Absolutely amazing experience! Our guides were Adrianna, Edgardo, Emilio and Gina. Adrianna did most of the talking for the day. She taught us about the culture, facts about Culebra and Puerto Rico. We felt so safe snorkelling. Our guides were very attentive and pointed out wildlife. We saw 3 turtles! After, Flamenco beach was so beautiful and it was fun exploring Culebra at the end of the day. It was a 10/10 trip and our guides were superb!! I highly recommend this excursion.

Overall, it was an amazing experience. Our tour guides were so friendly and welcoming. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions, they’ll help where they can. Plan to arrive early at the ferry terminal, you can take a shuttle back from the parking lot to the meet up spot with the guides. Pack as if going to the beach, you don’t necessarily need to pack a lot but try your best to be prepared. If you want to walk comfortably at the snorkeling spot ( rocks walking into the water) take some water shoes with you, you’ll be barefoot otherwise. Carry cash, and have your phone with you when not in the water. There will be bathrooms at the terminal, on the ferry, but not at the reserve. The ride on the ferry will take about 1hr 30 minutes to get there and to get back. You’ll be tired by the end of the day, but it’ll be well worth it. Listen to the guides and follow the rules! Please respect the wildlife, cleanup after yourself and support the locals.

Listing mentions kayaking but there is no kayaking. The rest of the tour was fun and well organized.

The tour guides are with you every step of the way in the ocean! Very fun and a enjoyable experience!

Had an amazing experience, friendly and knowledgeable group of tour guides. Went snorkeling for the first time ever and I'm glad I did and i would 100% do it again and make sure I use Kayaking Puerto Rico.
William_S, Jul 2026
Snorkeling was amazing. Saw 3 turtles. Flamenco beach is worth the long ferry ride. Kevin, Jose, and Ana were fantastic guides. Thank you for a great day.

Fantastic experience in Tamarindo and Flamenco Beach (Culebra) our tour guides were Jose and Chris. This was my first time snorkeling and it was a great experience. We got to see 4 sea turtles, a stingray and plenty of fish. Chris took plenty of pictures of the sea animals and pictures of all the participants. Totally recommend this tour.

Madaline_P, Jul 2026
This has been by far one of my best excursions. This team of Chris and I forgot the girls name went above and beyond. Chris never left my site. He made sure we enjoyed snorkeling. They even take pictures for you. They made you feel welcomed and explain everything we were going to experience. The excursion was 10/10. We will come back next year. For a person that doesn’t swim I couldn’t believe my eyes that I actually snorkel in the middle of the beach.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for sharing such a meaningful review! We’re thrilled to hear that this became one of your best excursions and that our team helped you feel safe, welcomed, and comfortable every step of the way.
Chris will be especially happy to know that his support made such a difference during your first snorkeling experience. We’re also glad you enjoyed the photos and felt well prepared for the adventure. It means a lot to know you were able to accomplish something you did not think was possible.
Thank you for the wonderful 10/10 rating. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for another unforgettable experience!

Absolutely worth the time! an all day thing, osmosis nothing after but a takeout dinner in your hotel room. Do not forget to bring a dry set of clothes and change out of your swimsuit. I would do this again.
Berlin_J, Jul 2026
Friendly activity and very relaxing. Our tour guy Jose was very kind and professional. The beaches were beautiful.
Amanda_G, Jul 2026
Beautiful experience. We saw so many turtles and a huge sting ray at Tamarindo while snorkeling with the help of our friendly guides Chris and Kevin. Flamenco is our favorite beach in PR and it never disappoints. The only thing that would of made the trip better would be to stay at the beach longer!
Stephanie_T, Jul 2026
Chris and Gina were exceptional guides. Once our 6 year old started snorkeling, there was no stopping her. It was amazing.
Jennifer_A, Jul 2026
Kevin, Chris, and Natalia were amazing. They were so relaxed, yet very punctual and so informative about PR. This was our second tour this week and many more to come!
Shannon_K, Jul 2026
It was amazing! Our guides were knowledgeable and personable throughout the whole excursion! We saw sea turtles, many different kinds of fish, eels, stingrays, and more. They pointed everything out and took pictures for us. We already had the link to the pictures by the time we got back to the main island. I would highly recommend this tour!
christian_t, Jul 2026
They took care of everything for us. There was the ferry and the transportation to Flamenco Beach. They did have an issue with Staffing where we couldn't go snorkeling but it was also a day with rough Seas so I don't think my family would have been able to enjoy it too much anyways but that also meant we had more time at the beach which they did enjoy. Other than that experience was good, the crew was good. FYI drink something before getting on the ferry. Most people in there were throwing up. My family and I drank something for motion sickness and we were all good.
Margaret_M, Jul 2026
We booked a snorkel island tour ending in flamenco beach w return 530. We get there and there is no snorkeling cause they "are short staffed". We are directed to a kiosk 9 (7 off today) for chair rentals and told they are out for the day. The tour company got the tour tix to leave on 3 pm boat. I feel I paid a lot of money for the same if I got the ferry tix on my own which would be around $10
Miranda_F, Jul 2026
Fantastic experience led by José, Natalia, and Gina. You can tell they love their home in Puerto Rico by the way they educate and share with the group. Very thorough and communication was superior. Just one note: we weren’t able to wear our glasses because the mask wouldn’t seal, even with a strap. Just be advised,
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Breanne_B, Jul 2026
I really enjoyed this experience! We were able to accomplish everything we wanted to do on Culebra island wrapped up into one tour. I loved how the ferry tickets and transportation was taken care of while on the island with this tour as well. Our tour guide Chris and Jose were amazing. Really fun and would book again!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

This was such a great experience and I would recommend it for everyone who visits PR. We were able to see turtles and lots of fish. The crew was amazing and informed us about the island as well as how to put the snorkeling gear on correctly. They made sure that everyone in the water was okay and if someone needed assistance, they were there to help.

Exactly as advertised. Beautiful time on Flamenco beach. Best beach ever!! Just wished we would have had more time! At the snorkeling location we saw stingrays and various sea turtles. It was all amazing! Guides were very knowledgeable and kind. Overall a great day in Culebra.
Angel_G, Jun 2026
Snorkeling was a great experience and we were able to see 3 sea turtles! Flamenco Beach is a MUST, whine visiting Puerto Rico! It is absolutely stunning!
Ashley_T, Jun 2026
We started with a ferry to the island. Once to the port we took a small bus to our beach for snorkeling. We left from a beach, which was different than advertised with the pictures of the tour, which was fine, just unexpected. Our group started with the snorkeling, it was fantastic. We did get to see 4 green sea turtles! We also went out to the reef and checked out the reef and other schools of fish were around, definitely cool. Then we were taken to Flamenco Beach, which is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. There were several places to choose from for lunch and hangout at the beach. We also walked down to some old remnant WW2 tanks, one actually in the ocean. We were there for around 3 hours then headed back to the docs to catch the ferry back. It was a highlight of our trip!
D_O, Jun 2026
My tour was an amazing experience, shout out to Kevin. He is the best hands-down!! I made a new friend — he was patient and very understanding when I couldn’t swim all the way but he handled it like a pro, Sebastian was also a guide and he was funny and informative of the island. We saw turtles, which was really cool and if you can, try to ask to see the turtles first and then go to flamenco Beach. It makes the day flow easier! The ferry ride is meh but not awful and I’d visit again just do another activity
Kelsy_R, Jun 2026
Can’t wear bathingsuits on the ferry. Be sure to take clothes. Very cool experience. Would do again!
Erick_T, Jun 2026
Nice tour. I like the fact I didn't have to worry about Ferry tickets and transportation. Our guides did a great job leading the snorkeling and showing us around the crystal clear waters. We enjoyed it very much.
