The reefs off San Juan and Fajardo run thick with green turtles, and the best trips anchor right over them. These snorkeling tours are compared below: which sail by catamaran, which hand out gear and lunch, how big the groups get, and what each costs, so you can pick clear water over a crowded boat.

San Juan Guided Snorkel With Turtles Tour and Videos - Certified Diver Instruction (Even If You Can’t Swim)

1.San Juan Guided Snorkel With Turtles Tour and Videos

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

San Juan turtle snorkeling from Escambrón Beach with a pro diver, all gear included, and a GoPro video. Small groups up to 20.

“Organizers were very nice. However, instructions to find them at the beach were vague and took us half an hour to find them. Also, we were taken way into the water, in an area with 4’ waves and undertoe current (quite frightening, and then told that *this* was not really the area where turtles would be at). The actual place, where algae are, is where we were taken for the last 10 minutes of the experience. There was another company offering the “swimming with turtles” in a much better area (bay, part of Escambron beach). I wish Viator would have put us with that other group instead.”

“This was a wonderful experience for us. We’ve done snorkeling in the past, but never with the jets. This company was extremely thorough and very clear in their instructions. Super professional! They allowed us to really enjoy ourselves and made sure everyone was safe at all times. The group was small and intimate and we made some new friends. Lastly, the real gems of this company were our tour guides. Terrence and Samuel were so knowledgeable and true professionals. Thank you for another great adventure. We’ll surely be back again. I highly recommend this company for any water sports you may be interested in.”

Water was clear and sand was soft. Then we went to tamarindo beach and got to sea a turtle, coral, fishes, stingray. I would recommend through it did take us 1 hour of traveling from taxi to arrive at ferry terminal”

“Great experience. You are out on the water in the boat & in the water for quite a bit, i don’t usually need them, but did need motion sickness meds this time around. Was a little scary going out into the deeper waters with the guide/group, but glad i made it out rather than waiting on the boat. Nice time/conversations with the group afterwards.”

“We had the best time on this private boat tour! Derek was an awesome captain- super friendly, laid back, and really made the whole experience feel tailored. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. The food hit the spot and the cold local beers were on point. What really made this a worthy experience was how chill and private it was. We saw other boats packed with people and it looked crowded and hectic, like a whole production. Ours was relaxed and felt like our own little escape. If you’re looking for something easy, fun, and not tourist-trappy, this…”
