5.00The driver was great! Flamenco Beach in Culebra is stunningly beautiful! It is said to be one of the prettiest beaches in the world.
Great way to visit Culebra!

5.00VERY well organized at Ceiba docks. There is parking away from the docks, but a shuttle takes you to the check in point for the ferry. Once you are checked in you are taken to a covered holding area in which you can sit down. When everyone has arrived you are taken to board the ferry. There are several ferries, but the one we boarded was very comfortable. It takes a little over an hour to arrive at Culebra Island. If you are prone to seasickness, then take a Dramamine 30 minutes prior to departure, however, it is a smooth ride on most days. Once you arrive in Culebra you can choose tours, or various modes of transportation to see the island. This is a great way to visit Culebra! Highly recommend!

3.00They just drop you off with no information at all. You’re just kind of on your own to find transportation and get to know where to go. Also ferry broke down and delayed 2 hours-not their fault but a total drag!
Beautiful

5.00Our driver was really nice. He got us to Ceiba in no time and I appreciated that. The bus going to Ceiba from San Juan was a little older made for a slightly bumpy ride. But, coming back, it was a nicer bus and a much smoother ride. The ferry ride was roughhhhhh. That was because the water was rough and choppy. Coming back, very smooth ride. The beach was nice. Plenty of space. There was food available to purchase. The restaurants in Culebra were nice as well. My friends and I patronized two different restaurants and bars before getting back on the ferry.
Beautfiul Day

5.00Culebra Island is beautiful. A number of different beaches and resaturants to try. The ferry was a bit rough because of the waters but there's nothing you can do about that. We spent our time at Flemenco Beach and it was amazing. The water was the right tempature and things were reasonably priced. Our driver Brandon was very nice as well.
Process was smooth and easy

5.00We got picked up around 7:15am and made it to the island around 11:30am. Once on the island you can get a taxi which is $5 per person or rent golf carts or jeeps. We went to flamenco beach and it was $2 per person entrance. The food and drinks we had there was really good and it was reasonably priced.
Culebra Five Stars, This Tour One Star

1.00Culebra is amazing and I will elaborate later. This tour was a huge waste of money. The tour advertises a 10am ferry and a 530pm return ferry. Even in the text communications the night before this was communicated, but on the day of the tour we were for return ferry tickets for 330pm, which lost us two full hours. The hour long ferry there also took 1 hour and 45 minutes, we were told this was because it was a car ferry and they take longer. We were given no information or ideas about what to do on Culebra as the tour said. The tour also noted a max of 12 people, but there were about 18/19 in the bus. The bus also had no A/C on the return. Honestly, a huge waste of money. We would have been better off organizing ourselves to go to Culebra. I contacted the company and they said even though they told me 530pm, that return departure doesn’t start until April 1st, and we traveled March 30th. They apologized but didn’t seem to have remorse or concern at their false advertising it seemed very much like a copy paste apology, even blaming me for not knowing the later departure time didn’t start for two days. I was offered nothing to make it right. Israel the driver was great. That being said Culebra itself is gorgeous and I would definitely return! Do not miss Culebra! The sand is so soft on Flamenco beach, you can rent a golf cart to drive around the island. We needed much more time. Don’t miss it!
Fun place you should go to

5.00Great day, but could be longer. We enjoyed the island a lot. We rented a car, but ended up spending the day on Flamenco Beach. With slow car rental process and needing to get back in time for drive from car rental to ferry it would’ve been easier to get a cab. Nice island and amazing beach at Flamenco. Would do it again.
A great, cost-effective...

5.00A great, cost-effective way to get to Culebra for the day! Pick-up and drop-off were straightforward, and I felt like I had just the right amount of time to explore the island. Drivers on both legs of the trip were friendly. Would highly recommend, especially if you're looking to avoid renting a car!
