The visit this small island south of ponce you must pay for a boat ride, the beach is small but since there's only one boat that travels there the beach dosnt get filled up. the water couldn't be more clearer so clean an amazing beach.

Love the scenery. The views are breathtaking (especially of you hike to the lighthouse); but the snorkeling wasn't that exciting. I think it's overused, so the visibility wasn't that good and there was not much to see. The boat ride there was kinda choppy. If you are looking for great snorkeling with great views, take a flight to Culebra and snorkel there!We went there with Aqua Adventures. We really like our guide and the boat captain and even made friends with the other customers on the boat, but www we looking for some good snorkeling and this place didn't deliver that.

This bit of Ponce is absolutely spectacular. The crystal clear water and white fine powder beach is an absolute treat. This island is a natural reserve and protected by the department of natural resources. You must bring everything you need with you. Island Ventures is the charter company that takes you to/from Caja de Muertos and they rent chairs, umbrellas and you can buy food from them. Otherwise you have to bring everything in and bring everything out, including your own trash. There are bathrooms including accessible bathrooms. There's a path to the light house. The first part of the path is cleared and fairly easy walking. The second part as you begin your ascend is bit more difficult only because of the rocks and gravel. You'll want to wear something other than flip flops. While the light house is almost destroyed, the views are absolutely spectacular. This is a day excursion worth every penny.

This excursion with Island Ventures was wonderful. I loved the convenience of being able to book on-line and the drive through the mountains from the North coast was beautiful. At the Marina We arrived at 7:30 and had even beat the Island Venture staff to the dock, which we were grateful for as there were no open restaurants serving breakfast. The Subway restaurant less than one mile away had very clean restrooms (the ones at the dock are a disaster. Seriously, I would imagine they have nicer facilities in prison. BYOTP). With our made to order egg sandwiches from Subway in hand we arrived back at the dock at 7:45 and jumped in line. As our 2 year old daughter was along for the ride we had a lot of stuff (noodles, several bags, and large cooler). It was an extra $10 for the cooler to come aboard. We were just able to snag the last table on the first level of the boat. We pre-ordered our lunch (hot dogs and Pinchos de pollo) from the crew on the way and they also take beach chair and umbrella rental orders (and payments) on the boat. On the IslandStraight off the boat most people made a bee-line for the built in gazebos near Pelican Beach. There are a few with a great view if you're among the first to arrive. Pelican Beach had a few sections and next time we will hurry to set up our beach chairs on the small part of the beach just down the stairs from the gazebos for convenience factor. If you leave snacks at the gazebo while you're on the beach ensure they are tightly sealed in plastic bags unless you want to share them with the ants. Composting toilets are an interesting experience, but at least there's somewhere to go. We hiked to the Coast Guard Beach and to the Lighthouse. Sneakers are a good idea as it is a rocky climb. We saw on the map there is a coral reef on the other side of the Island but ran out of time to make it. I think if you want to snorkel that reef, you have to pack a lunch, get off the boat and go as I'd estimate a 45 min - 1 hour walk to get there. BeachesPlaya Larga on the south side of the Island is reserved for the turtles, no people allowed.Coast Guard BeachA small stretch of white sand and crystal blue water where those with private boats tend to dock. For this reason swimming far from the beach is not allowed. Pelican Beach This is where 90% of the people on the Island Venture boat set up for the day. It is close to the facilities and dock, is a beautiful white sand beach and has a few decent snorkel spots (bring your own gear). The views are spectacular. The other beaches were too far for us to check out this trip. The boat began tooting its horn at 3 pm for the return trip to Ponce. We would have loved one more hour, but I guess that just means we'll have to come back.

We loved our day on the island. Nice boat, good food for sale and what a view!!! Very affordable. Water wasn't as clear as I thought but the waters were a bit rough.

This place is absolutely breathtaking! Caja de Muerto is a little gem in PR's south coast. We went with Island Venture, which appears to be the only ferry that provides service to/from Caja de Muerto. Their website is the following: http://islandventurepr.com/en. Service was excellent. We purchased the Deluxe package which included 12 tickets for food/beverage (more than enough for a full day). Ferry departs at 8:30am sharp from La Guancha pier in Ponce. It takes approximately 45 min to get there. They allow you to bring coolers but you will have to pay $5 to carry it on the vessel. Also, Island Venture provides umbrellas/chairs for $10 each. Make sure to call ahead and request your umbrella/chair if you have a Deluxe package, because these are usually set aside for folks who purchase tickets through Oferta del Dia (PR's equivalent to Groupon). The island has no fresh water/bathrooms so make sure to bring all your supplies with you to last from 9am until 3:30pm (ferry's departure time). There are bathrooms inside the ferry if you needed one, the vessel stays all day long in Caja de Muerto until departure. The ferry also has a bar where you can purchase beers and other alcoholic drinks. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I made the mistake of not taking an umbrella with me and the staff immediately assisted me in finding one. The island also has gazebos, a small museum, and a lighthouse. People can go to the lighthouse but is not recommended to go inside the structure because it was built in the 1800's and the building is in extreme decay. Be mindful of not leaving ANY trash behind. So take a couple of trash bags with you and carry all waste back to the ferry. Dept of Natural Resources has folks on site and they have authority to fine you if you leave trash behind or litter in the premises. My family had a great time (note that I took our 5 yr old) and we definitely would LOVE to go back. This place is beautiful for whatever type of group you plan to take, friends, family, children, couples, etc.. Can't recommend this place -and Island Venture- enough!

Caja de muertos is a small Island off of Ponce and a Natural Reserve. OnLy accesible to those with boats you can get there with http://islandventurepr.com/en for a $25 fee. The ship only carrys a number of passengers so the Island is never packed. Enjoy prestine beaches, walking to the lighthouse and the flora and fauna of the Island.

This is a must do ! In order to get the ferry tickets you should reserve online with anticipation and follow the instructions (arrive time, place etc.) The beach is a small spot, but its great because is a small group who arrives in the ferry. Its a great space for swimming and take sun. You can bring your chairs and umbrella, but they rented those t oo. Also they sell hot dogs, beer and chicken kebab if you don't want bring much stuff. Definitely I will come back someday. PD : Don't forget your sunblock a nice hat and the sunglasses!!! the weather is warmer !!!

At no point could I not see to the bottom. The water is cool but not cold. The sand is a pretty white color. We booked the deluxe package and let the people on the ferry worry about feeding us and having drinks for us. I preferred that rather than worry about a cooler. I wish there was a shower to get all the sand off but I understand with it being a tiny island why there isn't. There are gazebos and a museum. It was one of the best decisions we made on our trip to Puerto Rico.
