thing I’d add for people to be aware of is that the snorkel mask won’t have a good seal if you have a mustache. My husband was struggling with water getting in his mask because of the mustache and we didn’t think about that before hand, just a helpful tip before you go! It was really nice to have the transportation totally figured out for us when we were on Culebra. Flamenco beach was also stellar.
