Escape to one of the Caribbean’s most unspoiled islands on this high-speed catamaran day trip to Culebra, where snorkeling, beach time, and lunch are combined into one seamless experience. Optional hotel pickup from select San Juan locations makes getting started easy before you travel to Puerto del Rey Marina in Fajardo to board your catamaran.

Back onboard, refuel with a buffet lunch and tropical drinks before sailing on to one of Culebra’s famous beaches. Depending on conditions, spend the afternoon swimming and sunbathing at either Flamenco Beach on Culebra’s main island or the remote sands of Culebrita, known for its sweeping views toward St. Thomas.
The day concludes with a return cruise to Fajardo, followed by drop-off at the marina or optional hotel transportation.

This is one of the best snorkeling experiences we’ve ever been on! The hospitality of the crew was so amazing. I like that there were unlimited snacks, sodas, drinks, water throughout the trip (this helped with motion sickness). Lunch was delicious and so filling. The ride to and from the islands were so fun and an adventure themselves! That beaches that we travelled to were amount some of the most beautiful in the world! The water was a nice blue color, no trash, white sand, private area with no one to bother you, just the people you traveled with all having fun. We can’t wait to come on this experience again but bring our friends and families so they can have such an amazing experience as well. We do not regret booking this experience. The money it costs is well worth the experience!

I really enjoyed the Culebra excursion even though I was kind of sad that we were not able to spend the day in Flamingo beach, but I do understand that the water conditions were not the best. The captain took us instead to Culebrita island which was beautiful with clear waters. The ser ice was top not h, the crew made sure we were all comfortable and having fun. Captain Jose, Xiomara, and the rest of the crew went above and beyond. Thank you guys!
Crystal_C, Apr 2026
Highly recommend! The crew was amazing and very friendly. Kids (9 and 12) enjoyed the snorkeling and hanging out on the beach. We would definitely book another tour.
Stacey_B, Apr 2026
Today was a spectacular day on Culebra! The team was amazing, hospitality was on point, the views unreal! We truly enjoyed our day on this tour and would recommend it to any first time Puerto Rico visitor or repeat customer!

This trip was great! I would highly recommend! I think you should consider going to Cuelbra it was beautiful
Jeannie_C, Apr 2026
We had an amazing experience on this cabana tour! The crew was incredibly fun, attentive, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire trip. From start to finish, the company was communicative, organized, and professional, which made the whole process seamless and stress-free. The boat itself was clean and well-maintained, and the docking facilities were equally impressive. You can tell they take pride in their operation and truly care about providing a great experience for their guests. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and well-run excursion!

Yesenia_H, Mar 2026

Captain Jose and crew made sure we had a great time and safety was the main concern.
Very well organized. Very adventurous. I will definitely be a return customer. Breathtaking.!! highly recommended.
Natalia_G, Mar 2026
Amazing experience! The whole crew was very attentive, helpful, and fun!!! We couldn’t go to culebra beach due to the weather, and they took us to a different beach, but it was still amazing!! The whole team and captain were very fun and awesome! Highly recommend!
Jonathan_C, Mar 2026
This is a MUST! Capt. Christopher, Jezebel, Gerardo, Manny and Alex were Awesome!
They made it fun, anticipated needs before they were thought of, kept the day filled with excitement.
Extremely interactive with the guests, which makes the whole day that much better.
If you're looking to cruise, snorkel and see Flamenco Beach or any other packages they offer - it's a no brainer.. Just Go! You won't regret it!

Great time! Loved snorkeling. Flamenco beach was post card worthy. Crew was great! Great scenery on ride back!

Captain Jose, Geraldo, Amanda, and Javier were the BEST people EVER to be on this tour with. The service was 10/10 - our hands always had a fresh and filled drink! They brought us to the most BEAUTIFUL beach we have ever seen. Secluded with crystal clear water. The snorkeling was absolutely incredible. You must go - this is worth every single penny!!
Marissa_C, Feb 2026
The crew members were very nice (Cana, Coral, Jean Paul, Louis) and helpful. It was a little disappointing because the water was so rough we couldn’t make it to flamenco beach. We were traveling to Culebrita after but again the water was so rough we had to divert back to original spot.
Cristabel_J, Feb 2026
Absolutely BEST experienced ever! The crew was absolutely amazing, the food the hospitality, and amazing island!!!!.
Julie, Feb 2026
great crew, beach is beautiful! The food was better than expected. Highly recommend, the entire process was very efficient.
Miltina_A, Feb 2026
This was my first time doing this type of activity. I didn’t get to do the snorkeling because I didn’t know we would be in water where we couldn’t stand. We weren’t by any land and I was afraid of being in water where I couldn’t retreat fast if a shark came near by. So I decided not to participate in that portion of the trip.
We ate lunch and traveled to the beach where we did get out and enjoy the water. We had a good time. The boat was clean and the food was good. The crew took good care of us.
Tashera_P, Feb 2026
Cpt Christopher and his crew were amazing! My only fallout is that this tour was more beach than snorkeling. We only stopped at one stop to snorkel and for about 30-40 minutes. It was fine but it felt more like a beach excursion than a snorkel excursion.
Jaylen_D, Feb 2026
Amazing experience and amazing crew. Captain Jose and his team from Jaylen, Alex, and the others were all super friendly and kind. Absolutely recommend them if you book this excursion
erica_c, Feb 2026
Highly recommended! Weather had been rainy days leading up to our excursion, east island called to talk us through options and water conditions. We decided to stay the course despite being offered a refund or reschedule. The day ended up great- the spots we stopped were not crowded, the boat itself was clean and spacious for the amount of people, staff was friendly, lunch was delicious, music was good, and signage and parking were very clear. I’d struggle to find one thing to suggest for improvement!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for the recommendation and for trusting us despite the weather concerns! We’re glad the day turned out great and that you enjoyed the boat, crew, food, and overall experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Second time and again the staff is amazing....... always great to have the tour... culibretia was amazing ... and enjoy it all the time...
Lina_M, Jan 2026
We had an amazing time, crew was very professional, attentive, organized and clean
Definitely recommend
Becky_N, Jan 2026
The beach was beautiful. Food stop was excellent. Guides were professional. Fun day on and in the water!
Alexis_S, Jan 2026
this excursion was SO much fun!!!! truly the highlight of our trip. the beach of Culebra was beyond beautiful, snorkeling was awesome- our group saw a variety of sealife including an octopus, a manta ray, a barracuda and other beautiful fish in the reef. The crew on board could not have been nicer or more accommodating. I will definitely book this excursion every single time I return to PR. I would recommend this excursion for people that are comfortable swimming because you will be in deep open water during snorkeling and required to swim to land to access the beach. Lunch was tasty and the rum drinks were yummy. Could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to our captain and crew.
Mimi_M, Jan 2026
I booked this trip two days before. I loved the idea of either snorkeling or just laying on the boat or beach to sun bathe. Staff, especially the lady, was very engaged and energetic with guests. A reroute due to a swell didn’t make the trip any less enjoyable.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the flexibility of the experience and that our crew’s energy made your trip even more special. We’re also glad the reroute didn’t take away from your enjoyment. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Lokesh_M, Dec 2025
This experience was not really worth the cost, the tour skipped Flamenco beach and Culebra island given the sea conditions and got diverted to another small island and beach, overall the experience was not value for the money paid. The crew/staff was very helpful.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
You are absolutely right—our tours are subject to sea and weather conditions. The safety of our guests and crew is always our top priority, so on days when conditions are not suitable to reach destinations like Flamenco Beach or Culebra, our captains may need to adjust the itinerary and visit an alternative location instead.
While we understand this can be disappointing and may not feel like the value you expected, these decisions are made with safety in mind and are sometimes unavoidable. We truly appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear that you found our crew and staff to be very helpful.
Thank you again for your honest review, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better sea conditions in the future.
Olaf_H, Dec 2025
Awesome! Make sure to book directly via the organization instead of here to save yourself the markup
jiechen_l, Dec 2025
The experience was decent, but we spent way more time sailing than actually enjoying the water. Because of the wind, we diverted from Flamenco to Culebrita. The first snorkel stop was too short (30 mins), and we had some issues anchoring at the second spot, leaving us with only 1 hour there. Wish we had more time to actually swim and explore.
Vidya_K, Dec 2025
Crew was awesome, taken care to everybit and made sure all covered to teir limits. Food and drinks non stop
Shastri_C, Dec 2025
Amazing crew, beautiful beach at Culebra Island, some rough waves on the way there so take motion sickness meds if you need it. Ride back was super relaxing.
Phoebe_B, Dec 2025
This crew is like none I have ever worked with before! The water was extremely rough. Unfortunately, it didn’t sit well with me and they were so kind, helpful and accommodating to try and make me feel better. Would absolutely take this tour again if we return to Puerto Rico!
