Canceled- disappointed

Lori_B, Jan 2023

Trip was cancelled by vendor on short notice. We were really looking forward to it and we’re really disappointed. Unable to rebook on the only other day they said was available.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

We understand the disappointment this cancellation has brought on you, and apologize for the inconvenience. This is indeed something that can happen on the tours that require minimums to operate. We wait until the day before to see if anyone else reserved, before proceeding to cancel. We have made sure the following disclaimer is available on the listing prior to booking, as well as in your voucher after booking. "Minimum amount of participants required in order to operate. There is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there are not enough passengers to meet requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative or full refund." Kind regards,

Amazing experience

Yuleide_H, Jan 2023

Amazing experience! They do everything they can to make your trip unforgettable. The snorkel teacher took some videos of turtles with my phone and that was amazing. Thanks to amerie, Donovan, and the other to amazing guys. We love it!

Seriously Relaxing and Fun Day

Colleen_G, Jan 2023

It was a bit of a drive to/from the marina, but lots of beautiful landscape to see. The boat ride was really fun, they played ísland music - but was not a “party-boat” atmosphere - just super chill which was what we were looking for. Flamenco Beach was basically empty when we arrived and was beach perfection. Turquoise water that doesn’t even look real! Light lunch and a beverage was provided, as well as some snacks. Snorkeling was really cool, and felt quite safe with our guides in the water and equipment was provided... We did see a sea turtle, barracuda, rays, and some tropical fish. It was surreal: I’d recommend this trip to anyone looking for something different to do! My daughter and I (40f) had a perfect and memorable day! August 2022

No full just Half to Vieques

Carlos_C, Jan 2023

I have mix feelings here. The full day Culebra tour was cancel last minute. Communication was not the best. Tour was reschedule to be half day to Vieques, great place, good team. If your target is Culebra I will consider other options.

Did not go to Flamenco beach

Tatjana_W, Dec 2022

Very friendly staff but we DID NOT go to Flamenco Beach. Apparently, the waves were too high and it wasn't safe to go. This is a great reason to not go, but the water conditions were known weeks before the departure date and no one notified us about the change of plans. In my opinion, way too expensive for not being able to see the main attraction that was advertised.

Trip was canceled due to...

Charles_C, Dec 2022

Trip was canceled due to surge. The lady that called was very nice! We hope next year we can enjoy the experience.

Amazing day!

LISA_R, Dec 2022

Amazing day! We were picked up at our hotel in San Juan, had a lovely morning ride to Flamenco Beach, took great lessons for a family of first-time snorkelers, and saw sea turtles, squid, fish, and an octopus. We highly recommend the tour!

Great excursion!

MaryJo_P, Oct 2022

Beach was gorgeous! It was an hour and 20 minute boat ride there and back but we’ll worth it. The crew was amazing! Thank you Juan, Christian and Freddie for a great time!

island of paradise

Grace_A, Oct 2022

Have fun

Wesley_L, Sep 2022

Great to have knowledgeable experts to pick the right beaches given the conditions after the recent hurricane. Proffesional and friendly staff.

Captain juan 👎

JoseDavid_A, Sep 2022

Everything was fine. The guy who picked us ip for the tour was a really nice person very friendly. fredy who was part of the boat crew also very nice with everybody..but the CAPTAIN juan.. 👎 had a really bad attitude and was very moody maybe he had a bad night or maybe he need a new job where he don’t have to deal with people or lil kids..

Tour was canceled the day before!

Julianna_H, Aug 2022

This experience was supposed to be the highlight of my trip but was canceled last minute. It was such a bummer for this to happen and not have the company offer any other experiences or recommendations.

Can’t comment tour was canceled

Giovanna_E, Aug 2022

I can’t really comment, the tour was canceled but I was informed in a timely manner and received a full refund

Excursion cancelled

raquel_v, May 2022

It was canceled the day before. I did not receive a message or call. They stated I did but I did not see any call come through or text. The only reason I found out was bc I contacted them an 1.5 hours before the time of the excursion. Was disappointed and waiting for a full refund. Still have not received.

Girlfriends Trip

Jacqueline_L, May 2022

It was a little scary at first because it was overcast and windy; however, once we got to the island it was beautiful & we enjoyed ourself.

Exceptional experience with the professional of Puerto Rico!

Emma_B, Apr 2022

Excellent staff, awesome views, exceptional experience on our wedding anniversary! Our dreams came true!❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕Thanks VIATOR!!!

Highly recommended boat trip

Ivone_W, Feb 2022

Great option to save time and to see two different places, plus snorkeling. They give you lunch but it's a small portion (a sandwich and chips plus soft drinks) so I recommend you to eat a good breakfast before leaving to this trip, it's a speed boat and a lot of people was getting sick. The experience was amazing, the staff is very knowledgeable and they communicate very well. It's fun and they have some chocoholic drinks and music on the way back. My husband and I had a great time, and would highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful beach, not worth the snorkeling

Hollie_H, Feb 2022

Flamenco beach was beautiful and well worth it. The snorkeling was rudimentary with poor equipment. There was to many people trying to stay together it was hard to not run into others. If you are looking for a great snorkeling experience then pick another tour or destination.

Great day excursion

Manuel_V, Jan 2022

Had a great time.. Flamenco beach was beautiful. We saw sea turtles, sting rays and a nursery shark snorkeling among other fish and sea life. We the crew was very nice and made sure everyone was safe and understood what we were doing. It was a great time I recommend this day excursion!

Pure Adventure is great

Bjrn_B, Dec 2021

Flamenco Beach was astonishing to see and the snorkling afterwards was great, too. The lunch was a bit light though, and some time (10 min perhaps) on the boat after lunch to just enjoy a drink or two would have been nice; felt a bit rushed at times. Even though we really enjoyed this experience and the whole day the price was a bit too expensive, unfortunately.

Worth every penny

Sarah, Sep 2021

I loved it all!! Worth every single penny spent! The staff was very accommodating and courteous and took care of everything. Did not like the lunch sandwiches because I am a vegetarian, looked like chicken to me though but rest was perfect. Snorkeling was life changing experience for me! Must try and I’ll book again!

Don’t waste your time or money! Book another tour to see Culebra

Danrobin, Sep 2021

Book another tour! There is no pier you have to swim to beach. Can’t take anything you don’t want to get wet. Not a beach trip it’s a boat ride/snorkeling trip. Falsely advertised beaches are NOT the main attraction. Tour should review the restrictions/details before 24hrcancellation period.

Bucket List

Michelle_C, Aug 2021

This is the second time I’ve done this tour. We didn’t get to Flamenco this time so that was a bit disappointing but I’m not sure if it made a difference to those who had never been. Just a tip: this is a snorkeling tour and you will be swimming in the open ocean. Many in our group were complaining that it was too tiring which was a bit ridiculous and also that they were getting wet on the boat. Sail there is choppy but that is part of the fun. Only negative was that the driver apparently had all the contact information mixed up and sent me a text for every other passenger on the tour leading me to believe the pickup location changed. Not sure what happened there but as we were leaving to go to the new location I noticed he was already parked in front of my building.

Perfect beach snorkel

Jenalee_H, Jul 2021

The beach time is short but we went for the snorkeling and saw turtles and stingray at the second location. This was by far the best beach we went to on our whole trip. The snorkeling there had beautiful fish. Don't miss out on snorkeling the reef because the second spot isn't at the reef and you will miss the beautiful fish if you don't go at the beach spot. The swim to the beach is fun and easy.

False advertising

Dilya_B, Jun 2021

False advertising off flamenco beach . We never reached the flamenco beach . Lunch was meager. The Culebra island was beautiful but the snorkeling place was not interesting .
