I looked for a long time as a first time visitor to Puerto Rico for the perfect snorkeling experience for me and my 7 year old daughter. This was the perfect one. The location was gorgeous. The guide Joshua was so helpful and really great with my daughter. I would 100% do it again.

Amazing Time!

Raymond_S, Apr 2025
Where do I start? I took my 12 yr old and my 6yr old. To be honest I had a little bit of anxiety on how we were going to get thru it. But Luis and Josh were super supportive and patient and made sure we felt comfortable the whole way thru. I was impressed with the attention to detail on safety as they made certain that our equipment fit us just right and was worn correctly. Going out into the water was slow for us with a 6yr old, but , Josh and Luis were patient moving at our comfortable pace. Once out there, my 6yr old got the hang of it and was able to explore freely. My 12yr old loved every second as well. There were times out in the water where I was paying so much close attention to my boys that I didn’t even see where Luis and Josh were but every now and again I could hear Luis telling me in Spanish that we were doing great and that he was right behind and to not worry. I cannot speak enough on how professional and comforting these guys were and I’m so happy we did it because my boys could not stop talking about the Sting Ray, fish, jelly fish and King and Queen Conch they were able to see up close. I highly recommend and we will be revisiting these guys when we come back!

Hola! Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Luis and Josh were able to make your experience comfortable and enjoyable for you and your boys. It means a lot to us that the attention to safety and patience helped ease your anxiety and allowed your kids to have such a memorable adventure. Seeing their excitement about the stingrays, fish, jellyfish, and conchs truly makes what we do so rewarding. We can’t wait to welcome you all back next time — it will be our pleasure to guide your family again!

Great tour!

It’s a great snorkeling tour that we use every time we come to the island. Joshua is great and always points out great finds along the way. I recommend the life vest if just to use it as a float, my 55 year old hockey knees appreciated it!

Excellent experience and great staff! We had a few beginners who were snorkeling like pro's in no time with the guidance of our guide. The beach to the right of the shack is excellent and beautiful to stay the entire day if ur prepared. We stayed under the trees and had a blast with our kids in super clean and clear water.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi! Thanks for the review and the support! We are very happy that you have learned to snorkel with us. The world that lives under the sea is amazing and once we get to know it we want to learn more about conserving it. Thank you for the opportunity and we hope to see you again soon.

Amazing Experience

Our tour guide was amazing and went above and beyond in guiding us to find all the sea creatures we were excited to see! The team was also amazing offering drinks and snacks upon arrival back from snorkeling. Highly recommend these guys.
