Enjoy the pure beauty of the Island. - We were not able to make it to Culebra due to weather, so we visited Vieques. It was a beautiful beach and very nice snorkeling. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would do this every day if I could. We saw an octopus, sea turtles, sharks, stingrays and many different species of fish.

Culebra done well - this group is very well prepared and was able to anticipate our needs. we went to culebra and snorkeling. The guides knew exactly where it was safe and able to maximize our coral reef snorkeling experience… they even took the brunt of handling jellyfish away from us and got stung so much!
I recommend them with no reservations to anyone.

Culebra with the best local guides - Freddie, Victor and Juan are a heck of a team! We arrived at beautiful Culebra where they explained the places of interest to explore. After which we went to a snorkeling spot where there were some jellyfish… we thought the snorkeling was ruined but they reassured us that it would be ok. And it was! We went in and we navigated the jellyfish, with Freddie and Victor making sure everybody was safe. Very cool experience!

Marine life and crystal clear waters!!! - The boat tour to Culebra was the best!We were there before any other boats and we were able to enjoy the beach and ammennities (paddleboards) that they havve to offer. The crew was helpful and knowledgeable. When it was time to snorkel, our spots had jellyfish and Captain Luis offered to take us somewhere else. We ended up at Sandy Point, Vieques and it was amazing. We saw many turtles, a huge stingray and many other sea animals. Victor and Felix took care of us in the water pointing our marine life as they guide us. We experince the best of the two islands, thank you crew!!

Flemenco beach & snorkeling - Our trip was very well organized. After we checked in, they provided clear directions as to what to expect - how long the boat will have to travel to Flamenco Beach, where we would snorkel, etc. The crew were wonderful and hospitable. They guided our snorkeling and provided expert knowledge of the area and the wildlife. The food and drink selection was great! I highly recommend booking your snorkeling tour with Pure Adenture PR.

Great way to see and experience Culebra - Great way to see and visit Culebra! Ferry tickets were sold out so after a bit of research found this tour and I’m so happy I went with it. The crew was great and you get to relax on the boat to and from Culebra which is about an hour each way. We went on the 8:00 am tour so the beach was still fairly empty. When you get there Culebra is absolutely gorgeous. Once we arrived we got to go to shore on our own and hang out on the beach for about an hour - 1.5 hours which was a pretty good amount of time but if we were able to spend 45 min- 1 hour more I think that would be more of the perfect amount of time to spend there. Once that time was up we got back on the boat and ate lunch which included a sandwich and chips (you choose what kind of sandwich you want for lunch when you first arrive at check in). We then took a short trip to the reef part of the island to snorkel. We’ve never really snorkeled before and the crew were very helpful in making sure our equipment was on correctly. We only saw some small fish while snorkeling unfortunately so I was a bit disappointed in that part especially after reading some of the other reviews but can’t really fault for them for that. Snorkeling was about 30-45 min and then we got back on the boat at which point they served beer and I think there was one other alcoholic option and allowed people to jump off the boat into the ocean. They also offer transportation to and from Old San Juan to Fajardo which is where the boat landing is. This was especially helpful for us because we were staying in OSJ which is a good hour plus from Fajardo and we did not rent a car plus the pick up location was a two min walk from our hotel. This is extra however they charge an extremely great rate for this transportation especially compared to what private transportation companies in that area charge for the same route. Also the driver was very nice and stopped at a local bakery on the way there so we could grab something to eat as pick up was at 6:00 AM and we had not had any breakfast. Yes this is a lot more than the ferry but when you factor in the great crew, that it’s a relaxing, enjoyable boat ride, includes snorkeling, lunch and drinks and the very competitively priced round trip transportation I would say it’s worth it and was perfect for me personally since I prefer the multiple “adventures” this tour provided vs just laying on the beach or hanging in the water all day.
