I'm trying to plan a March trip to Puerto Rico and Culebra for myself, my wife and our two boys, ages 5 and 8. I would be grateful for any advice, especially regarding the following questions:
- How’s the kayaking around the island? Which areas of the island are most suitable to kayaking in relatively calm waters?
- My wife and I will have our two young children with us. As they aren’t going to be able to travel far in a kayak on their own, I would want to rent two double kayaks (two people in each). Any recommendations for an outfit I could contact about renting two double kayaks for a few days?
- I had in mind that we would try to get accommodations at Tamarind Estates, on the southwest coast of the island. Would this be a good base from which to start some kayak trips? Is it realistic/safe to kayak out to Luis Pena or to Carlos Rosario reef/beach for example? How about kayaking over to the main town for a meal?
- If we kayaked from Tamarind Estates over to the west side of the peninsula where the main town is located, is it possible/safe to tie up our kayaks somewhere and walk in to get a bite to eat?
- Is there a phosphorescent bay on Culebra that we could kayak in? Any nice mangrove channels to kayak in?
Any other suggestions or comments regarding kayaking and snorkeling on Culebra would be much appreciated as well.
Thanks very much for your consideration. Best wishes to all.
