Great time without a boat

Laura_Y, May 2024

We had a great time with our tour guy, Jason. He was patient and very instructive making this trip very enjoyable. Also, what was very helpful was we were placed in groups of beginner, intermediate, and advanced snookers. Because of this, our group was on the same level, making it very enjoyable for all of us. I would highly recommend this trip.

Great Snorkeling Experience

Anthony took good care of us and made sure we got the full experience. Totally recommend if it’s your first time snorkeling. Beginner friendly 🤙🇵🇷🌺

Amazing.

Isaiah_S, Apr 2024

This being my first time in PR, this snorkel tour was one of the most exciting I had during my trip!! From the start point, we get a beautiful view of the coast and a interesting overview about the sea-life in Puerto Rico. Our tour guide did an amazing job at teaching us beginners how to snorkel and made it very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this if you are an avid animal lover as we got close-ups on a family of turtles and videos to come with :)

Turtle Time!

Maryjoe_C, Apr 2024

My 11 year old daughter and I absolutely loved this tour. Alexa was a fantastic instructor. She explained everything we would be doing step-by-step and was so patient with all the questions received and making sure each person in our group was comfortable and safe. Alexa took us to all areas of the bay, and we saw three turtles and amazing fish. She took great pictures and video so we could remember this special adventure. We would definitely do this tour again!

Great, highly recommend

Yachong_Y, Apr 2024

We were a bit late cos got stuck on the road from the rain, fortunately the rain stopped (although some small rain wouldn't affect the tour). They waited for us and Elizabeth gave is a great tour! Both first timers, great experience! Just remember to use your lips to seal the breather tight and use only the mouth to breath no nose, otherwise you g et a bit of water in your nose or mouth and that's salty:) We say turtles and a bit hermit crab!

Best Excursion in Puerto Rico!

Max_S, Apr 2024

Absolutely phenomenal experience! Elizabeth was amazing and made the snorkeling a fun and amazing excursion!!

Amazing snorkel with turtles!

Lauren_W, Apr 2024

Wonderful experience! Saw turtles, beautiful fish and other creatures. Appreciated inclusive sizing on life jackets and flippers. Grant did an amazing job as our guide in narrating the snorkel experience and made it above and beyond a regular snorkel. Got the videos right after and very high quality. Highly recommend!

Great family water adventure

Christine_H, Apr 2024

Alexa was a great guide for my family. First time snorkeling for the kids and they loved it. For me, it’s the first snorkeling ounce actually seen fish and turtles. I was a little nervous as we were pulling up because the waters looked rough but the area where snorkeling actually is is perfect.

Amazing

Our tour guide, Anthony, was very nice and enjoyed taking us out in the bay. Although it was extemely cloudy, hard to see things and even rained with wind, Anthony dove deep and took high quality videos for us and sent for free 🌊 would recommend you book on a 100% sunny day
