Itinerary
We will begin our adventure with an ocean side safety briefing while everyone is fitted for their equipment. Once we chat about how to responsibly and passively interact with wildlife we hope to see, we will walk down to the beach and hit the water! We will take it nice and slow so you have a few moments to get accustomed to your gear and you feel confident enough to enjoy the underwater world. From arrival to departure the whole experience is 1.5 hours, about an hour in the water. At the end of the tour we will transfer your videos to you. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go!

Saieed and George were super patient with our group! Saieed would make sure we were doing okay throughout the excursion. If you wear glasses, wear contacts upon arriving. I wish I knew glasses would be collected before departing to the ocean, I would have put contacts in. I have pretty bad vision without my glasses/contacts, so I unfortunately did not get to see sea turtles clearly.
This experience was so fun I actually went last year back in June and I’m coming back in a few weeks I will definitely be booking again!! Super fun staff was so nice took great pictures of us it’s some of my favorite memories from my trip for sure
Amazing experience! We saw more than just turtles and we got to really experience part of the ocean. Instructors were very informative and interactive with the group! Picked up sea creatures with his own hands just to show us. GREAT pictures and videos! I got nauseous during the experience and our instructor (I forget his name now, I apologize) was very in tune with me and showed genuine care and concern. Checked on me often and made sure I was ok the entire time. Would recommend to anyone visiting! Such a fun and cool experience. ❤️
My daughters had a wonderful time the pictures and videos captured were amazing! Will definitely be booking again.
Sean was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable, showed us several different fish and marine life, and made some of our more reluctant snorkelers feel safe and we loved it!! Only disappointment was in not seeing more turtles (I did see one) but that was totally out of his control. We would definitely recommend!!
It was so much fun. The guide was awesome and very knowledgeable. Water was warm. They provide all the gear
Wonderful guide Chris and it was a last minute excursion online easily and the sign up was immediate and detailed directions to the spot and we were off! It was not crowded and was easy to snorkel with a small group! The coat was much cheaper for the popular space to snorkel and they were by far the most affordable and easiest to work with. Would highly recommend!
The guide talked wayyyyyyy too much. The other group with us was already swimming as we were still being lectured. He was nice but ugh I felt like 1hr of the activity was him talking to us. The photos weren’t the best either, can’t really tell who’s who. I wish the swim lasted longer unfortunately. Still very cool, we got to see 2 turtles and lots of small fish.
this was such an amazing experience! our tour guides made sure that everyone was included and had a great time. we saw so many sea creatures. 10/10
Loved snorkelling and got to see plenty of colorful fish and a friendly and lovely turtle. Great experience and totally recommend
It was an amazing time, not only to get up close and personal with the beautiful sea creatures or Puerto Rico, but to have a very knowledgeable guide that can name the fish and give you fun facts about them as well! Our guide was Saeed and he was extremely helpful and a great calming presence for anyone that maybe nervous out in the water. It was the highlight of our trip!
No experience necessary, the guides were great, they provide you with everything needed. Just bring your own towel.
Great experience! Can’t wait to do it again. I will recommend this to family and friends. Thanks for the experience.
Said was a great instructor! Very attentive and nice.
Experience was fun and our guide was very helpful and even gave us some recommendations for restaurants and areas to visit after
Booked the day before and trip canceled a few hours prior to departure they had over booked tour
Scott was great. The directions sent got us to the exact spot, and the tips where to go after came in handy. The snorkeling itself was the perfect pace and we saw turtles, lots of tropical fish and sea urchin. A lovely morning for myself and 9 year old.
So much fun! Keaton was a great guide! He guided us to see 4 turtles in total. It was well worth it!
What an amazing experience swimming with Turtles. Great video of the experiences shared right away after we wrapped up. Very well done by the organizers keeping everyone together to see the turtles 🐢
I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with Snorkeling in Paradise. I booked this excursion as a surprise for my husband during our honeymoon, and it ended up being nothing but stressful and frustrating. Their system completely messed up our booking dates. We were scheduled for an excursion on a day when we weren’t even in Puerto Rico yet. SCOTT reached out to me via text about the trip on that incorrect date, which is how I even realized something was wrong in the first place. I contacted Vaitor three days ago to try to fix the issue, and despite multiple attempts to get help, I have received no resolution. Neither Vaitor nor SCOTT have made any effort to correct the mistake or make things right. For something that was meant to be a special, memorable experience during our honeymoon, this turned into a huge disappointment. The lack of communication, accountability, and customer service is unacceptable. I would not recommend booking with them based on this experience.
Amazing experience with the guide Said!
Easy snorkling with good views of tropical fish and several turtles. A bit crowded as this was the only place to snorkling during a windy time and red flags for swimming all over the island. Be ready for many snorkling groups but we still had a great experience. Wonderful guide who kept us in the water longer than other tours. And provided underwater pictures and videos.
Our guide Erik was so wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and pointed out so much sea life... plus we saw FIVE sea turtles! They swam alongside us and our guide took lots of underwater pictures for us. Absolutely worth it!
Our tour guide for this snorkeling trip was Eric he was very knowledgeable and knew all the best places for us! I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a beginning friendly snorkeling trip!
We got to see beautiful turtles, so much fun, was easy to find and had so much fun with our guide Erik!!! Got so many awesome photos!!
THIS WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. Thanks so much. I love bubbles. Bubbles is my favorite turtle. I am mermaid.
The experience was fine but over priced in my opinion you don’t get to do what they sell in the pictures on line , although I find the company very dishonest regarding re funding, my husband and daughter were not able to make the experience and they said that they will at least give me a refund of one of the tickets. It’s been more than a week, still waiting on a response.
Erik was a knowledgeable and great guide. We saw sea turtles, puffer fish, and lots of other schools of fish. Also saw the hotel Normandie bridge wreckage.
I had never been snorkeling, but Erik was an excellent guide, directing us around the bay and pointing out schools of fish and feeding sea turtles at every opportunity. What a great way to spend a morning!
Erik our tour guide was awesome! He helped us stay all together and have a great time on our tour. We saw multiple sea turtles and had a blast. Would highly recommend!
Erik was a fantastic guide, showing us all the wonders of Escambron’s waters! We saw a bunch of turtles and some amazing fish and he took some incredible photos and videos of us. Highly recommend the experience!!
Thank you Erik, so much for taking us on the water and making us feel comfortable for our first time snorkeling. You were awesome at pointing out and finding all the fish and lots of sea turtles.Erik was awesome, would highly recommend.
Extremely fun time snorkeling with the ocean life! Erik was a great tour guide, and we had the opportunity to see five turtles!
We saw 5 turtles today!!! Genuinely so cool and Erik was so knowledgeable and patient. He took lots of great photos of everyone/everything too!! 10/10 recommend
We had a wonderful time with this turtle snorkeling experience! We got to see three turtles, one of them at a really close distance, which was very special. Scott was a fantastic guide - I had no prior snorkeling experience, but Scott's patient guidance made the experience easy and comfortable! And he took great videos and photos for us to return home with. I made a mistake when inputting my phone number and didn't receive confirmation about location in the morning, and had to call - and even though it was Christmas Day, the staff and Scott helped us out very quickly. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Me and my mother came to SJ for 5 days to celebrate her birthday. Snorkeling was out main event for Wednesday and let me say, Claudio was awesome !! Great energy, great swimmer and very enthusiastic. Guided us through the water, through the reef, through the tides and even helped some of us from the group who needed a hand. I highly recommend it !
Everyone, thanks for the fun, memorable snorkeling experience! As a large group (5 adults, 9 kids ages 7-13) visiting PR and needing to find an affordable, family-friendly snorkeling experience on very short notice, we are happy we found you guys. You were all so accommodating, patient (big group, lots of kids!), kind, and knowledgeable. For such a large group booking, it worked out perfectly! Sufficient time, very fair with pricing, and we so appreciate the TON of beautiful videos/photos of the fish and turtles (which was such a nice surprise and added value to our experience). P.s. Sean (?) you were AMAZING with kids: explained the steps very slowwwwwly and so calmly to children, completely wiping away any nerves/anxiousness young kids may have about being in the water. Thank you:)
Sean was amazing! This was such a fun experience for us and our kids, ages 7 and 10. They had so much fun. Sean made this a great 1st time experience for us all.
This was an amazing experience our guide Sean was super helpful and really friendly! There were several turtles, we got some amazing pictures and saw some great marine life!
This is an excellent business to choose for snorkeling in San Juan. You get crystal-clear instructions on parking and good equipment. Eric is a fantastic guide. We saw several sea turtles and interesting fish. Excellent experience
We went with Sean and had a great experience! We saw starfish, squid, a turtle, and a bunch of cool fish.
Our guide Said was very detailed in his instructions. It was easy to find the meeting spot because of the timely text messages. The group was not large sized so the guide could give attention to every person in the group. Everyone in our group had a lot of fun. We also got pictures and videos of our tour on time. Definitely recommend this activity.
Scott was an excellent guide. He showed my kids how to use the equipment and pointed out the different fish we were seeing. And we saw a turtle which was amazing! Highly recommend!
Scott was our experience guide, and he was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole adventure feel effortless and fun. The snorkeling experience was truly out of this world, from the beautiful marine life to the overall vibe of the trip. The videos and photos are an amazing extra and totally worth it—they captured moments we’ll treasure forever. This is an absolute must-do when you visit Puerto Rico. Highly recommend Paradise Snorkel Co. and ask for Scott if you can!
Fantastic experience! There were only 3 of us participating in the afternoon tour so it felt like a private excursion! Our guide was extremely caring, helping everyone to feel secure in their snorkelling gear and in the water, which was a bit choppy. He guided us around the bay, taking us to see loads of fish in the nurseries and to the sea grass where we found a baby turtle. The grand finale was meeting Bubbles ... an unforgettable experience! Best of all was the respect that was shown for the turtles ... no hordes of people chasing them/frightening them as we have experience in other countries.
This is a phenomenal experience! Erik was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He prioritizes saftey and is very knowledgeable about the ocean and it's wildlife. We got to see some incredible things under the water with a very helpful guide. We had an excellent experience, can't recommend this enough!
Said was great!!!!! He was well educated, made you feel comfortable and involved in our experience. I highly recommend.
This experience was very special! My husband and I booked it to celebrate our anniversary and it was everything we had expected and more. Said, our guide was super nice and was always on the lookout for small or bigger animals to show us. We TOTALLY loved it. Thanks to all who make this happen for people like us
Phenomenal guidance by Scott- only downside is if you're not much of a swimmer it can be tough in the beginning but it gets better. Saw beautiful sea creatures and a baby turtle. 10/10 highly recommended!
