About This Adventure

Experience the stunning turquoise waters of Culebra as you snorkel among vibrant marine life, including stingrays and lobsters. After a thrilling guided session at beautiful reefs, unwind on the renowned Flamenco Beach. This adventure combines snorkeling, expert guidance, and relaxation for an unforgettable day in paradise.

Go Snorkeling in the Turquoise Waters of Culebra

Experience snorkeling in the breathtaking, beautiful white sandy beaches and warm, turquoise waters of Culebra. At less than 20 miles off the northeast coast of Puerto Rico, this seven by five-mile island nests one of its finest natural reserves for marine flora and fauna.

After 45 minutes on our high-speed powerboat, we arrive at one of Culebra’s beautiful reefs and anchor for about an hour and a half of snorkeling. Depending on the water conditions our captain may take you to Luis Pena, Carlos Rosario, or Melones for your Culebra snorkeling tour.

Grab your snorkeling gear (provided with tour) after receiving the “101” on how to snorkel, and enjoy watching stingrays, starfishes, lobsters, coral reefs and colorful fishes, while being guided by our certified professional tour guides. The reefs are one of the most productive ecosystems on the planet, making them the perfect place to explore while either snorkeling or scuba diving.

After a brisk, exciting snorkeling session or a wonderful walk along the shore, get ready to have lunch, followed by relaxing time on the world-famous Flamenco Beach. Occasionally due to water conditions, we may choose Culebrita, Playa Tortuga or another beautiful beach that will be best to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

For those that like to hike or take photos, Culebra’s Flamenco Beach has two old navy tanks that provide a lot of photographic opportunities.
