This tour was definitely worth it! We got to learn about corals, see a few turtles, and even a sting ray.
Our snorkeling guide, Jonathan did an amazing job! He was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone participated.

We had a great time as a family! The hosts that assisted us w/ snorkeling were fantastic showing us sea life and helping my six year old who has never snorkeled before overcome fear and by the end she was snorkeling right along with everyone. Only down side is that we’re staying in Old San Juan and to be in culebra for the ferry made for a long day (waking up at 6am) due to the hourish ride to the ferry and the 1.5 on Ferry. Flamenco Beach was BEAUTIFUL, and we also enjoyed our time there. (The ferry ride there was very rough, many people got sick, so like they mention in the description, take something prior to the ferry ride for motion sickness)
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great day! Wish they provided transportation from San Juan, but we pre-arranged a taxi and it worked out great. Perfect amount of time for each activity. Saw turtles, a shark & an octopus!

There was no tour. It got canceled. What frustrated us was that we were not told that the tour was canceled until we got early in the morning to the meeting point at the peer.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us regarding your recent experience, despite the disappointment caused by the tour cancellation.
We deeply regret any frustration caused by the cancellation, which was necessitated by adverse marine conditions posing a safety risk for water activities. Puerto Rico's tropical weather can be incredibly unpredictable, and unfortunately, conditions can worsen throughout the day or even within hours, making it challenging to cancel the tour the day before.
We understand the inconvenience of not receiving notification of the cancellation upon your arrival at the meeting point. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
To mitigate the impact, we provided ferry tickets so you could still explore Culebra, although not as initially planned. Additionally, we sent a weather update the day before the tour to inform you of the conditions and the possibility of cancellation on-site.
Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and we appreciate your understanding of the circumstances beyond our control. We continuously strive to enhance our services and communication procedures to provide a better experience for our customers.
If you need any assistance or would like to share any comments with us. Don't hesitate to reach out at 787-245-4545 or at our email info@kayakingpuertorico.com.
Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on a future tour under more favorable conditions

What a great experience! John and Kevin were excellent guides. They clearly explained how the day would flow, key points of each location, how the snorkeling equipment worked and kept the group moving. The pace of activities was excellent, enough time to enjoy where we were but not waiting around for the next activity. We were very fortunate to see turtles and so many types of fish. I would recommend this tour and Kevin and John in particular.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
