Imagine gliding through crystal-clear Caribbean waters, surrounded by colorful fish, coral reefs, and majestic marine creatures. Now add a splash of island flavor with free rum on board and you've got yourself the perfect day in paradise.

Welcome to our daily snorkeling adventure tours in San Juan, where the ocean comes alive and memories are made.

Discover the Gentle Giants: Manatee Puerto Rico

One of the highlights of our tour is the chance to encounter a true hidden gem of the Caribbean—the West Indian manatee. These gentle, slow-moving mammals, often called "sea cows," are a rare and heartwarming sight in the wild. Puerto Rico is one of the few places in the Caribbean where you can observe these peaceful creatures in their natural habitat.

The manatee Puerto Rico is a protected species, and while sightings are not guaranteed, our experienced guides know the best spots where they are frequently seen. Floating quietly above one of these majestic animals as it grazes on seagrass is a breathtaking and humbling experience.

Our tours follow strict eco-friendly guidelines to ensure we respect and preserve their environment. We encourage our guests to observe without disturbing, ensuring these amazing animals continue to thrive in Puerto Rico’s waters.

Swim Alongside Sea Turtles

As if spotting a manatee wasn't magical enough, our snorkeling tours also give you the opportunity to swim alongside sea turtles. These graceful reptiles are common around the coast of San Juan, especially in the calm, protected bays we explore.

Watch them glide effortlessly through the water, stop to nibble on sea grass, or rise to the surface for a breath of air. Seeing a sea turtle up close in the wild is an unforgettable moment, and a favorite memory for many of our guests.

Perfect for All Experience Levels

Whether you’re an experienced snorkeler or it's your first time in the water, our tours are designed for everyone. Our professional and friendly guides provide all the training and safety equipment you need. We take time to ensure you feel comfortable, confident, and excited before entering the water.

The snorkeling sites we visit in San Juan are chosen for their calm, shallow waters and abundant marine life. You don’t need to be a strong swimmer to enjoy the tour—just bring your sense of adventure and a love for the ocean!

Free Rum, Island Vibes, and Good Times

No Caribbean tour would be complete without a little island flavor. After your snorkeling adventure, relax on board with a refreshing rum cocktail—on the house. We proudly serve free rum as part of the experience, along with tropical juices and cold drinks to keep you hydrated and happy.

Enjoy the sun on your face, music in the air, and the feeling of total relaxation as we cruise back along the coast of San Juan. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, a honeymoon, or just life itself, our tour delivers unforgettable vibes.
