Going during Holy Week is up to you and your family and what your expectations are. We made the trip to Culebrita in kayaks with 3 adults and two twelve year old girls. I was pretty excited thinking of getting to Playa Tortuga. However, I was disappointed when we made the hike to Tortuga after landing the kayaks on the south side of Culebrita. There were probably less than a dozen boats, but a good 50-60 people, partying, load music, lots of alcohol. Playa Tortuga was beautiful, but festivities polluted the experience. I just walked in the water, dove under, came up, walked out, and said, "Ok, let's leave!". We didn't spend more than 3 minutes there. We did hike to the lighthouse. That was great! Absolutely incredible views! We snorkeled on the reefs where we had beached the kayaks. Another incredible experience.
When we do it again, we will make it a point to visit Culebrita when there are fewer people, especially the party types. Playa Tortuga deserves another chance. I just need to time it right. For us, Culebrita is easily a 3 day adventure. It may be small, but it has a lot, both above and below the water.
