This is so fun! They feed you well and you get a good amount of rum in each drink. The hosts were so kind and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend! Our tour guides were Dali, she’s super funny , Amanda , she’s very kind and upbeat, and jonathan , he’s a great bar tender and a sweet guy! I loved this crew and my brothers who had never been snorkeling had such a blast !

Travelers praise this family-friendly tour for engaging snorkeling and boat slides suitable for all ages, supported by attentive guides and captains who provide knowledgeable, personalized care. The natural scenery, including pristine beaches and clear waters around Icacos and Puerto Rico’s eastern shores, stands out. Food and beverages receive consistent acclaim for freshness and variety. While most find the tour well organized and good value, some note occasional communication issues and limited activity variety.

Fun experience overall. From snorkeling to hanging on the boat would definitely recommend. They just need to update their playlist lol
Response from Host, Nov 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words and heads up about the playlist needing an update! =)
We hope you have a great time on the island. Thank you so much again for the opportunity!
Honest review here, beautiful island I can’t deny it. We went to Vieques because they told us Icacos was unavailable due to weather once we were on the boat for the 1:30 tour. Snorkeling was very difficult as a fit person and once you’re deep in the water your stuck in the water. FOOD WAS TERRIBLE! Open bar is literally maybe 30 minutes! Not much time to drink. It’s fine but not worth the price.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback. Destinations may change when weather or sea conditions make the scheduled location unsuitable. We’re sorry the snorkeling felt difficult and that lunch did not meet your expectations. Alcohol service begins only after snorkeling for safety, so its duration depends on the day’s itinerary.
Again, thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We hope you enjoy your stay on the island!
The staff is incredible! We were on Medusa. We really enjoyed the snorkeling. The food was EH. We waited to get food, went last and the cookies were gone. All i wanted was a cookies! But the rest of the trip was great!
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed snorkeling aboard Medusa and that our incredible crew made the trip special. We’re sorry the cookies were gone by the time you reached the food table—we understand that sometimes it’s the little things you’re looking forward to most! We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again.
We had the best experience with the best tour guides! Paola, Chris, Tuti and captain Chris were hands down the best!
Response from Host, Nov 2026
Thank you so much for the shout out Brandi! We truly appreciate your time with us and hope that you have a wonderful stay on the island! =)
The check in process was super simple. You got to take photos and eat or drink while you wait for the boat. I do wish that the exact boat that was pictured in my reservation should have been the board I boarded. But instead it was a sister boat. I also wish the food options were a little better on board. We were given the fresh fruit, cheese and turkey slices, and PBJ. I wish they could have been more specific and maybe even add chicken sandwich or burgers for the guest. Loved the snorkeling though.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad check-in was easy and that you loved the snorkeling with the crew! Each boat that goes on the trip as either the slide or the floating matts so everyone has a chance to use either, though we understand expecting the boat pictured when booking. Thank you for also sharing your thoughts on the lunch, we do include chicken salad along with other selections for the trips to be used in sandwiches if guest would like so I am so sorry if you did not reach it on time or did not spot it on the bar. We appreciate your suggestions and will share it with our team. Thank you again Sabrina!
We really enjoyed this experience overall. The staff were extremely knowledgeable, extremely friendly and made the whole experience great! I only took one star off because I booked this tour because it said boat tour “with slide” and there was absolutely no slide on our boat. There was an additional boat that came with us and they said we can jump on their slide which was parked maybe five boats in between ours and we really tried but it was so far of a swim/ walk. We were just so tired, we couldn’t make it. Lol so if you’re 100% OK with booking this with no slide on the boat and walking to their other boat, this is definitely a really great tour. I enjoyed it otherwise.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much again for spending the day with us! We appreciate your honest feedback about feeling to tired to make it over to Medusa to use the slide. We will find better ways to explain the two boats being part of the same experience before boarding. Thank you so much again for your time and for the opportunity of sharing a little piece of our island with you!
Absolutely loved this ! We can’t wait to bring the children! The staff was so inviting and involved and informative! The snorkeling was so fun ! 10/10 we didn’t want it to end !
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much! We're thrilled you loved the experience and enjoyed the snorkeling and our welcoming, knowledgeable crew. We can't wait to have you back with the children so the whole family can enjoy the adventure together! Thank you for the 10/10 recommendation!
It was nice! Great for a solo traveler or any size group! The instructors were nice and provided detailed instructions!
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much! We're glad you had a great time and found the experience welcoming for solo travelers and groups alike. We're happy our instructors provided clear and helpful instructions throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon!

Amazing experience with food and drinks even if you can’t swim! You can stay behind theres plenty of fishy to see! I wish we had, had a lit group tho!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and snorkeling experience, even as a non-swimmer. We're happy you were still able to enjoy the marine life from a comfortable spot. We hope to see you again soon!
This tour was lovely & exactly as described. The boat was clean & the staff super helpful and knowledgeable. While snorkeling we saw turtles & rays and then we relaxed on a beautiful beach. Lunch & drinks were provided as promised. Jarell, Chris & Maria were all great!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for such an awesome review! We are so happy that you had such a wonderful time and that the guides made all the difference! Please let us know when you're back on your next visit. We will be here! =)
Our driver was great, got us there quickly & provided great tips. Our tour guides - Andrea, Mike, etc. - were also great. The trip overall was fun - my only comment is that the snorkeling was so-so (nothing amazing to see really) and the food/drinks weren’t that great.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback! We’re glad your driver was helpful and that Andrea, Mike, and the crew made the trip fun.
Marine-life sightings and water conditions can vary each day, but we understand the snorkeling did not meet your expectations. We also appreciate your comments about the food and drinks and will share them with our team as we continue improving the experience. Please feel free to give us a call to 787-245-4545 in case you would like to share more.
This was my first time going snorkeling best experience ever! The crew was very engaged and friendly, food provided was great, and the water was perfect!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much! We're thrilled your first snorkeling experience was such a great one. We're glad you enjoyed the friendly crew, food, and beautiful water. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon!
The experience was amazing! My only reason for not rating 5 stars is because they only served rum based drinks on board and my partner is diabetic. She can normally only have beer since the sugar content is otherwise too high. Would recommend otherwise!
Great trip! So wonderful we booked again when we return in the fall! Hectmar and the crew were wonderful, caring and informative. The lunch and drinks were delicious and the wildlife we saw was amazing! 6 turtles, a stingray, a shark, a barracuda, many fish and a mama and baby dolphin.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for this incredible review and for already booking with us again! We’re thrilled that Hectmar and the crew made your day caring, informative, and memorable. Seeing six turtles, a stingray, shark, barracuda, colorful fish, and even a mother and baby dolphin sounds absolutely magical! We’re glad you enjoyed the lunch and drinks, and we can’t wait to welcome you back this fall!
This is a guided snorkeling tour. We did see several sea turtles, stingrays, and a Nurse shark along with some beautiful fish. However, this tour has tons of people. There were a lot of kicks and pushes from other travelers trying to get ahead. Everyone kept punching up together and even if we try to stay to the back of the group somehow we would still be getting kicked with fins or pushed over. The experience was OK, but a smaller group of people would probably have been easier to manage. The crew was great in the experience overall was good.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you saw sea turtles, stingrays, a nurse shark, and beautiful fish, and that our crew made the experience enjoyable. We understand how uncomfortable it can be when swimmers bunch together and fins make contact. We’ll share your comments with our team as we review ways to improve spacing and group management during the guided snorkel. Thank you so much again for joining us and for your time while on the island!
It was a great experience. Would I do it again? No but not because of the crew. My husband and I became sick on the boat due to motion sickness and were eager to get back to land but we are happy that we were able to experience it with a great crew.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry that motion sickness made the boat ride difficult for you and your husband, but we truly appreciate your kind words about our crew. We’re glad you were still able to enjoy this adventure together and that our team helped make the experience a positive one despite the circumstances. We truly hope that you have a wonderful time on the island!
this was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. I had so much fun and the guides were so so great! Nothing beats bottomless piña colada’s on an island in the middle of nowhere snorkeling with sea life. we went for my birthday trip and it was the highlight of my trip.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us! We’re honored to hear this was the most amazing experience you’ve ever had and the highlight of your trip. Snorkeling with marine life, enjoying piña coladas, and relaxing on a beautiful island sounds like the perfect birthday adventure! We’ll share your kind words with our guides and hope to celebrate with you again!
This was so fun! This was our first time snorkeling and we were able to see so much! On top of that there was food included after the snorkeling and we were able to enjoy just swimming in the water and drinking after that!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for choosing us for your first snorkeling adventure! We’re so happy you had fun, saw plenty of marine life, and enjoyed the food afterward. Relaxing in the water is the perfect way to finish the day! We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!
Absolutely amazing snorkeling experience in Vieques! The water was crystal clear and calm like a swimming pool. We saw sea turtles, sharks, rays, and tons of beautiful marine life! 🐢🦈🌊 The crew kept everything fun and engaging from start to finish, and the music, food, and drinks were all on point. Great vibes, beautiful water, and an unforgettable experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our Puerto Rico trip! 🇵🇷 Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your kind review and recommendation! We’re happy to hear that our friendly crew made your excursion enjoyable. We truly appreciate you choosing us and hope to see you again soon!
Mike and his team were wonderful and accommodating. I suggest having a water proof bag if you want to swim with some items to the beach from the boat. But overall 10/10 experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for the shout out! We are so happy you had a great time and will for sure let the team know. We also appreciate your recommendation about the water proof bag for others guests.
We hope to see you again soon!
The boat ride was super fun and entertaining. However, the snorkeling wasn’t too great and you only get “unlimited” drinks for about an hour out of your five hour trip. I didn’t like that we were required to hold onto a flotation device the whole time we were snorkeling and that we were with such a massive crowd of people. I’ve been on another snorkeling boat tour before and was much better in my opinion. The views and the beach were still beautiful though.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re happy you enjoyed the boat ride, beautiful views, and time at the beach. Marine-life sightings and water conditions can vary each day, so we’re sorry the snorkeling did not meet your expectations.
For everyone’s safety, flotation equipment is required during the snorkeling portion since we are regulated by the coastguard, and alcoholic beverages are served only after all snorkeling activities have ended. Drinks are unlimited during the designated service period rather than throughout the full five-hour excursion.
We do understand that the group size may have felt larger than what you experienced on a previous tours. We appreciate your comments and will use them as we continue improving how these details are communicated before and during the trip. Thank you for your time Sarah!
While the crew members were great, the tour itself was NOT WORTH IT. We were a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 children ages 6 & 7) children pay full price which is insane, since they are not consuming any alcohol. I went against my better judgment after reading reviews that said it was not worth it and regret it so much. 1st of the tour is “5 hrs” you will some at least 3 hrs doing check-in, traveling to and from the island, and listening to instructions. During these 3 hrs, no alcohol will be served (they give you 1 soda/water). Once you get to the island you can do the guided snorkel tour which was not nice at all. While I understand it is not in their hands if any sea animals will be around, the actual coral/ area is not nice. I have been on many snorkeling boat trips and this was extremely disappointing, all you can see is grass and a few spots of coral. If you chose to stay back on the beach and not snorkel, you could I’ll not be able to have any alcoholic beverages. They will open up the bar/ food once everyone returns from snorkeling. At that point you will have about 1.5 hrs to drink, eat, go down the slide and swim. Trust me with a group of at least 50-60 people this is not a lot of time. After 1.5 hrs you will be asked to get back in the boat and travel back to main island. Again during this time no drinks will be served. You can’t even stand up from your seat. While I understand this is not a booze cruise (nor did I want that) paying $540 for 1.5 hrs of actual drinks, beach time is ABSOLUTELY not worth it. I have been on many of these type of tours in different countries and in Puerto Rico and for the same price you get more hours at the beach and enjoying the boat. This tour was definitely rushed and not enjoyable at all !
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, especially after choosing to spend part of your family vacation with us.
We’re glad to hear that you had a positive experience with our crew, but we completely understand your disappointment regarding the amount of beach time and the overall pace of the excursion.
For safety, alcoholic beverages are served only after the snorkeling portion of the trip is completed, and service ends before we begin navigating back to the marina. We understand that this can feel different from other boat excursions, and your feedback highlights how important it is for us to make the timeline and expectations of the experience as clear as possible before booking.
While marine-life sightings and ocean conditions vary each day, we never want a guest to leave feeling that the overall experience was not worth what they paid.
Thank you again for your honesty. We’ll be sharing your comments with our team as we continue working to improve both the experience itself and how we communicate what guests can expect before joining us.
It was an okay experience. I didn’t have as much fun as I expected. A lot of people will tell you it’s great for a solo trip but I didn’t get that impression. When I went the boat consisted of a large group of a family and about 2 friend groups so my group wasn’t as open. The food was okay. The drinks were okay and I wish it felt like more of an experience since I paid $150 but it didn’t if you’re a solo traveler I suggest doing a trip on the boat without the slide. They looked like they had a blast and it was more people in my age group (21-25) on that one. They even swam over to use our slide so if you’re a solo traveler I’d say try a different one.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. 💙 We’re sorry the day didn’t quite live up to what you were hoping for, especially while traveling solo. The mix of guests and groups onboard can vary from trip to trip, which can definitely change the overall atmosphere of the day.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the food, drinks, and overall value of the experience. These details are important to us and help our team continue looking for ways to improve.
We’re glad you were still able to enjoy some time on the water, and we truly appreciate you choosing Snorkeling Puerto Rico during your visit.
