Hello Dear Culebra-loving friends. It's been a few years since we've vacationed in Culebra (2018) and I'm going through some withdrawal. But of course we stayed away in 2020 due to all of the pandem

Hi All, I'm a total newbie to Culebra but I have been on many other islands in the Caribbean. I think I'd like to try Culebra next. For months I've read many of the TripAdvisor questions and I

I will be going to Culebra in April / May 2014. This will be my eighth time on the island camping, and usually travel solo. As has been mentioned previously, most campers on Flamenco are friendly. Whi

This is a one day trip and you want a winner for your daughter, therefore I would vote for Little Tamarindo. The publico driver will take you right there. You will have a 40 foot walk and you are in

We (family of four) have chartered with Air America and Culebra Air Services in the past. Very convenient from SJU, but this year $1100 round trip for our family, versus under $600 for Vieques Air Lin

Well, it's always nice to see improvements in safety and service at the airports. Not having to take the 20-minute cab ride to Isla Grande is a bit more convenient but... Is it really needed? Are Air

Ann, to say that my husband and I agreed to a snorkeling tour would be to say that my husband and I were ASKED if we would like a snorkeling tour. We were never asked and we were never given any optio

I am a first time backpacker. Safety is very subjective idea but generally how safe is it for a woman in Culebra or Pieques or even San Juan? What are the precautions one should take there?

Geronimo is right, it does really depend on the wind. Makes all the difference in the world. A short trip to the leeward side of the island can give you much better snorkeling, for adults and childr

thanks for all the replies. Still a little confused. let me restate the question. If you were able to legally take some hog snapper from a "take" zone, would you personally eat it?
