WHAT THEY WROTE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

"Rafy was an AMAZING tour guide. He was kind and understanding from the beginning and ensured that my husband and I had a really great snorkeling experience. So much so that we wanted to join him a second day in a row. He ensures that you see the beauty of the water and the reserve and takes really great pictures as you can see on this review. HIGHLY recommend!!!"

"¡Una experiencia inolvidable! Pudimos ver y disfrutar de las tortugas (vimos 6 tortugas!) y el arrecife. Rafy nos explicó cómo usar el gear, nos informó sobre la historia en Culebra, y nos explicó la vida marina que había! Al finalizar el tour pudimos conversar y nos recomendó varios sitios a explorar en Culebra. Quedamos encantada con el tour y el servicio excepcional de Rafy. Definitivamente volveríamos hacer snorkeling con él, mil gracias por la experiencia!!"

"First time snorkeling with my daughter and I couldn't be happier about it. Rafy did a great job finding turtles, stingrays, starfish among other creatures. He had the right gear for everyone to be comfortable and helped us manage to see everything that he found. This spot is a natural reserve so you will see lots of sea life including amazing fish and corals. We strongly recommend snorkeling with Rafy and next time we visit Culebra we will go snorkeling again with him. Also, Rafy managed to be at the right spot to take some amazing pictures. Priceless moments!!! 100% recommended!"

"Exceptional experience. Rafi was very helpful and created great atmosphere right from the begining. The snorkeling itself was for me as a dream. The corals and sea animales were so beautiful. Rafi also made great pictures for everybody."
