Swim with Turtles & Flamenco Beach – I Ventures Caribbean | Ferry | Guided Tour

Set your sights on Culebra Island, a jewel off Puerto Rico’s northeastern coast, where I Ventures Caribbean offers a standout full-day adventure combining snorkeling, beach hopping, and marine wildlife encounters. Known primarily for its unspoiled beaches and vibrant coral reefs, Culebra is a celebrated destination for those seeking both natural beauty and a hands-on ocean experience. This trip centers on two of the island’s crown jewels — Flamenco Beach and Tamarindo Beach — each offering distinct yet equally stunning coastal settings.

The journey begins at Ceiba Ferry Terminal where travelers board the public ferry for the roughly one-hour ride to Culebra. Upon arrival, I Ventures Caribbean seamlessly handles all logistics, including land transfers and premium snorkeling gear, allowing guests to focus entirely on the day ahead. First stop, Tamarindo Beach, is a sheltered cove famous for crystal-clear waters and thriving marine life, where snorkelers often find themselves sharing the sea with gentle hawksbill and green sea turtles gliding beneath the surface. The clarity of the water here invites long, immersive swims among coral formations, colorful tropical fish, and sea fans.

After snorkeling, the tour shifts to Flamenco Beach, a broad stretch of powdery white sand backed by rolling hills and shaded by swaying coconut palms. Widely regarded as one of the best beaches in the Caribbean, Flamenco delivers more than just picture-perfect shorelines — visitors often spot endemic birds like brown pelicans and the occasional reef shark cruising offshore. The pristine environment owes much to ongoing local conservation efforts and a slower pace of development compared to mainland resorts.

I Ventures Caribbean stands apart in the region for its organized, hassle-free approach and commitment to authentic experiences. By integrating local ferry transport and small-group snorkeling sessions, they provide a uniquely accessible way to experience Culebra’s coastal treasures. For anyone visiting Puerto Rico craving an active day filled with natural encounters, sun-soaked beaches, and underwater adventures, this trip provides both inspiration and a practical, well-supported itinerary that builds unforgettable memories without the guesswork.
