The experience was amazing. The 2 individuals who lead the excursion were very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw turtles swimming and coming up for air right next to me! Couldn’t have asked for better.

If you are snorkeling, skip the basic tour and go for the jet snorkeling!!! The tour guides are knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The videos you receive as part of the package are awesome and great memory holders. The jets and snorkel equipment are clean, easy to use and work well. Stand out from the crowd, skip the basic you can do anywhere- go for the jet experience!!!

This was a really lovely experience! My husband and I have snorkeled in this same area two years ago with a different company and these young ladies were by far much better. V and Yadi explained things in better detail and were helpful along the way. Saw many turtles and even squid!!🦑 Everyone was kind, professional and friendly. Such a great way to spend and afternoon!!😊😊

It was so much fun. With the jet snorkel you did not get tired at all. Our guide was so patience with all of us

I brought my 11 year old with me on this amazing experience and highly recommend it to others. Garrett was welcoming and informative to ensure a great experience and prioritize our safety. One of the coolest experiences we've ever had. We saw Marine wildlife including several sea turtles. Book the jet snorkels especially if you're not a strong swimmer. The perfect balance of relaxation and a bit of adrenaline.

My fiancé and I had a great time seeing all the fish and turtles. The jets are super fun to use and the pictures and videos come out amazing. They also keep great communication before your reservation to make it easy to find them.
Luis_M, Mar 2026
Great experience. Our guide, V, was amazing! Totally recommend her. She was extremely professional and helped us to see the marine life.
Veronica_V, Mar 2026
We had an absolute blast! It was like playing mermaids for adults. The jet packs are easy to use and not so aggressive you feel overwhelmed, but helped us zoom around on an extremely windy day. We got to see some turtles and the guide took some amazing videos and photos. Our guide was so patient and helpful, obviously extremely skilled, and made sure everyone had a really fun and safe experience. Because of that, this experience is beginner friendly. You enter from a nice beach so it’s very easy in and out. Can’t recommend enough!

Guide sent us wrong group photos and didn't reply even though we msg numerous times. We relied on him to give the great memory. Very disappointing. Battery went out twice. Dont press the scooter by your stomach if u wear loose bathing suit. Got caught and guide cut thru suit to save his equipment.

Juan our instructor and guide was outstanding. Safe protected cove was easy for the family to all participate and enjoy.
Ivan_C, Dec 2025
This is just an incredible experience, we got a chance to see turtles a bunch of fish and everyone in the family had a lot of fun.
The team at jet snorkel is amazing, our Tour Guide was Juan, who did an amazing job at finding sea turtles, and helping making sure that everyone felt safe and had a great time.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone who’s thinking about it. You will definitely not regret it.
Zeemel_C, Dec 2025
Great experience with Juan! Super patient and did a great job making our family of four feel so comfortable with our excursion!
Thomas_S, Dec 2025
This was so fun. Juan was so smart and friendly in teaching us how to do jet snorkel and even took photos and videos for us. We had such a great time and felt taken care of. And of course, we got to see huge turtles and swim with them.
Shelli, Dec 2025
If you’ve never been snorkeling this is a great intro to how. It’s in a safe and enclosed area with good instruction. The keys are helpful and fun too. There’s not much to see besides the turtles and the San Juan side of the island is choppy so the sand gets mixed about and makes the water less clear.
It’s a nice experience but if you’re looking for awesome snorkeling a quieter part of the island is better.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We are glad you saw turtles too!
Amy_A, Dec 2025
The guide is excellent and the whole staff is friendly.
This was the best money we spent on our vacation.
The little cove was beautiful, full of marine life and very safe.
Staci_Z, Dec 2025
We were both new to snorkeling. The instructor “V” reviewed everything wonderfully. She do a great job taking pictures and getting videos of the fish and turtles! Recommend this for beginners
William_G, Dec 2025
Our guide Juan was excellent. The equipment was high quality, and we did not have any instances where water entered our snorkels. The jet snorkels were easy to use, but care was needed to ensure that loose clothing didn't get sucked in. Juan took great videos which he air-dropped to us at the end of the tour.

It was a wonderful experience, as a first timer I found this jet snorkeling excursion to have a good step by step instruction! A fun and safe excursion for everyone!
Artisa_C, Nov 2025
My mom and I went with Chad. We were both sooo nervous because we are not the strongest swimmers but there was no need! Chad made us feel very safe and his instructions were extremely helpful. You can tell he is very passionate about the ecosystem and what he does here. There are plenty of life jackets provided and the jet makes propelling through the water a breeze! The breathing attachment is also very helpful. We were super comfortable after the brief learning curve. We saw lots of fish and got to shadow a sea turtle. I HIGHLY recommend! If you are scared to swim in deeper waters you will still be able to move, breath, and float with ease.
Myra_S, Nov 2025
We had so much fun! It was raining so the water was a little hazy, but we still saw a couple turtles and a lot of fish. I appreciated the photos and video (included in the tour fee) taken and sent to us instead of worrying about taking our phones under water. For someone who is not a strong swimmer, the jet machines helped propel so I was not fatigued at the end.
Jamel_A, Nov 2025
James was great at communicating where to meet. He also gave a map view and called when I still failed to follow the map. V was my instructor she was amazing . The experience was also amazing.
Yette_B, Nov 2025
This was an amazing experience! The operators definitely made safety a priority! Got to follow a sea turtle around for about 15 minutes which was super cool!
KarlJude_L, Oct 2025
My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time jet snorkeling in San Juan! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The guides were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable — even as first-timers. The jet snorkeling gear was easy to use and made exploring the underwater world effortless and exciting.
Seeing sea turtles up close was truly magical! We also spotted colorful fish and coral reefs, and the guides took amazing photos and videos so we could relive the experience afterward. The entire excursion was well-organized, safe, and full of fun energy.
Jose_B, Sep 2025
Very fun and Juan was very patient such a good instructor would def go back wen I’m in the area love the experience
angenay_w, Sep 2025
Honestly a life changing experience for me . It was so fun . I can’t swim but felt like a professional with our instructor Juan !
MaryCatherineHuss, Aug 2025
This was a fun experience! We saw several turtles and fish. The photos and videos are included in the tour so I’m looking forward to seeing those! The guides were very knowledgeable and did a real safety briefing. We were well looked after. We would definitely repeat this experience.

Samuel was a wonderful guide. We had never used jets to snorkel and he was very patient with my teenage son and I. Highlight was getting to see a sea turtle. They bring a go pro and send you the pics, so you do not need to worry about anything. Would highly recommend.

The operator cancelled at the last minute, after providing instructions to arrive early. We were already on site when we received the message. We were told that visibility was poor though nearby, other groups were snorkeling. However, we did receive a full refund for the activity, though not for transportation and a wasted morning.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the cancellation, which was made for safety and quality service.
The sargassum that led to visibility issues also resulted in the demise of all marine life in the bay. Other companies continued operations, prioritizing profit over safety and environmental impact.
Our visibility standards are superior to some operators. We strive to provide a safe and enjoyable experience.
We trust that the full refund will compensate for any inconvenience. We apologize and look forward to serving you better in the near future.
Tameka_M, Jul 2025
It was a wonderful experience. We had to maneuver through the seaweed but we were able to see turtles and other marine life. The jet snorkel was fun to learn and work with. Must do.
Tara_T, Jul 2025
Juan and Samuel were great! I enjoyed the experiences lot. It would have been better if it was greater visibility in the water. But I know that can’t be helped.
