Louis was a fantastic tour guide! We were a group of 3 and wanted to go snorkeling in Culebra…read more Luckily I stumbled upon Louis Cayo Norte and immediately called him asking for availability. He was very responsive and answered all our questions clearly and honestly. The tour itself was fantastic; we learned more about Louis, Puerto Rican ppl, and the Puerto Rican culture! We felt like we were on a private island at Culebritas (literally were since we were almost the only ppl there) and loved that it was a very intimate experience. Louis gave us time to explore the other beaches on the island (almost felt like a mini hike) - including one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (more beautiful than Flamenco!). He gave us plenty of time to snorkel among the coral reefs nearby. Highly recommend thank you again for the experience! - Sirene, Jon, & Athena

WOW! This was one of my favorite lifetime experiences. It's worth the effort to get to Culebra to…read moreexperience the SEAVenture Tour with Culebra Island Adventures. Starting from the beginning: You need to take a ferry from Fajardo to Culebra to access the tour. CIA makes sure that your ferry tickets are reserved in advance. (When you arrive at the ferry terminal in Fajardo, you will quickly realize that this is CLUTCH. The ferry terminal is an absolutely disorganized hot mess.) I would recommend arriving at least an hour early. Even though you get to skip the very long line of people waiting to buy tickets, it's still a bit confusing to find the correct (shorter) line and get your tickets. Damian, one of our tour guides, was in touch with us consistently by text message to make sure we got our tickets and boarded the ferry. The ferry ride is about an hour long, and please prepare in advance if you get seasick, and bring your sunscreen and hat! It's a rough ride over to Culebra. The way back is far smoother. I would recommend getting a seat on the top and toward the middle, under the awning. That way you get a cool breeze and still enjoy the views without getting splashed by ocean water. That being said....all of this is more than worth it to experience the untouched beauty of Culebra. The waters are a clear, turquoise blue. Laura greeted us at the ferry terminal in Culebra and immediately took us on a brief walk to the van. We took a short ride to Tamarindo Beach, where the tour began. My husband and I appreciated the efficiency and the fact that NO time was wasted on the tour. It was extremely well-organized. We had a relatively small group of folks. Damian gave us a thorough explanation of the tour agenda (kayak, snorkel over one reef, return to shore for snack, more snorkeling, trip to Flamenco Beach.) This was the first time I have had a tour guide explain how to kayak in detail. Damian's tips were very helpful in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable kayak ride. We snorkeled over a beautiful coral reef for about 45 minutes and saw a puffer fish, eels, and vibrantly colored coral and fish. If you follow the guide (Laura) closely, you won't miss any of the wonderful marine life! We then returned to the shore by kayak for a delicious snack (homemade ham and cheese sandwiches, chips, apples, soda/water.) Then came the highlight of the tour--swimming with the sea turtles! We walked into the water directly from the beach this time. It wasn't long before we spotted several turtles, and they are a sight to behold. These gentle giants will allow you to swim directly over top of them and alongside them, making for excellent photo opportunities. This was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Speaking of photos, Laura chronicled our journey in detail using her underwater camera. Within days, she posted almost 400 pictures of our snorkeling tour on Facebook. We were able to download photos directly from Facebook for free. The pictures are AMAZING. This is one of the best perks of the tour! I love that they weren't trying to make us pay an extra $10 per picture, which they easily could have done. The last stop on our tour was the stunning and serene Flamenco Beach. Ahhhhhhh. The sand is white, the water is crystal blue, and it's not crowded. My husband loved body-surfing in the huge waves. We were able to purchase some beers at the refreshment area, and we sat on our towel and enjoyed the scenery. I would do this tour again and again if I could. It was so well-organized, the guides were knowledgeable, and the price is very reasonable. Make the effort to do this if you are in Puerto Rico! Thank you, Damian and Laura!

Ann and Taz were nice enough to accommodate us even though it was a fairly slow day (and Ann was…read morefeeling under the weather). We were given a lot of personal attention and the ride was amazing to say the least. The view above water and under water were breathtaking in their own ways. We saw a lot of coral on the reefs (that haven't yet died because of bleaching... but sadly it is more prevalent that we would've liked) and colorful fish and even reef sharks. The spots we were taken to were exclusive too. We were pretty much the only people there to enjoy the glassy water and a deep blue ocean with a coral ecosystem so beautiful that our camera cannot do it justice. Taz was a great captain and had lots of interesting stories to share. All in all, this was an amazing experience. I would recommend - just remember to allot a bit more time because, you know, island time.

Worst. Diving. Experience. Ever…read more I found Taz to be impatient, insulting, and more interested in hunting down lionfish than making sure his clients enjoyed themselves or, more importantly, were safe. I went out for two dives with Taz. I'm still a very new diver, and I explained to him that one of my ears needed extra time to clear during the descent. Because of this, and a problematic mask, it took me several attempts before I was down on the sea floor the first time. He was clearly out of patience by the time this happened. Then, thanks to him underweighting me (even though I told him I had worn more weight during all my other dives), I found myself on a runaway ascent to the surface halfway through the dive. Scariest experience of my life!!! And it was very dangerous too--I could have caused serious damage to my lungs. Taz tried to blame it on me, but later grudgingly acknowledged I probably should have been weighed down more. He never apologized though. On a side note, lunch was nothing to write home about. Ham and cheese sandwiches and chips. The bread was stale. If you value your health and safety: Stay away. Far away.

We had 5 people on our private tour, 3 experienced snorkelers and 2 newbies, one of whom was 10 years old and VERY anxious. They took their time and stayed with us, one in the water and one watching from the boat with survival gear at all times. We all felt safe and had fun. Everything was just perfect. We did what we wanted on our own timetable without being rushed. The kids connected their music by Bluetooth and they had a great time. If you have a group of about our size, this is your BEST choice! Absolutely fantastic! BTW, we got great photos and video of the snorkeling on the gopro, but I don't have them on my phone to post. Still, bring a gopro when you snorkel. The videos will be great!

When in Puerto Rico, support local! Miguel, boat owner and captain, and his gf are two of the best…read morepeople you'll ever meet! We booked with Miguel for a half day yacht outing for a bachelorette party and it couldn't have gone better! During booking, Miguel was so patient and was able to accommodate our whole party, even when we had a booking mishap and he had to send our booking offer multiple times. As soon as we booked, Miguel sent us a text thanking us and giving us super detailed instructions. The boat - ya'll the boat! The boat was so spacious, comfortable, and clean with ample seating and a bathroom with shower downstairs. As soon as we boarded, Miguel took us to Icacos, where the water was crystalline clear and the sand pristine. It was such a vibe - he let us connect and play our music, and Miguel and his gf were rocking out with us. When we anchored at the island, Miguel started taking out all the goodies from the boat! We had life jackets for the girls who couldn't swim, thick noodles for floatation, snorkel gear to see the fishes, and a giant floatation mat connected to the boat for sunbathing! And then the heavy gear came out - we were so confused when we saw a drone flying near us. It turns out Miguel has a drone he uses to capture footage of the trip that he sends to you in near real time! It was increeeeedible! Miguel's girlfriend is also such a photographer - she took the best angles and even gave us posing tips! During our outing, they surprised us with the best food - we had a charcuterie with cheese, cold cuts, fruits, chips and the best guacamole I've ever had! They also gave us made-to-order burgers - we had salmon, beef, and vegetarian patties as options! I opted for the salmon burger and it was the best I've ever had. Seared to perfection with a self-serve bar of condiments and toppings. The actual best after swimming for so long! Miguel was so great to talk to - we had a conversation about yachts and the cost and upkeep, as well as how the industry is run in PR. You can tell how much Miguel loves sailing by the way he talks about it - he's so passionate, caring, and an absolute delight to talk with. I also have to stop to give special kudos to Miguel's gf! One of our girls got super seasick, and Miguel's girlfriend literally held her hair back for her and gave her dramamine to help with the nausea. I ended up with a huge cut on my foot and she had waterproof bandages and disinfectant at the ready! She really felt like one of the girls and was such an incredible human. In case it isn't crystal clear like the waters of Icacos, Utopia Tours PR is legitimately a slice of utopia. You won't regret coming out - Miguel puts in so much effort and love into every booking, and it shows. If I could give 10000000 stars I would, legit the best yachting experience I've had!

If you want to count on a trip, don't book with these guys. We eloped to Puerto Rico last week and…read moremy husband booked the "Luxury Sunset Cruise" for Saturday night 4/25, the week before. We received a call late Friday afternoon telling us they had to cancel because they did not get enough people to book!? What? They offered us to go on the earlier snorkel trip, but we already had plans in the afternoon in Luquillo and both of us wear glasses and do not snorkel. I called all the other sunset sails in the area and of course they were all booked up for a beautiful Saturday night. But these guys couldn't fill their boat? Honestly, it sounded like a bullshit excuse. It was a serious disappointment in an otherwise amazing trip to PR. If I were you I would try Salty Dog, Spread Eagle II, East Island Excursions, etc.

Captain Judi was very clear and personal with her communications before our tour date. She made contact with me via e-mail at least 3 times before we even got to Vieques. This made me feel so at ease so we didn't feel like we were going to meet some stranger and go out on their boat. During our boat ride, she and Katie were so friendly and personable. Judi gave a very in-depth and enthusiastic overview of all the fish and wildlife we were going to see on our snorkel. I really appreciated this, knowing what to expect and look out for. Of course, we had a couple bonuses that she pointed out during our snorkel including a lion fish and a gigantic puffer fish! She continuously checked to make sure that all members of our snorkeling party were accounted for, comfortable and having a good experience. It's the little things that matter when taking a trip like this. We were never without a drink whether it was water, juice, soda or a fantastic and tasty pina colada! They even served these drinks in high quality cups with tops and straws so you didn't have to worry about spilling (alcohol abuse!). You can definitely tell that Captain Judi takes a lot of pride in what she does and is totally professional and fun. She has a great passion for the reef and the wildlife that is contagious! We went home and did research on some of the fish we saw this day and on other days. There was SO MUCH to see! Lunch was served after our snorkel and was delicious. I've never been on a snorkel that served food and I have to say it was such a great touch. After swimming around in the water, we were definitely hungry! On the way back, we took advantage of the ride on the front of the catamaran on the "trampoline" up front and had a BLAST! Overall, totally great experience. We couldn't have asked for a better day out on the boat with such a great tour company and host!

She kept an eye on all of us (small group only 4!) and was super-vigilant about making sure our masks were on right and weren't fogging. She also carries a whistle that you can hear underwater and would call us over for any particularly cool fish she spotted. We saw 2 huge (HUGE) puffer fish amongst a ton of other good stuff. Lunch was delicious and so were the home made pina coladas. I would go again in a heartbeat.

He was there for every single ride we needed, always on time, professional, and incredibly personable. But beyond that, he brought the energy, the laughs, the best music and the best vibes! He wasn't just a driver--he became a true friend to all of us. Keith made sure we felt safe, cared for, and stress-free the entire trip. He had the best recommendations, helped us plan our outings, and even surprised us with Puerto Rican souvenirs we'll cherish forever!! He even handled our chaotic airport departures--everyone had different flight times, one friend's flight was delayed until 4 AM, and Keith still showed up with a smile, ready to take her 30+ minutes back to our Airbnb.
