The tour was amazing! The crew was incredibly helpful, kind, and professional from start to finish. Although the conditions were a bit rough on the way over, the staff stayed attentive to everyone’s needs and made sure all guests felt safe and comfortable.
Flamenco Beach was absolutely gorgeous, and there were plenty of water activities to enjoy. Snorkeling nearby was especially cool and a highlight of the experience. Overall, a fantastic trip that I would highly recommend!

If you've already reserved a Culebra trip ask during the confirmation call or once you are checking in if you will be going to Flamenco Beach. if not, I would cancel. The location they took us to was a small rocky beach. I had a better beach in front of my hotel. Total waste of $400 + Tip. Moving forward, I would recommend that people bypass these types of restrictive tours entirely. The best way to truly experience Culebra is to handle the logistics independently: take the early ferry over, book the latest ferry back, rent a jeep or golf cart to safely navigate the island's rough side roads and spend your money on high-quality local dining rather than the mediocre food options provided on these charters.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d just like to clarify that our excursion is to Culebra, not specifically Flamenco Beach. Culebra has many beautiful beaches, and depending on sea and weather conditions, we may visit another beach that offers a better and safer experience for the day.
Our tour is advertised as a beach excursion, not a ferry or island transportation service. For guests primarily interested in exploring the island independently, renting a vehicle, and choosing their own beaches and restaurants, taking the ferry is certainly a better option.
We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps clarify the experience we offer.
We were meant to do this boat at 8am on Friday and at 7:55 AM I no longer see anyone with the same wristband as us in the boat waiting area.
We then go check with the front desk and said that one is being cancelled due to mechanical issues. Our options were limited, refund, smaller boat and only 4 hours to Icacos island. We made the best of it but it was a more relaxed boat then the other one we were really looking forward to.
I wish the east island excursion team did a way better job of notifying us and not making me go up to them to ask what is going on. We will see if we book another time.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We sincerely apologize for the confusion and, especially, for the lack of communication while you were waiting. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive for your 8:00 AM excursion and not know what was happening.
Unfortunately, we had a last-minute mechanical situation with one of the boats, and we were only informed of the full details shortly before departure. It took us some additional time to understand the situation, coordinate the available options, and try to accommodate everyone so that guests could still enjoy their day rather than simply having the entire excursion cancelled.
That said, we recognize that we should have communicated with you much sooner and more proactively. You should not have had to go to the front desk and ask what was happening, and we are truly sorry for that experience.
We’re glad you were still able to make the most of the day on the smaller boat and enjoy some time in Icacos, although we completely understand that it was not the experience you had originally been looking forward to.
We truly appreciate your patience and feedback. We’ll be taking this situation seriously with our team, particularly when it comes to keeping guests informed during unexpected mechanical issues.
It was a very nice time. Unfortunately, we were not able to go to Flamenco Beach because of weather, but they took us to a different area that was lovely. Plenty of food and drinks the entire time. It is definitely a take turns situation when it comes to be beach toys, but you are there for 4 hours so plenty of time.
Incredible experience!! The crew takes care of you completely, food, drinks, activities. They sometimes go to Culebrita island instead of Flamenco beach if the weather has caused a lot of seaweed so we ended up going to Culebrita and I am SO GLAD!!! It was Stunning!! I ended up getting a little sea sick on the way there (normal for me) and the crew was so sweet and helpful providing sea sickness bags, ice to put on my head, lots of water and checked in on me. I will definitely be back to book with them and try the snorkeling tour!
Great experience with the crew and other travelers aboard. Relaxed atmosphere and the crew really goes out of their way to ensure everyone’s needs are met and exceeded. Dave, Cana, Adrian and the captain were all excellent and we will return and do the trip again in the future.
We had a great time. The crew took care of all of our needs and the island was beautiful. Would definitely go again
My trip went to Culebrita Beach instead of Flamenco Beach. The water was absolutely stunning! It’s definitely better to go here than Flamenco as it’s a smaller secluded island. Just wished it was a longer stay. Tour provided plenty of food and drinks.
Oh my gosh the crew was super friendly and explained the instructions very well and clear we all enjoyed our self’s we had a lot of fun!
We all had a fabulous fabulous time. I would do this again . The team members are amazing. They looked out for everyone. They brought us our drinks and food to the sand. my daughter wasn’t feeling good and they went above and beyond to try to make her feel better, which she did end up enjoying the whole trip. I can’t thank them enough.
Amazing experience, just wished it was longer. I thought we would be there at least until 2pm. The crew as also great hosts.
Everything was great the water was choppy when getting there but it was fun! And everyone was so nice and friendly. The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable bringing drinks out to the ocean so we not going back and forth, taking pictures for us. And just bringing the vibes . Would deff recommend!
BOOK IT NOW!!!
This is our second trip with east islander tours and we highly recommend them over and over again. We did Icacos and now Culebra. They provide everything! You just need to show up! They take care of you! DRINKS! ON DRINKS! ON DRINKS! And a GREAT time! They make sure you get the most for your buck and do it all safely. From the food, to the snacks to the drinks, all by the blue sea! My husband and I always put this on our list every time we come to PR in the summer. AND YOU SHOULD TOO!
TIP! TIP! TIP!
The entire team was great!! Loved all activities and the beach was worth it. Food and snacks were amazing too!! All i can say is I Wish was longer lol everything was perfect
10/10 experience! Culebra was beautiful and the crew was excellent. Just a tip: if you get seasick easily, definitely take some motion sickness medicine before the trip. Highly recommend!
10/10
Went to Culebrita, at first I was hoping we were going to Culebra but once we arrived to Culebrita the water was crystal clear, the views were incredible and the staff was 10/10 & it was more of a private island feel. I watched one of the staff members bring drinks out in the water on a tray to a group of bachelorettes! They really went the extra mile!! I would definitely recommend!! Worth it for sure. Wonderful Captain & Crew
We were really excited for this trip on 7/19 but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. The 1hr boat ride to Culebra was extremely rough and fast, multiple people on board got motion sick and were throwing up. I'm not sure if that's typical or if it was just the conditions that day, but it made the experience difficult for me and my group. The food was also pretty mid and nothing memorable for the price. The staff were nice. The beach itself was absolutely beautiful, and honestly that was the highlight of the trip for us. Just be prepared and brace yourself for a bumpy ride!
Outstanding catamaran experience! The paddle boards, floating raft, and slide made the trip so much fun. The food was amazing, variety of drinks and the service was incredible from start to finish. Highly recommend this unforgettable experience!
Wow truly an amazing experience! Strongly recommended this tour if you are looking for something fun with your partner or friends. Open bar and lunch was amazing.
This was an amazing experience. Waters were a little rough getting to the island, but staff was very attentive. Flamenco Beach was breathtaking!! Good food for lunch, and the drinks refreshing. One of our family’s favorite experiences while visiting PR!!
Captain Carlos and the crew were amazing!! We had an awesome time on the beach, the ride was adventurous going to Culebra island the waves were making the ride a roller coaster lol so if you’re not used to it be ready to vomit! Many people used the bags but the crew we’re quickly accommodating. Overall 100/10 experience we had plenty of mixed drinks top shelf liquor and the food was great! We will definitely be back 🥰💕🇵🇷💯🙌🏽
This was such a wonderful experience! Do not skip out on this! The crew was more than helpful and attentive would do this over and over.
This is my second time doing this excursion and I had an awesome time both times! Unfortunately this second time we had to rebook because our vessel needed fixing. I prefer being rebooked instead of being stuck out on the water. Our crew was great! Capt Danny, Dave, Marta and Gerald were so cool, helpful and friendly! They worked great as a team and attended to everyone on board with great pleasure!! No complaints from me!! I had a wonderful time!!
Excellent crew on this trip! We had an amazing time. The food was also a great touch. The water was a bit choppy that day but felt very safe.
The full team is extremely caring, and friendly. From the captain to the rest of the team they make sure we were having a good time, from talking about the area and animal to make sure we have water and doing well.
This boating experience is one that you will never forget. All of the employees are incredibly nice and helpful. Prepare for potential of rough seas going to island, coming back is a breeze. This was the absolute most relaxing part of my vacation. It was beautiful and well worth the money.
You don’t need to bring anything but good vibes! The crew has everything to make you comfortable. The ride there can be rough so bring some anti nausea medicine. The crew did an excellent job making us feel comfortable and welcome.I’ve been on many boat tours in my life but I will say this one topped it all. The vibes food and drinks were all so amazing. The crew and captain were so so so fun and so welcoming. If there is one thing you should do it’s this. The beach was just perfect
Awful not good they keep you inside like sardines with little to no air, staff member kept making fun of peoples getting sea sick, a lot of people throwing up and one of the staff members kept saying ESTÁN CAYENDO COMO MOSCAS awful ride food was not good
Our group of 7 had a fantastic time on the Culebra catamaran excursion.
Our only suggestion is regarding the length of the excursion. While it’s advertised as a 6-hour trip, the boat ride is about 1 hour and 10 minutes each way. Once you arrive, it takes another 20 minutes or so to anchor and go through the safety briefing. That leaves only about 3 hours at the beach—and during that time lunch is also served. We found ourselves having to choose between relaxing at Flamenco Beach or sitting down to eat because the time went by so quickly.
Adding just one extra hour to the excursion would make a huge difference and allow guests to fully enjoy both the beach and lunch without feeling rushed.
Overall, we had an amazing experience just quite short the time for such a great trip.
Don't hesitate to book this excursion! Family of 6 w/4 18+ yr olds. They all thanked me over & over, best day ever. Flamenco beach was beautiful! Crew was amazing & made the experience that much better. We were on the Blue Flamingo, cant remember all crew names but Gabriel & Cassandra, as well as others went above & beyond! Food was great & unlimited drinks did not disappoint! Try the Jelly Fish from the secret menu😉
The excursion and the day were so well organized! The crew, captain, and staff were fun, helpful and kind. The food was delicious! Highly recommend for any group! The island was gorgeous!
