Paddle boards, snorkel gear, light refreshments and all fees are in the price; only tips are extra. 4.86 from 856 reviews at €123 per person for 4h. In our comparison: #28 of 70 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview SNORKEL AND BEACH TOUR TO VIEQUES ISLAND, PUERTO RICO!  THE FAVORITE SNORKELING DESTINATION in Puerto Rico is the Island of Vieques, with crystal clear waters, colorful reef formations, breath-taking marine life, sea turtles and away from the crowds! 21 miles long by 8 miles wide, this beautiful Island is ringed by secluded beaches with limited access (only by boat). Away from the crowds means that the reef formations are unspoiled, the beaches are pristine and the sea life is truly the best that Puerto Rico has to offer. Remember, for over half a century the Island of Vieques and surrounding waters were off limits to the public during the active naval military presence. Today the area is under the guidance and protection of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service meaning that access is limited and overfishing is controlled making Vieques the best place for snorkeling and diving! ## Before you book - Meeting point: You must arrive 45 mins earlier to the… - Starts 08:00, 13:00: 2 departures a day - Food included: Beverages, snacks, alcoholic beverages - Age 6+: Minimum age is 6 years **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €123 per person - Duration: 4h - Rating: 4.86/5 from 856 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Pure Adventure Corp. - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 08:00, 13:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-25 ## Reviews 4.86 from 856 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 829 of 856. - 5 stars: 785 (92%) - 4 stars: 44 (5%) - 3 stars: 13 (2%) - 2 stars: 5 (1%) - 1 star: 9 (1%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the supportive crew and marine life sightings; poor underwater visibility limits snorkeling on some trips. **Praised:** - Guides who explain marine life and help snorkelers spot turtles, rays and fish - Patient instruction and help in the water for children and nervous swimmers - Wraps, snacks and drinks that many reviewers enjoy - Beach time with options to swim, explore or paddle board **Complaints:** - Some describe clear water, while others report poor visibility when snorkeling Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2025-07-24 to 2026-08-16); last checked 2026-10-04. ## What's included - Paddle boards - Light refreshments - USCG license Captain - All Fees and Taxes - Use of Snorkelling equipment - Longer time for snorkeling and beach compared to tours departing from Fajardo - Professional Local Guide - Ecological interpretation about the surroundings, marine life and history... - Beverages, snacks, alcoholic beverages ## Not included - Gratuities ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 08:00, 13:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-25 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point You must arrive 45 mins earlier to the tour for your check-in and waiver sign-in.
