Getting to Culebrita - Costs?
Culebra, Puerto Rico

My boyfriend and I will be visiting Culebra at the end of February and are trying to nail down our budget. We'll be there for 4 full days and we want to spend one of those days on Culebrita. I've read that you can either kayak there, or take a water taxi. I'm wondering about the costs of both, and who to rent from/get a the taxi from.

And, is it a bad idea to kayak there if we're not super experienced kayakers? I've been on the water a lot in my life and have spent a good amount of time in canoes, so I'm not nervous in them, but wouldn't want to kayak if it was very far or if anyone advised against it.

Also, are there fewer people on Culebrita's beaches? Would we perhaps be able to find a little spot where we're all alone? I just love that idea.

We are SO looking forward to our visit! We just decided yesterday, after much fantasizing, that we have the finances to do it. And, I believe we're going to stay a Villa Fulladosa, after reading many good reviews...

Good evening,

I believe that kayaking to Culebrita is not an option. I've heard that it is because of much boat traffic in the area & currents.

Generally, when renting a kayak, you would be going out from the Tamarindo area between Culebra & Luis Pena.

There are many beaches on Culebra as well where you can find a spot to yourselves.

Terrie is right! Unless you can find someone to drop off your kayaks at Zoni (if there's a northely swell you would not make it through the breakers) you are much better off kayaking to Luis Peña.

Enjoy Culebra!

My wife and I will be in Culebra 2/27-3/2. Perhaps we could share in the cost of water taxi or boat rental?

Good afternoon,
Water taxis are per person ($45). Currently there isn't anyone that rents boats. If you go out with a captain the costs are also per person.
