    Our guide arrived late. My family felt uncomfortable with this guide. The strong smell of marijuana and the gestures he made toward our daughter were inappropriate. Very unprofessional and disorganized.

    The was an awesome experience. Jonathan, our tour guide, was knowledge. He made the experience so very interesting. We were the only two people on the tour which tells me this company isn't just about huge groups. We saw several sea turtles and then traveled to a second beach to see the coral reefs. Jonathan made sure we felt safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend this company!

  • An unforgettable experience to see into the tropical marine world

    Our tour guide Sarah was very experienced and patient. The snorkeling experience was wonderful! We saw lots of sea urchins and tropical fish. The only pity was that many of the coral reefs were dead. But overall an amazing snorkeling experience! Highly recommended!

    This was an amazing experience with fabulous guides, Sarah and Jonathan! We snorkled with the turtles on the first half and it was amazing! We got to see several turtles including a rare hawks bill turtle who came up for air. It was amazing to see him in all his glory! Sarah and Jonathan were so happy too because they don’t see them often. The second half was snorkeling at Melones Beach seeing the coral and beautiful fish, squid and lobsters. Amazing day and experience. Thank you Sarah and Jonathan! You both were amazing, kind, helpful and very knowledgeable! I highly recommend this experience!

  • We had an amazing time snorkeling with Sara. She was really nice and fun to snorkel with. We did two tours with her!

    This is our third trip to Culebra and pur fourth snorkeling tour. The three previous either departed from Fajardo on a private boat, or were on near shore reefs around the island. Each of the previous tours was less focused on time in the water and more time on the beach. Snorkeling with locals is vastly different and 10000% better. We met out guide Jonathan on Tamarindo beach around 9am. He provided fins, mask and snorkel as well as PFDs for the day. We walked down the beach, into the water and set off towards the sea grass beds where the turtles live. The area around Tamarindo Beach is a nature preserve where juvenile sea turtles live and grow before finally venturing out into open ocean. My expectations were to see one or possibly two turtles during the excursion. I was blown away by the abundance in the sanctuary. In addition to a dozen sea turtles, we were also treated to the chance to pet a sea cucumber, hold a conch, and watch a reef shark prowling the bottom. We also saw stingrays, numerous species of fish and other sea life. The swim with turtles lasted nearly an hour and a half and was a magical experience. We transferred to Melonas beach for the second half of the excursion, where we dove on the thriving coral reef system just off shore. The abundance of sealife was amazing and we saw Caribbean lobsters, sea urchins, flounder, puffer fish, sea stars and a trumpet fish just to name a few. This dive also lasted for an hour and a half, which far exceeded our expectations. In all, this was the best snorkeling experience I have ever had. The small group and personal attention from Jonathan exceeded every previous trip by a wide margin. I cannot recommend this excursion enough. We'll done!!

    We had an excellent experience on our snorkeling tour on Culebra. The first beach we visited to see the turtles was remote, undeveloped, and beautiful, with very calm, clear waters and excellent swimming. It was a great intro to snorkeling for the less experienced swimmers in our group. Lots of turtles! The coral reef experience was also incredible, with a wide variety of colorful corals and fascinating fish species to see. Our guide, Sarah, was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local sea ecosystems and underwater life. She also did a great job of managing our large family group which has a tendency to wander off and not listen to instructions, and do so with great humor and professionalism.

    Our guide Sara was fantastic and knowledgable. She made everyone feel very comfortable, especially for those who are snorkeling for the first time. After I realized that I left a shirt in Sara's car, it was returned to me 2 days later which I really appreciated. Note that to transfer from 1st beach to the 2nd beach, you will have to take a taxi which will be arranged for you. If there are at least 4 people in the group, it's $5pp, otherwise it's $20 total.

  • Helpful and considerate kind tour guide

    I couldn’t make it 1. The weather was cloudy and my small flight from San Juan was canceled. 2. I was the only one booked that reservation that day. But the guide was so kind and helpful. Respond immediately and refunded me. Thank you so much.
