Day trip to Culebra

It was 5:30am when we left our snug beds to set out to Fajardo for our trip to Culebra Island. It’s a 3 hour drive from Rincon. The whole way while driving there I was a tad worried because this was MY idea. I was 99.9% sure it was going to be worth driving 6hrs in one day, but that .01% was gnawing at me. Turns out I was worried over nothing! It was an incredible trip!

We booked our trip using the Viator app with East Island Adventures. There is a ferry that you can catch from Fajardo to Culebra for $5 round trip, if you want to bring a cooler of food they will charge $1 more. This option was considerably less than what we went with, but you need to arrive at least 2hrs ahead of time and stand in line to get a spot on the ferry. You never know how many people will be there so there is a slight chance it could sell out before you get your ticket. We took the safe route of a guided tour, snorkel equipment, lunch and booze included- Dramamine not- highly reccomend if your sea legs are weak! Another reccomentation is a good water tight bag or case for your phone. One that you can use under water. You will want to take pics, also there is no dock, you swim to shore. So if you want pics on flamenco Beach, bring a waterproof case or bag.

There are two stops, a cove with a reef for awesome snorkeling and then Flamenco Beach. My pictures below are in that order as well!
