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.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any confusion regarding ferry ticket availability. We always strongly encourage guests to secure prepaid ferry or flight tickets in advance, as same-day tickets at the port are limited and managed directly by the ferry authority. Please reach out to us directly so we can review your booking.
The driver was very knowledgeable and a safe driver. Super helpful In many way and welcoming. I would recommend him every time
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad our driver provided a knowledgeable, helpful, and safe experience for your transport. We appreciate your recommendation!
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.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad our transportation made your day seamless and fun, though we understand your disappointment with the bio bay brightness on that night. Nature can be unpredictable, but we appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon!
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
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding ferry tickets. Our listing details what is included, but we understand how frustrating this situation was. We are actively reviewing our description to make ticket guidelines even clearer. Please feel free to reach out to our team directly so we can discuss this further.
I cancelled the trip, no ferry tickets available to go to Culebra and ride had to be cancelled cancel please
We're really sorry to hear that you couldn't secure ferry tickets for Culebra! We hate that it ended up throwing a wrench in your plans. Safest travels!
Make sure you reserve tickets to culebra WAY in advance! We got lucky but the others with us did not and had to go to Vieques. The driver was professional and safe. He also waited for us when the ferry arrived past schedule.
Really appreciate the solid advice about booking those ferry tickets early! So glad our driver kept you safe and made sure you were looked after even when the ferry schedule got a bit off. Safe travels!
It was great and safe! I was solo traveling and didn’t have any problems.
Solo traveling can be an adventure in itself, so we're thrilled to hear your trip to the Ceiba Ferry Terminal was smooth, safe, and problem-free. Safe travels on your next journey!
Pretty stress free overall, great way to see beautiful island of Culebra. Shuttle bus picks you up near your Airbnb/hotel and will drop you off at ferry. Ferry ride is quite cold inside so wear layers.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us Gabi! We're glad we were able to provide a stress free way to enjoy the beauty of Culebra. See you next time!
Transportation was great! Great communication- easy and efficient. The PM driver on the way back from the beach, blasted electronic music from this huge speaker. Not the vibe after a long relaxing day, gave me the worst headache I was sick rest of the night. He also blasted the AC, which made everyone uncomfortable because they were in beach clothes. If you’re a driver, your job is to ensure everyone is comfortable. Small Details matter. Other than this, great trans portion, easy pick up and hassle free.
Hey Elisa, thanks for sharing your experience with us! We're glad you found communication to be seamless, and are sorry to hear that the ride home left room for improvement. Please feel free to reach out to our main office, we'd be happy to discuss more with you. Thanks for joining us and we hope to hear from you!
The driver was great! Flamenco Beach in Culebra is stunningly beautiful! It is said to be one of the prettiest beaches in the world.
Hey Danielle, thanks for the kind words about the crew, and we're happy to hear you enjoyed Flamenco Beach. It really is an incredible sight and we love being able to share it with our guests. Thanks again for sharing and we hope to welcome you back soon!
