San Juan Guided Snorkel With Turtles Tour and Videos

1.San Juan Guided Snorkel With Turtles Tour and Videos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12,947 reviews · from $42Our pick

Enter the Caribbean from Escambrón Beach for a 1 to 1.5-hour guided snorkel with a certified instructor. You’ll get gear, a safety lesson, help matched to your swimming ability, and a GoPro video. Turtles are often seen, but currents and weather can change the route. Ages 8 and up.

“This was a great experience!! We had Jill, I believe. She was lovely. So when you get there you check in and then you're asked to give info about your swimming capacity. I was put in a group of four who were all comfortable swimmers but there were groups with less comfortable swimmers too. I really appreciated that it was a small group format. Then you get your fins and mask and then get in the water. The water was beautiful. We ended up seeing two turtles! I recommend going in the morning if you can, as I have heard the water is calmer. The beach is also less crowded.…”

“We did the **Half-Day El Yunque Rainforest Water Slide and Rope Swing Guided Tour** with Spotin Tours, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, **Orlando**, was amazing from start to finish. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure every single person in the group felt safe and comfortable — especially the kids. We went as a family, and even our 6-year-old had a blast doing both the natural water slide and the rope swing! Orlando and the team took extra care with the children, guiding them step by step, and making sure they were confident and enjoying every moment. Their patience and attention really stood out. The rainforest itself…”
