Great hospitality. Had a wonderful experience with them. We went snorkeling and then to a beach on another island. Lunch and snacks were provided. Prices are very reasonable. The crew was so kind and passionate about their jobs. Loved the experience overall!

I was recommended this tour by some friends and had the pleasure of enjoying the most awesome experience on a day tour I’ve ever had. The check in process was flawless, the boat very clean and organized. We even got to meet the owner who was really nice and professional.The staff is really fun, extremely friendly and detail oriented. This was not your common “touristic” tour it was definitely high level hospitality.I come to Puerto Rico a lot and love day trips to the smaller islands and especially Culebra. I’ll be sure to come back and I recommend this experience to anyone visiting the east side of PR.

Wonderful op and very accommodating. Did there all inclusive snorkel and beach tour. Boat is big enough that the open ocean crossing wasn’t bad at all. Felt comfortable even with my 4 and 7 year olds. Beach stop was amazing. Drinks were good and the food was perfect for a beach day.

Our trip with Caribe Bliss was the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico. The boat and gear are maintained very well, the instructions were clear, the guidance was awesome, the rum drinks were great, and the music played on the boat was well enjoyed (really tied the trip together). I am a Wisconsin native not accustomed to the sea or snorkeling (I am an avid boater/fisherman/water sportsman on lakes and rivers, however), but I felt safe the entire trip. The crew, especially the captains, were well versed with the sea and one even told interesting stories of multiple week sea sailing trips. They know what they are doing for any cynics considering this trip. The trip is definitely worth it and takes you to places that would be hard to access as a typical tourist to Puerto Rico. Flamenco Beach offered one of the most beautiful beaches I have come across as well as the clearest, bluest water. This was my first trip to Puerto Rico and first time snorkeling. I am glad that we purchased the trip. 10/10 would recommend.

Caribe Bliss far exceeded our expectations. Right from the start, we noticed the boat is meticulously maintained. 20 years ago I was in charge of a 50 scenic cruiser boat and my hardworking crew wasnt able to keep our boat as well as Caribe Bliss. At the dock, Ken gives a great safety speech and a bit about what to expect on the journey. It is an open craft and so the seas can play a role so you should be prepared to get wet - but they explain all of this very clearly. Theres a bath (head) on the boat that is spotless and works well. After the ~50min boat ride to an island that is nothing short of paradise on earth, they gave us a safety spiel on snorkeling and we have a fantastic time snorkeling around the reef with their well-maintained equipment. The crew is super friendly and gives an exhaustive briefing before every activity. Of course, one jerk on our trip stood on the reef despite numerous warnings not to do so - I note that a negative review stated that someone cut their knee on the reef. As far as were concerned Caribe Bliss could not have been clearer that the reef should be treated with caution and should not be touched.The last stop at Flamenco beach is so much fun we just wish we could have stayed longer!We could not speak more highly of the crew and owner and would recommend this outing for anyone interested in a short jaunt to one of the best beaches in the world.

19 members of our group met at Puerto Del Rey Marina around 9 a.m. and were greeted by the owner, Ken, and Captain Galdy and his crew. Couldnt have asked for a better crew. Safety was top priority. After going through the guidelines and rules required of guests, we were treated to a memorable day of food, drinks, and fun at Cayo Icacos. Our every whim was provided for. I loved the open deck and thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the upper deck with Captain Galdy. The sea was a bit rough that day but I never questioned our dedicated crew. Once we arrived at Icacos, we had an amazing time. It really was CARIBE BLISS. Everything was provided for an all day adventure. Snorkeling was fabulous. Im an avid snorkel fan and greatly appreciated the crews request that, as guests of an uninhabited reef island, we respect our surroundings. As I was gearing up I overheard another chartered boat advising guests to be safe and have fun while snorkeling. This other boat failed to inform disrespectful guests to avoid standing/disturbing an endangered reef. Those guests did as they chose; clueless to the potential destruction that they could possibly be unleashing. I gained further respect for CARIBE BLISS for being informed. Excellent accommodations. Zero worries. Extreme fun!! I recommend CARIBE BLISS because while cruising the waters one is not locked inside a cabin. You can enjoy the open waters and fresh air. To me, getting there is part of the experience. I want to feel the wind in my hair, smell and feel the salty sea air. This was a perfect island excursion. Had the ultimate party. Music, food, drinks, floats, snorkel gear provided. Most importantly, this crew is so friendly and every whim is filled. I will definitely call on CARIBE BLISS for my next island adventure. Gracias, mates!!

Perfect day in Puerto Rico made better by this outstanding crew. The boat was spotless and comfortable, the food and drinks were great, the beach was beautiful, but it was really the customer service that made our day so special. They thought of everything, right down to the floating bar as we swam around. We can’t wait to go back again!

We took the boat trip to Culebra with snorkeling and then over to Playa Flamenco. The boat crew was excellent they were informative and fun. We went snorkeling on a reef and had lunch when we got back on the boat. Then a quick ride to Flamenco. We swam from the boat to the beach in the clear warm water. The beach is about a mile long crescent of beautiful white sand. At the far end from where our boat anchored there is a WW II tank. It is rusting away but is decorated in local graffiti. This is a top rated beach in the world and it stands up to that rating. After returning to the marina we had dinner at the resturant there for a perfect day. This boat trip is worth it, they take care of everything for you. You need to show up with a towel and sun screen.

So, have never written a review for any company. But, I have to say that Kevin, Darlene and the staff aboard The Tortuga were AMAZING! If you want to snorkel and enjoy a beach day at Culebra Island, these people are the way to go. Very helpful, funny, food was good. Fantastic experience.

Review №14

The attentive captain and crew go out of their way to ensure that everyone has a safe and yet splendid experience, whether zipping out on a paddle board to help our 7-year old snorkel or reassuring us that going to Icacos Island instead of Culebra (due to ocean conditions; happens sometimes) is still a worthwhile trip (it sure is). What a clean boat the Tortuga is, and what a friendly and fun experience they offer. Food and drinks were excellent and we felt like we got a huge taste of PR ocean life as part of our trip. A fellow tourist recommended them to me and I’m already recommending them to others. They truly take care of everyone, and as a small business, need our recommendations and tourist dollars. Our trip was on 2/20/20 and was truly worth it!

Caribe Bliss Snorkel & Beach Tour to Culebra was amazing! The lady that helped us over the phone was actually one of the owners. She was so nice and helpful. She even helped us find a Bio Bay tour with another company whom she knew. Her husband (the other owner) and her ran a really professional operation. The boat was immaculate, the drinks were on point, snorkel gear all new and clean, and last but certainly not least the staff was extremely awesome! And this is coming from the guy who wanted a private boat tour for my wife and I and didnt like the idea of being on a boat with 15-20 other people...Plenty of room between the top deck and the open air bottom deck. The day couldnt have been better, highly recommended.

Great attentive crew. Paying a little extra for a smaller crowd was ideal. The vessel is meticulously maintained and is very obvious. Thanks to everyone on the team We had rain most of the day and it couldn’t have mattered any less! Water and conditions were great

Flamenco beach is spectacular. However, this review is not about the beach. Caribe Bliss Ocean Tour had to provide these things: (1) boat ride to the location, (2) sandwiches and drinks (3) snorkeling (4) boat ride backBoat ride to the location: Dont know if the sea was extra choppy but seawater was hitting those seated towards the rear during most of the ride. It was very uncomfortable, with the salty water stinging the eyes and clothing soaked to the skin.Sandwiches and drinks: average fareSnorkeling: The crew should have provided better instructions. Some of the newbies had their knees bloodied on the reefs because they didnt know any better.Boat ride back: I went on the upper deck, thinking that I wont get hit with so much water. It was BRUTAL. Felt like Im in some kind of storm. Seawater was hitting me relentlessly the whole one-hour ride back. Had to sit with both hands clutching on to the railings as the boat lurched in the choppy sea, throwing water on to everyone. At times I was wondering hows this even legal? Is this a pleasure ride? Ridiculous. A beautiful day out to Culebra was totally ruined by a miserable hour-long boat ride each way.

One word: Amazing!The crew was professional and friendly and made sure that everything was in check. The boat was extremely clean and looked good as new! The first stop at snorkeling and the second stop at the beach were well worth the price they charge. In addition, the sandwich lunch that have is filling and enough to tie everyone over (in addition to the bartender and drinks). This trip is great for a fun day out with friends and family and I 100% recommend it to others looking for a fun day in Puerto Rico. If I ever come back to Puerto Rico, this will definitely be on my to do list!!

Don’t look any further for an excursion to Culebra. What an amazing experience. I cannot say enough about my trip. 1. The boat was pristine, immaculate and extremely well kept. 2. The Captain and his crew were uber professional. Attentive to everyone’s needs. Always checking on everyone during the excursion, making sure everyone was safe, had what they needed, following directions, enjoying themselves. I just cannot say enough about the crew. 3. The lunch was perfect. Just right,a nice display of cold cuts with a pasta salad beautifully displayed. Then after swimming cut fruit and chips and salsa and finally cookies for everyone to leave with. 4. The bar was open and available from the time you stepped foot on the boat. Not only could you get something to drink but the crew consistently asked if you needed something to drink or if you needed water. 5. The snorkeling was phenomenal. They made sure everyone was accommodated. 6. When we arrived at the beach to swim and relax, the captain would bring drinks out on a float to everyone all while making sure everyone was safe and accounted for. He and his crew made sure everyone had a good time and provided a varied musical playlist to get things going.I cannot day enough about my experience. DO NOT BOOK ANY OTHER EXCURSION TO CULEBRA OTHER THAN WITH CARIBE BLISS!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Captain Kens boat was leased to carry a group of us to a nearby island for some environmental work. We were on Kens boat the Tortuga daily for 3 weeks. From day one I was impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the entire Crew. The Tortuga is a modern boat with all the latest safety equipment and is kept spotless clean and well maintained. Captain Ken is a highly trained sea Captain with much experience in much larger boats and ships. I have vowed to come back on vacation and take a cruise on the Tortuga. If you want a safe boat, an experienced Captain, friendly Crew this is it, you will not be disappointed!Thanks!

Very overpriced boat trip ($125 including taxes and transportation after a partial refund for bad weather) with only OK snorkeling and bad food.- The weather was rainy so visibility underwater was poor. And the ride was really choppy with lots of rolling and pitching. No one got sick though.- The whole day included only 1 snorkel stop! The other 2 stops were beaches.- The captain was blasting reggaeton so loudly my ears hurt and I had to ask to turn it down.- We went to Icacos instead of Culebra which was fine as it’s beautiful island and was the highlight for me but I could only see some tropical fish in the reef. Probably because of the weather.- There is no guide, only boat staff. They don’t tell you anything about the nature - the preserve, the fish, islands, etc. Seems like a big lost opportunity to educate visitors and gain appreciation of the nature. I didn’t get why they paid 3 boat staff- The cold cuts and snacks were as cheap as they get. For the price of the trip, I feel there should have been better food.- I did appreciate that they automatically refunded a quarter of the price because the bad weather prevented us from going all the way to Fajardo.

The trip from start to finish was well organized and the crew were all very accommodating and professional. The snorkeling site they chose was incredible and not rushed at all. We got to eat and enjoy a delicious spread of food to make sandwiches and eat pasta. The boat remained clean the entire tour. Once we embarked to Culebra we did have to swim to the beach which did take some effort. So I highly suggest that if you’re not a great swimmer or have any physical difficulty to swim you may have trouble getting to the beach; however, every one on our boat swam just fine and this was not atypical compared to other boats in the area.The beach was absolutely gorgeous, so gorgeous that my now fiancé decided to propose to me on the boat! What a beautiful surprise it was for me and the whole crew helped him by giving us a moment of privacy before others got back onto the boat and they even captured the entire experience on camera! I was thrilled!

I recently went to Puerto Rico after 12 years. I decided to take my best friend on a fun adventure and we ended up doing the culebra tour. I am so glad we had these guys. They were fun, made sure we had everything we needed. Lunch was way better than I expected. The drinks were awesome, I would give them more stars if I could.

The excursion and crew were fantastic. Some of the best sites I saw while in Puerto Rico. Definitely invest in some Dramamine though if you’re prone to motion sickness - it’s a long ride to Culebra!

Captain Kenneth and his crew are Angels on Earth! Caribe Bliss was the only boat ( that I know of) to travel 3 hours there and back on bumpy water, leaving their families behind, to come rescue people off the destroyed island of Tortola right before being hit by another hurricane. If it werent for Caribe Bliss (and Doug Hatch), there is no way to know when we wouldve been able to get home. Everyone made me feel protected and loved during one of the scariest moments of my life and for that Im forever grateful.Although Hurricane Irma has come and gone, I will NEVER forget how absolutely phenomenal and heart-warming this crew and everyone in connection to them were to all of us. All the way to Kenneths amazing, beautiful, caring and compassionate spouse and mother, to the chefs that fed us the most DELICIOUS hot food we hadnt had in days, to the guys that drove us, in the middle of the night, to shelter that had already been arranged when we made it to shore. I can truly go on an on about everything this crew did for a few strangers they had just met, but the main point I want to make is that this company is not your average tour boat, they are Life Savers!Although this review may not cover a traditional guided tour experience, it was still a tour that they took care of every single one of us on that boat ABOVE and BEYOND anything we couldve expected.Thank you Caribe Bliss! I look forward to seeing you all reach even greater heights in the years to come!!!

These guys used their own boat and donated their own time to help evacuate residents of St. John after hurricane IRMA and asked for nothing in return! Brought 42 passengers to Farjado on the boat for the first of many 2 hour trips to help! They are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a charter.

My family of 4 booked on Caribe Bliss for the Culebra Day Trip & Flamenco Beach. Our vessel was the “Tortuga” and included snorkeling in Culebra. Food (fresh submarine sandwiches with fresh veggies, meats, pasta), Snacks, and flowing drinks were included. El Capitan Kevin and his crew were awesome! He and the crew made sure that we had a great time! The snorkeling was great and my 11 year old saw a sea turtle, and various marine life. Flamenco Beach was beautiful and we even saw a couple from our previous day’s tour group (El Yunque) at Flamenco Beach. We met some amazing people on this excursion and will have lasting memories.

So I had a chance to book a snorkel and island tour of isla culebras in Puerto Rico, this company was just the one that the hotel used so we went with them, I was so happy and pleasantly surprised at the result. The crew was amazing, insightful, and fun. The tour itself was great and we had just the best time. On the downside we couldnt get to the beach we were suppose to because of the swell (whatever that is) but the crew ended up taking us to a more remote and private beach with other boats and visitors, it felt almost like a private island getaway, highly recommend them! And you guys know how picky I am. We were aboard the Tortuga! Just FYI.
