5.00Hector was a great guide. He brought us to a reef area where we saw rays, sea turtles, remoras, sea urchins, and a wide variety of coral and fish. Then, when we got to the beach, he served us drinks and snacks while we floated in the water. Even though there were several other tours out there, we were the only ones with a provided lunch. I can’t imagine anyone more friendly and attentive. Book your tour for a once in a lifetime experience
Doesn’t get much better than this!

5.00Absolutely amazing trip. Calm waters and beautiful snorkeling with sea turtles and colorful fish. Then we went to a beach for a chill time with refreshments and food. Hector is top notch. Everything went so smoothly!
So worth it!

5.00My family of 5 (ages,9,13,16) loved the half day tour! We were first timers for snorkeling and it was a little scary for my kids at first but they all got the hang of it and had an amazing experience. Gear was clean, worked well, and guides helped us adjust fins and masks. We saw lots of fun fish and sea turtles! We spent some time just following one turtle around. The boat ride out got a bit scary for my youngest but Hector was great about noticing our needs and helped us get to a spot on the boat that was more comfortable. My 13 year old loved every wave the boat hit and would’ve spent all day just free riding the ocean. If this will be your first time on a boat in the ocean, be prepared for adventure. If I ever come back we’ll be booking again for a full day. If you have teenagers, be brave, try this tour and leave the cell phones at home!
A lot of fun

5.00We had a great time and a wonderful experience. Our family of six went on the afternoon half day kayak adventure with Hector. His boat had a capacity of six so that worked out great. Hector, and his wife as co-captain, we're very friendly and made the trip a lot of fun.

5.00My brother and sister-in-law, cousin, and I spent a delightful morning snorkeling and beaching. Hector the captain and Yazi his first mate were friendly and helpful. We saw beautiful coral reefs and turtles. Appetizers and charcuterie board on the beach was a wonderful ending to a beautiful day. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes to swim snorkel and beach it!
Excellent Experience!

5.00This is our third year using Pirate Snorkeling and it is always a thrill. Hector and his team are delightful and very knowledgeable about the reefs and marine life surrounding Fajardo. We have had breathtaking swims with rays, turtles, sharks, and the array of colorful fish. His boat is fully equipped with snorkeling gear, rafts, noodles, and delicious snacks to help you keep you going. We are a family of 11 with an 87 year old gramma who loves the water. Hector and his crew have gone the extra yard to accommodate us, providing special gear to help gramma get in and out of the boat, and this year he took her for a jet ski ride of a lifetime. Our adventures with Hector and his crew are always a highlight of our vacations in Puerto Rico. We highly recommend!

5.00These are the best boat experiences, bar none. Hector is the best!! Snorkeling tours of lovely secluded islands, plus plenty of drinks and finger foods, plus some awesome music on the radio (optional), and great company with a crew who knows how to make people feel like family. And did I mention jet-skis on the side? It's a great time for all ages, with extra-special service for Grandma. - Steve Clark, Amherst, MA

5.00Hector and his wife were fantastic guides and hosts! We had a lovely time. The weather was good, the snorkeling was a lot of fun, and the service was great. Highly recommend - we had two elementary aged kids and a college kid with us. They all had a great time.
