Aquafari Day Trip Details
Itinerary
1. KAYAKING IN PARADISE
Tamarindo Beach is located on the west coast of Culebra. Upon arrival, our eco guides will give you complete pre-ride instructions.
Our Aquafari begins with a kayaking excursion through the calm waters of the Luis Peña channel. This is one of the most important marine reserves in Puerto Rico. It has the highest coral cover in the island. Plus, it is the feeding ground of sea turtles! This stunning marine reserve is full of life. Enjoy the breathtaking views along the way: inside and outside of the water!
2. THE BEST SNORKELING IN CULEBRA
Get ready to explore the underwater marine reserve. Put on your premium-quality snorkeling gear. Jump off your kayak and dive into the vibrant waters of Culebra. Your eco guides will lead the way. Swim among schools of colorful tropical fish and coral formations. Get ready to spot green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles. There is no other place in Puerto Rico where you can enjoy this experience!
3. WAIT, WE ARE JUST STARTING!
Our kayaking excursion continues along the reserve’s craggy shoreline. Watch the coral gardens and the fish below. We will take a relaxing break, complemented by light snacks and cold refreshments. Enjoy the beach’s clear blue water. Our eco guides will share Culebra’s peculiar history and the feeling of the island’s untouched ecosystems. A second snorkeling session follows at a great coral reef near the beach.
4. LAST STOP: FLAMENCO BEACH!
Back on our kayaks, we will calmly paddle back to Tamarindo Beach. After a quick refreshment, we will head to our last stop: Flamenco Beach. Ranked as the second most beautiful beach in the world, no one should ever leave Culebra without visiting Flamenco!
For about one hour and a half, you will be free to enjoy this unique place. Have lunch at one of the local restaurants and kiosks. Later, your guides will take you back to the airport or ferry terminal. There, you will take the trip back to San Juan Airport or Ceiba Ferry Terminal, while enjoying the views of Puerto Rico’s eastern coast at sunset.
