Fun crew! Great experience at Culebra. Guided snorkeling with care for reef. Got to visit Vieques as well as they tried to dodge the weather.

What an amazing day and what a great value for such an adventure. We were picked up at our hotel in San Juan and driven to the boat, with a stop at the shop to sign waivers, give our meal preference, and use the restroom. The boat was well maintained with a great crew. After about an hours ride we got to Flamenco Beach for the first stop. You do swim ashore (we were aware of that when we booked), but they accommodate you with a group dry bag (or bring your own). The swim to the beach is easy (seriously, I am an obese woman with a torn tendon in my arm and it was a piece of cake) and they have ocean noodles, floatation belts, and other flotation aids if you aren't a confident swimmer. You can snorkel at this stop, hang on the beach, paddle board, procure a beach side massage (if the massage people happen to be at the beach) and/or hike down the beach to take some great photos with the abandoned tank. We had enough time at this stop to both snorkel and walk down to the tank.
Then to stop two. We went to a different stop than originally planned, but this was awesome as the snorkeling was better where we went, it was fabulous. We saw stingrays and turtles and lots of amazing colorful fish. We happen to always bring our own gear, but the gear they provide is better than what I have seen with a lot of these tours.
Lunch was simple, but great and exactly what you expect for this kind of excursion. This boat doesn't have a kitchen or ways to keep food hot (normal for the kind of boat), so wraps with fruit and chips, soda, water.... They also served snacks later. At the end they served beers and Margaritas. Then we were transported back to our hotel.
This was an amazing adventure and an amazing value. If you want to see as much on as possible in the way of beaches and snorkeling, as well as a little of the military history that flavors the Puerto Rico experience, while still having a relaxing excursion, this isn't just an amazing experience, but also one of the best values I have ever encountered in these kinds of excursions.
I did read the reviews before I booked and after going feel those reviewers had unrealistic expectations, have never done these kinds of excursions before, or got hit with the bad luck of bad weather or things that the tour operator can't really control.
For a 10 hour excursion with transportation to and from, lunch, drinks, and two snorkeling opportunities, plus some chose your own adventure options (beach, paddle board, massage, abandoned tank), you would be crazy to not just book this!

Stop looking for snorkeling tours. This is the one!
I loved that we were the first people to arrive to Flamenco Beach and it was pretty much for ourselves until we left the shore.
The staff was friendly, very welcoming. They provide good music, cold drinks & tasty snacks.
The coral reef is BEAUTIFUL and they make sure your experience is safe and enjoyable.
It’s a great tour to relax & enjoy of the unique caribbean landscape. 100% recommended! I would definitely do it again 🌴

They canceled it due to weather & we’re supposed to contact me with other possible options, which they did not do. We were displeased. It is spring break, and we know things are busy. Will try to get a refund. Sigh.

The captain and staff were so friendly and made the experience amazing. There is a bathroom on boat. Lunch and snacks were good. They provide cocktails and other beverages. Me and my kids made some great memories. Flamenco beach was beautiful. My son saw a sting ray while snorkeling and lots of fishes

Flamenco beach is beautiful! Please be aware this trip is focused on visiting that beach, not snorkeling. I did not realize this, and was initially disappointed, but the beach and crewmember service 100% made up for it.
We had a very short snorkel period at a different Culebra location, lunch was served at the same time (and taken away after, so have to ratio your time). Then, they take away your snorkel gear, so you may not use it at the next location. Wonderful time on the beach, served us great drinks, but very very little snorkeling over the 6-8 hours. Worth it, just be aware this is mostly beach with a quick snorkel stop!

We were not able to go to flamingo beach .. the water was very rough .. crew was very good . It would be a really good trip on calmer water .

Ride on board of the BY THE WAY was a fantastic experience and full of breathing taking views. Culebra Island was beautiful.
