4.8 / 5

based on 291 reviews

We were not able to go to Culebra due to rough seas. We went to an island closer to Fajardo and the marina. Boat ride was probably 20-25 minutes. It was still fun and the crew was fantastic. Snorkeling was average. Company credited back some money due to the itinerary change. It was a good way to get out on the water and we enjoyed the day.

The trip was fun, beach and snorkeling sites were beautiful, and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. I have no complaints!

Guides Diego and other team members were really friendly and made our entire trip really pleasant and memorable. It was worth it

Crew and staff were friendly and very accommodating. Safety was always a top priority as well as comfort.

Very nice experience! Beautiful waters and nice beaches!
