Amazing trip and great tour guides. Bring nausea medication for the ferry ride though.

5.00Really fun adventure for the day the snorkeling was amazing and the instructor really cares for the safety of the participants not to mention how beautiful the sights were. This was followed by a trip to the breathtaking flamenco beach and the local food stands. Afterwards you have some time in the downtown area to eat and gift shop to your hearts content. Overall great outing for people of all ages and the tour guides were great. Only un-enjoyable part was the ferry; it is 1hr+ of pretty rough waters especially going against the current to the island. Make sure you bring nausea medicine or money to buy some before departure👍🏿
Awesome!

3.00The snorkeling was fabulous. Our guide Jose was so much fun and pointed out all the wild life to us. We were able to see turtles in the wild. The beach was a let down we were dropped off for 3 hours in an area with 3 restaurants and a beach. It poured the entire time so we spent 3 hour huddled next to a bunch of other people waiting for our ride.
Excellent experience, snacks/drinks could be better

4.00The staff was excellent. The "snacks" could be better and water/drinks should be available through the trip not just on one spot.
Loved it my kids had so much fun

5.00We had a really great time on this excursion, and the guides were an absolute pleasure. We were able to see and swim with sea turtles during the snorkeling tour. If you're looking for snorkeling with a history lesson and tour of a beautiful town, then finish the day off with some relaxing time on the most beautiful beach you will likely ever experience in Flaminco Beach, definitely book this excursion. You won't be disappointed!
Very fun experience

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!

5.00Our 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!
