I mapped the location from the resort where I was staying, to the meet up location. I got a taxi to take us & we left with ample extra time to get to the location. Apparently there was an accident and our driver indicated that he was going to turn around and go another way, which would get us there right on the dot. However, route 2 was not panning out, as now other traffic also used that route. I emailed the company multiple times requesting if it was possible to move to next day. ZERO response. I texted the company phone number, requesting the same. ZERO response. I called before texting, no answer. I did this from the date of our reservation until into the afternoon the next day. Very, very disappointed, as their booking calendar showed availability for the following day, but no one would respond. So not only did we miss out on something fun, but we are out $250. Would not recommend whatsoever given the complete lack of communication. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Not only did we take the two person kayaks out for a 3 mile spin, but we learned about the importance of the mangroves, island history, Caribbean Hermit Crab (aka Soldier Crab) and the highly toxic Manchineel Tree (the deadliest tree on earth).

All in all, a great experience and I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable Ecotour. Thanks!

You can do an "encounter" for about $100 less, which is basically touching them. The "swim with" was $182 per person in June 2026. The kid loved it and I think it was worth the money. The basic entry fee was $29 per adult. The ocean park is on the small side. There were small exhibits of sharks, birds, and coral reef fish. The largest area is for dolphins. Parking is hard but when you pay for entry they give you a permit and there are special places reserved for permit holders. We ate at the restaurant, Nautilus 340, and it had a very good burger. Really nice char flavor. There's a gift shop (of course) and a snack shop. Overall, we had a good time. The basic park is not a whole lot to look at but with the add-ons it turned out to be a very nice afternoon.

When booking you may see another similar company. Make sure you select night kayak.com with he clear boats as it will make a big difference. because of the little light pollution, clear boats and the led lights, and the neon glow sticks they give you (complimentary) we actually got to see a lot! We saw plenty of sting rays, lots of tarpin, a school of fish, and 1 sea turtle. The water was super calm, and because of it we glided through the water very easily. You will be on the water for a solid hour, sight seeing, and at the same time getting a nice history of the island from some great tour guides. Our guides were Curtis and Denning. Very charismatic guys, a fun vibe, and were very attentive to all the guests to ensure everyone was having a good time and being safe. I loved the insight and history about the island. One hour and 20 minutes was just long enough and would definitely recommend.

You do not wear shoes in the kayaks and you will get wet. They warn you to not take anything with you (phone, shoes, etc.) that you do not want to lose or get wet. The guides are knowledgeable of the bioluminescent critters and are used to taking people out on the 8 pm tour. Don't expect to see things brightly glowing all around you, but you will see a lot of glowing upon movement and disturbance of the water. When you realize that you are actually seeing these things it's very cool! I decided not to take my phone because it is very difficult to get a good picture of the things that glow. There is a section that is a little choppy/wavy that may be strenuous to some. Overall, I would say it's fun and educational and to give it a try!

We…read morehad the pleasure of snorkeling with this family owned company and I wish I could have snorkeled with them an extra day! Laura, her husband, and their son Damian were passionate about what they do and I absolutely enjoyed my time with them. It was my first time snorkeling, so you can imagine it was a bit scary for me. However, Laura and her family made me feel safe. They helped me adjust my mask until it was perfect and always checked on me to ensure I was safe and having a good time. In addition, they take photos for you and point out the turtles, sting rays, puffer fish, and other rarities so that you don't miss them. They also take photos for you so you don't have to carry your own camera. Booking a round trip ferry ride with C.I.A. is convenient and saves you the hassle of waiting for tickets at Fajardo Ferry (separate review). Booking with them guarantees you a RT ticket; you'll receive a text with details on getting your tickets. When you get to Culebra, Laura meets you and drives you to Tamarindo Beach where the fun begins! For the SeaVenture package, you start off with a short kayak to your snorkeling destination. You snorkel for a while and then kayak back to shore. Here, you'll have a lunch provided to you by Laura and her family. There's fruit, juice, soda, water, and these amazing sandwiches that are seriously to die for! Laura says it's made of blended cheese, ham, and peppers (I should have asked for the complete recipe!). After lunch, you snorkel in a separate area where the beautiful turtles hang out! This was my favorite part! You will be informed as to how to behave around them to avoid scaring them away. After this excursion, Laura drives you to the famous Flamenco Beach and picks you up in an hour (depending on when you finish the SeaVenture). She takes you straight to the ferry and you're off to Ceiba! All in all, I would definitely snorkel with C.I.A. in the future!!

We found this tour quite by accident, they are a relatively new tour company and aren't as well…read moreadvertised. We checked the details of their excursions on their excellent website. I called them up to get some more details and make reservations. Damien Sr was very helpful in getting our ferry tickets even though we gave them a short notice. We needed transportation but ended up renting our own car, because they needed a min of 8 people to arrange transportation. Taxi is 20$pp, so paying 160$ for just the two us didn't make any sense. We were greeted by Laura at the Culebra terminal promptly on time. She drove us to Tamarind beach for snorkelling trip. The trip took a little while to start, we had to wait for some other guests to join us which a little bothersome as we were raring to go. Damien Jr explained the basics of kayaking and the tour details. The tour is split into two parts 1) Kayaking for 20 min to reach a good section of the reef and then snorkeling. 2) Snorkeling in another section to see the turtles and some coral reefs. They provided food/refreshments after we got back from the first section of the trip. They also took lots of pictures which was great. We saw a lot of fishes, sting rays, turtles, different kinds of corals. I would have liked to know more about the different kinds of fish and the coral that we saw. We spent a good amount of time in the water and after that Laura dropped us off at Flamenco beach. Flamenco beach was awesome, it has turquoise blue water and white sand, we spent around an hour at the beach. We left around 4 to catch the ferry back to Fajardo terminal. We had a great experience! Double thumbs up!
