While the instructor and equipments were fine, it wasn’t a learning experience as advertised. It was a regular snorkeling experience in open waters while we were looking for more learning experience to help us get comfortable. However, this is a good tour for someone who is looking to snorkeling and not a learning lesson.

We were able to see 3 different reef areas with tons of fish. Our guides were helpful, made sure to check in with us regularly and made this a very positive experience. The water was pretty calm which is good for people who might tend to get motion sickness. Afterward they had water and a variety of snacks. There was plenty of parking at the Seven Seas Beach parling lot, which was about an 8 minute walk from the meeting area. Definitely recommend this experience.

Where do I start? I took my 12 yr old and my 6yr old. To be honest I had a little bit of anxiety on how we were going to get thru it. But Luis and Josh were super supportive and patient and made sure we felt comfortable the whole way thru. I was impressed with the attention to detail on safety as they made certain that our equipment fit us just right and was worn correctly. Going out into the water was slow for us with a 6yr old, but , Josh and Luis were patient moving at our comfortable pace. Once out there, my 6yr old got the hang of it and was able to explore freely. My 12yr old loved every second as well. There were times out in the water where I was paying so much close attention to my boys that I didn’t even see where Luis and Josh were but every now and again I could hear Luis telling me in Spanish that we were doing great and that he was right behind and to not worry. I cannot speak enough on how professional and comforting these guys were and I’m so happy we did it because my boys could not stop talking about the Sting Ray, fish, jelly fish and King and Queen Conch they were able to see up close. I highly recommend and we will be revisiting these guys when we come back!

Nice first experience snorkeling, guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun, I thought the water was going to be crystal clear but we were still able see schools of fish and different fishes, along with a stingray!

It’s a great snorkeling tour that we use every time we come to the island. Joshua is great and always points out great finds along the way. I recommend the life vest if just to use it as a float, my 55 year old hockey knees appreciated it!

The lessons were helpful, though late starting. We saw a few fish, but not too many (though we know you can’t control nature haha). Important to note that the lessons did not come with water, snacks or marine identification card as described on their website. The guide was very patient and did help with getting our children out in the water and comfortable. He checked in frequently.

my sister came with me to celebrate my birthday in Puerto Rico this past weekend. I planned a trip to the rainforest and she asked for snorkeling. He planned this short experience for one of our last days on the island. Our guide Joshua was very kind and friendly. He took the time to explain what we would do and how to do it as well as being patient with us when we had trouble. We were part of a small group of only four people. We sat and chatted with Joshua about the island, and what kind of fish we would see. After a short explanation about our gear, and how to properly snorkel, we went out for a short swim, and I immediately started seeing fish. I saw four angel fish, and at least six or seven other kinds of fish. The water wasn’t very deep and I felt very safe. Unfortunately, my sister and I had made the mistake of eating right before and she became seasick. Joshua was so patient that he helped her out of the water and back to the shore and still came back to guide us back in afterwards. I would strongly recommend this experience for beginners and even novice snorkelers looking for something fun to do while in PR.

My husband and I had never snorkel before, so we decided to take a class. Joshua was a great instructor. He explained the process clearly and helped us with any challenges we had while snorkeling. Thanks to this class we were able to enjoy our trip to Culebra which included a snorkeling tour in Tamarindo beach. We appreciate all your help Joshua!
