Culebra

Beware....be sure to have prepaid ferry or airplane. We were told ferry tickets are available on the day of excursion. Not. Rarely if ever are the tickets available the day of. You'll be stuck out and wasted your time and money.

Bio Bay fun but unpredictable

The transportation was seamless. Our guides were helpful, friendly and knowledgable. We had fun even though our beach experience was clouded by rain. There was just barely sparkle in the bio bay which was really disappointing. This was the main reason for our visit to PR. We were warned by another tour company that there was reduced visibility of the dioflagallates in Fajardo. We read that the visibility was still very good in Vieques. I guess it is just unpredictable. At least we saw a sparkle.

Bad experience

Ferry tickets should be included when booking, there were 14 ppl en the van and none had tickets to the ferry on hand and the strange thing is that we all thought we had bought the ferry tickets when booking
