Getting Here

Please keep in mind before booking: The flights from Culebra to the main island are low altitude flights; however, the experts at DAN still recommend 12 hours after a single dive and at least 18 hours after multiple dives or multiple days of diving.

For this reason and to avoid schedule conflicts impacting your tour (or that of others on the boat), we ask that you not book flights or the ferry immediately post tour. Exact return times are not guaranteed.

**The cargo ferry does NOT arrive in 1 hour as listed, it is closer to 1.5-2hrs. Do not book the 7:30am passenger/cargo ferry if you have a morning tour as you will be late for your morning tour and we will not be able to wait**
