Then it’s just 20 minutes to a deserted Culebra beach off the beaten path, where you’ll spend the rest of the afternoon swimming, snorkeling, beachcombing or sunbathing. (Underwater cameras and sunscreen are available for purchase on board.) Your captain will decide which beach is best, depending on weather conditions that day – most likely stunning Flamenco or a half-mile long beach on Culebrita, a tiny islet of the east coast of Culebra with outstanding views of St Thomas.

The best!! - This was my second time booking with east island excursions and they’re really great!! I booked a last minute excursion back in June with another company because east island was booked.. I was terribly sea sick and the crew that time had little empathy and almost made me feel like a nuisance and to blame by asking if I drank the day before etc. This time around with east island the ride out was rough so I got sea sick again unfortunately but their crew was unbelievably kind and went above and beyond for everyone that wasn’t feeling well. They really kept spirits high and almost acted as medics with the way they cared for everyone that was sick. We made it to Flamenco and it is beautiful.. very much worth it. The ride back was a lot calmer, so no one was sick. I must also note how organized east island is; they provide clear instructions on arrival times, parking locations etc. You need to get there on time [early], like they advise, to park, get checked in and get your flippers. There’s a lot of people and multiple boats so be prepared and on time. These excursions are not all created equal and East island is definitely worth the couple extra dollars for multiple reasons. Highly recommend!!

Relax and unwind - Even though it rained, we still had a great time. We got to Culebra and it was relaxed. You could snorkel if you wanted to or just relax and swim.

My Birthday on the sea with some little seating issues - Let's start with all the positive aspects of the trip. The organization at the marina was very good—parking, check-in, punctuality, friendly staff, clean and modern boat, and safety instructions were all well handled. However, our particular experience was affected by the boarding process. We were told that our seats were assigned with a number on our wristbands. Upon boarding, we were informed that our seats were outside, in the sun, on long benches typically used for sunbathing. Our group of four, along with three other couples, were seated there. Meanwhile, all other passengers were inside the boat, seated at tables with air conditioning.
When we asked why our seats were outside in the sun, we were told that the system assigns seats randomly. While other passengers were comfortably inside, we had to spend the entire trip outside in the sun.
During the journey, passengers who got seasick also came to our outdoor seating area to get some fresh air or vomit. This was another rather negative aspect of sitting in this area.
When we arrived at the first destination for snorkeling, the instructions were given in the exterior area, near our "seats," which was also the area where people jumped into the water and got in and out of the sea. As a result, all our seats, bags, towels, and shoes got completely wet. Additionally, other passengers decided to sit in our area because they wanted to sunbathe, which meant we were crammed with wet people throughout the return journey.
We found this "random distribution" unfair, especially since all passengers paid the same fare for their tickets. We don't know if there was overbooking, which led to not enough seats inside for everyone, but those of us who were assigned seats outside were unhappy about it.
We took this trip to celebrate my birthday and my best friend's husband's birthday. We were both a little disappointed when we encountered the inconvenience with our seats.
Aside from this major issue, we must also highlight that the overall experience, service, snorkeling plan, beach, food, and drinks were very good.
If we were to take another tour, we would request from the beginning that our seats be guaranteed inside the boat, and if we chose to sit outside, it should be our decision. The conditions should be equal for all passengers.
