We booked this excursion last minute through Viator. The online booking instructions specifically said to call and text if a gluten-free meal was needed, so we did both. Unfortunately, no one responded. When we arrived, our messages hadn't even been read. To their credit, the staff did make an effort to find gluten-free bread, but we were charged an additional $6 for two slices.
Check-in was confusing. We were told to wait outside while everyone else left. No one explained where we were supposed to go next. Thankfully, we went back inside to ask, and only then were we told to drive around the corner to meet everyone else. Had we not asked, we likely would have missed the boat.
The boat itself was clean, and the four crew members were courteous upon arrival.
The ride out was extremely rough. Many passengers were frightened, several were crying, and numerous people became seasick and vomited. Because of the conditions, we did not make it to Flamenco Beach, according to the captain.
I chose not to snorkel and remained on the boat. After everyone else entered the water, the captain apparently assumed the boat was empty and began smoking a cigarette onboard. This was surprising because we had specifically been told on shore that smoking on the vessel was strictly prohibited.
The ride back was even more disappointing. The captain appeared to be more interested in flirting with one of the guests than operating the boat. They spent time together on the bow before moving upstairs, where their behavior became uncomfortable for other passengers. The captain was so distracted that one of the deckhands ended up driving the boat back to the dock.
The biggest disappointment came after the excursion. Once we returned to our condo, my husband realized he had lost his hearing aid—a medical device, not just a personal belonging. We called repeatedly, left multiple voicemails, sent emails, and contacted the company through Viator. We never received a single response or acknowledgment from anyone.
While I appreciate the crew's effort to accommodate my gluten-free meal and found the boat to be clean, the lack of communication before and after the trip, the confusing boarding process, the captain's unprofessional behavior, and the complete absence of any follow-up regarding an expensive medical device left us extremely disappointed.
Based on our experience, I would not recommend this excursion to my friends or family.

This was an amazing experience for us and our daughter’s first time to snorkel. The crew was amazing in the water and explaining things for us.
Gina_A, Jun 2026
The ride to the island is a bit bumpy and made a couple people in our group sick so I would recommend taking some Dramamine. They provide food and drinks and will assist you with everything you need. The guides were very friendly and welcomed questions. We even threw around a football with them! I definitely recommend doing this with your friends and family.
Tiffany_L, Jun 2026
Jay and his crew were absolutely amazing! We had the best time on this trip. We loved the snorkeling, the boat was nice and clean. Everything was well organized and planned, including the lunch! We would recommend this excursion to everyone!!
Jodie_M, Jun 2026
The boat ride was smooth and the staff were helpful. We saw a variety of fish, a couple turtles, and a Flounder. The beach was beautiful and the water was breathtaking. The drinks were fair. The overall experience was wonderful and would do it again!
Kruti_G, Jun 2026
Great experience and tour. Operators are nice. Just wish that they played some nice music while on Flamenco beach.
tay_t, Jun 2026
I wish I could give ZERO stars. as you can see in the descriptions and the emails and everything else it says to meet at 9AM or whichever time they give you. That is false!! The building and parking lots were empty when my group got there and when we tried calling them- they had changed the time on us without any notice and had apparently taken off for the day and refused to give us refunds or book for a different day. total scam

It was incredible, amazing!
It was breathtaking, culebra has become my favorite beach, it was amazing!

We had a blast ! The staff was super informative , helpful , genuine and knowledgeable! 10/10 whole experience!

You'll be well fed, and snacks won't run out. The guides will be very nice, and safety precautions will seem to be met. Most of the guides, however, will not be from the Island; they will be staff workers from water tour companies that travel around the world. This diminishes the experience and is reflected in the music choice, setting the vibe for the tour. The boat felt a little dirty. I wish they had hosed the floor and seats off mid-trip because when barefoot and in little more than a swimsuit, looking and stepping on mushy wet crumbs, chips, and hair just feels nasty. One of the staff members had long black hair (I do too) and, after taking a swim, decided to brush out her wet hair and knots, openly disposing of her shed hair onto the wet boat floor in front of the food setup area. It was so gross to look at, as a long-haired girl who understands shedding and brushing, I would never. We all had to stand on her wet hair as we plated our lunch. Besides that, I was grateful to have gotten on the boat because they had to wait for me. While we did leave on time, give or take 3-4 minutes, I was late, the last one to board, and it must have been my fault. Let's be clear, they don't have to wait for anyone, so don't be late. We had planned to be super early and hang out in the marina since we were staying only 15 min away, but things had to change, and we decided to show up "on time," or so I thought. Every notification and ticket I received said 9 am. I filled out the paperwork and waivers in advance. But at 8:40, when I was 6 min away, I got a call (thank goodness) asking if I planned on arriving. I said yes and was informed that the "check-in" window was 8:00-8:45 am, and it had not closed! I was shocked and asked if they could wait since I was only 6 min out. They said the captain would be asked. I got a call back 2 min later and was told to go directly to the boat. I arrived at the address given, which was a shopping center with zero sinage or directions for the tour company. I called back and got no answer. I called again while driving around in a panic, asking anyone I saw if they knew where to go, and got no help, finaly they picked up, and I told them I was there but did not know where to go. The woman on the phone said to drive all the way to the end of the white gate (the equivalent of 2 long NYC streets), and they were the last ones. Well, that didn't work because one rusty iron white gate just turned into another, more modern-designed white gate, and kept going to a dead end. Again, I turned back and found 1 tour guide from another company to ask, and he said to go past the dead tree trunk painted like the PR flag and look for the small gate opening after that. Wow - anyway, I found it now 5 min past the 6 min I had promised, and saw the boat in the distance already loaded with people. In the end, I made it, stressed, embarrassed, frustrated, and with my BP sky high at this point. Yes, I likely missed the 1 notice that showed the check-in requirement, and that is me, but no follow-up email, text, or notification mentioned it, and I received several. Additionally, the woman giving me directions was clearly not the shopping center listed on their info could have been more specific about where to go. She did say she'd come out the gate, but when I drove by, no one was there. Still, at 8:52 am, I was parked and walking to the boat. Logistically, they could have done better, but they were within their right not to wait. They did, and my daughter and I still had a nice time once I calmed down. However, I did this tour with another company that charged about $120 more for two ppl It was worth the peace of mind because no detail was unclear, all boat staff were from the island, and the vibe was excellent start to finish. You get what you pay for. Read all the words and be 1 hr early - then you'll have a good time here (wear water shoes on the boat).

Amazing time, beaches are phenomenal, a MUST for anyone visiting puerto rico. Important info, the waves can be brutal getting there, waves up to 5 feet and more can rock the boat significantly. If you have motion sickness of any kind, please PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TAKE MOTION SICKNESS PILLS. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A GOOD TIME. Motion sickness is no joke on a boat, you will have a very, VERY bad time. Never really been on a boat to realize I had sever motion sickness like that. Thankfully my wife found some people who shared some motion sickness pills with me, was able to get back with no issues. Also, the sun there is BRUTAL, make sure to have proper sun screen. Came back so sunburned. Other than that amazing experience would highly recommend, best thing we did on our puerto rico trip.

Though we got an email the day before that the snorkeling would not be possible near the shores of Culebra Island due to strong currents (which would also cancel the Flamingo Bay trip) and instead we would be going to Vieques Island. The tour company gave us an option to cancel the tour or rebook it at a future date. We decided to stick with it since it was at short notice given the few days we had in Puerto Rico. To our surprise, based on the weather conditions on the day of departure, the crew was able to stick to the original itinerary to Culebra Island. The crew was friendly, courteous and very professional. One thing I would say is if someone has motion sickness, I would consider avoiding the tour or taking some medicine prior to boarding, since waves can be quite choppy sometimes. One of the passengers had quite a tough time dealing with it.

This snorkel tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The crew really made it special by taking us to a hidden, secret spot away from the crowds, which felt like our own private paradise. The water was crystal clear, the marine life was beautiful, and everything felt so peaceful. We spent a couple of hours just relaxing, swimming, and soaking in the scenery—it was pure bliss. It easily became one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I genuinely can’t stop thinking about this trip and would go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something unforgettable.

The crew made sure to explain everything thoroughly and ensure our safety. Aside from that they took great care for us, even when it came to rescheduling due to weather it was a seamless process. They were a great time and helped create awesome memories for my friends and I. I would recommend this excursion to everyone!!

Justine_L, Mar 2026
The boat ride to the island is not on a fancy boat. You will get wet during almost the entire ride if sitting towards the back of the boat and it is a loud and bumpy ride but absolutely worth it! The snorkeling was awesome! We saw some beautiful fish, a huge crab, and even turtles! We got to snorkel for about 45 minutes and got back on the boat to Flamenco Beach. We were lucky enough to have amazing weather to get there. The beach was insanely gorgeous! The boat docks in the water and you will need to swim to the beach. For those that couldn't swim, staff put the floatation devises and also helped them get out to the beach. Lunch was cold meat sandwiches, fruit, pasta salad and chips all very tasty! (no condiments bring your own) I'd recommend bringing a waterproof bag preferably a floating one and towels. Would not recommend bringing small children. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, they even bring drinks to you out in the water and on the beach!

Check in was absolute madness and a terrible start to the trip; chaos in the tiny office. Captain was chill and nice. Staff was very low key. Trip was fine; beautiful beach! Boat is not as nice or comfortable as a a catamaran so adjust expectations
Response from Host, Apr 2026

We’re continually working to improve the flow in our office so guests can begin their experience more smoothly.
We’re glad to hear that once on board, you found the captain and crew friendly and laid‑back, and that you enjoyed the beautiful beach. Our vessel is a dive boat, so it does differ from the comfort level of a catamaran, and we appreciate you noting that for future guests.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience next time.

This was a great boat day. There were 10 people in my group. We did have one child with us. The staff was great, helpful, attentive and friendly. Arrive on time for your check in process.

We did not make it to Culebra. Once we were already on the boat, we were notified of the change prior to departure. We were advised that if we didn't want to go to Vieques we could get a refund. Prior notice of the change would have been nice. We decided to go anyway and found that the boat ride over was pretty rough. I'd recommend taking a rain jacket or a windbreaker and a blanket with you. Also place anything you dont want to get soaked towards the front of the boat. Those sitting closest to the front of the boat are well protected from wind and water, but not if you are sitting mid to back of the boat and you should expect to get soaked. The day that we went the waters were pretty rough so the water was pretty murky, but we did see a couple of turtles and quite a few fish during the 45 minutes alotted for snorkeling. The lunch includes cold cut sandwiches, pasta salad, fruit, chips, cookies, and drinks (coke, sprite, water and mixed drinks). No beer, but they did have beer available for purchase, $3 Medallas. If we had known of the last minute change to our destination, we definitely would have canceled this excursion since we had all already been to Punta arenas beach on Vieques. Definitely disappointed with the lack of transparency, but the crew's priority was safety and assured we were all taken care of during the trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for choosing Sea Ventures, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced during your excursion.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and you’re absolutely right, receiving notice of the destination change only after boarding is far from ideal. While safety will always guide our decisions, we recognize that timely and transparent communication is essential, and we’re truly sorry that this wasn’t your experience.
I appreciate how clearly you described the conditions on the water and the seating differences on the boat. Insights like yours help future guests prepare and help us improve the way we set expectations. I’m glad you were still able to spot some turtles and fish, and that the crew took care of everyone, but I understand how the last‑minute change overshadowed the day, especially since you’d already visited Punta Arenas.
We’re grateful you shared this with us, and we’re committed to improving how we communicate schedule adjustments moving forward. If you decide to join us again, we’d love the opportunity to give you the Culebra experience you originally planned for.
