If you can’t swim, you need to ask for a life vest. I assumed there would be one because all my past experiences there were always a life vest. Also the waiver location was different from the Viator meet location. Voicemail was not setup when I tried calling but I was able to get a text response when I got to the location indicated with the waiver. After texting that I would like someone to drop off a life vest, the person said he/she tried to contact someone but offered that I can join the 1pm group. Of course I have to check with the family if it conflicts other plans.

This company was super professional and instructions were provided in a timely and thorough fashion. We had a follow up question about our meeting place and called and then gave us an exact spot. Our guide, Juan, was right on time. Welcoming, helpful, confident and he clearly spends a lot of time in the ocean. I was nervous to snorkel (sometimes fish and deep water scare me) but he was so helpful that the experience was really relaxing and fun!! He said he also does diving tours and we will definitely be booking one with him when we come back!

This tour was absolutely amazing! We drove about an hour here from Aguadilla area for the 9 am tour and ended up having the whole tour to ourselves. Our guide was friendly and so knowledgeable and helped us see so many awesome things, including a sea turtle, a nurse shark, two tarpons, and lots of tropical fish. The water was a little cloudy, but we still got to see plenty. Spent the entire 2 hours in the water since we parked right at the marina. For $50 per person, this was absolutely fantastic!

This is a literal SCAM. We arrived a half hour before our set tour time at 1:00 pm, to make sure we could find the meet up spot (which was very unclear) and our tour guide. However our tour guide stopped answering our calls and texts when we got there. We asked around some locals and even the local police that was watching this particular beach, where to go and where to find this guided snorkeling tour, and to no avail. If you book this tour and start communicating with someone from a phone number 772-332-0274 ITS A SCAMMMM so beware and don’t waste your time driving 3 hours here from San Juan, just to get blown off by your “tour guide”. I will be getting a full refund and this listing will be getting reported for fraud. I have screenshots of all communication, that I will be more than ECSTATIC to provide to this report.

Awesome experience! Got to see lots of reef fish and the water was really clear. The coral reef was very big and lots to explore. Had a great time.

I was texted the Saturday before my trip (which was for the following Saturday) and told that my tour had been cancelled. I asked for a refund and they told me to contact Trip Advisor after the trip date. The day before my cancelled trip (Friday) I was contacted by text and told that the trip was on and there would be no refund. I told them I had made other plans - but they refused to acknowledge that the text was sent - said someone else, not from their tour group, texted me. I did not get a refund and was basically told that making the reservation through a 3rd party was my problem. Rude, unhelpful and frankly pretty underhanded. Clearly the first text came from them - how else did they get my cell #, name, date and time of the trip? Why would anyone Phish me about that anyway? Their mistake and they should have taken responsibility for it. Avoid this vendor.

Chandler was a great guide. Got to see plenty of fish and sea life, the tagging of a sea turtle by a nature preserve. Warm water, great guide, and great beach. Definitely a great adventure
