• Observe tropical fish and coral reefs

The Experience

The dive starts with a safety briefing from your guide, then you enter the warm Caribbean Sea where tropical fish move through colorful coral reefs and sea turtles often swim past. Your guide stays with you throughout, pointing out marine species and keeping watch. The whole outing takes 90 minutes from start to finish.

All snorkel gear is included—mask, fins, snorkel and wetsuit if you need one. A local guide leads the tour in English or Spanish, so language is not a barrier. As you glide through the water, you don't need to be a strong swimmer, but you do need to be comfortable in the water and at least moderately fit; the tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or during pregnancy.

After the dive, you get a complimentary GoPro video capturing highlights of your underwater journey—a way to relive the moment and share it later. If the camera malfunctions, there is no refund for the tour itself, so the video is a bonus, not a guarantee.

Top questions

Can I wear my glasses or contacts under the snorkel mask?

Prescription glasses cannot be worn under a snorkel mask, but contact lenses are allowed. Underwater magnification makes objects appear about 25% closer and larger, so you may find you see well enough without correction.

What's included in the snorkel tour price?

The tour includes all snorkel gear, a local guide, and a complimentary GoPro video of your dive. Food, drinks and gratuities are not included, and hotel pickup is not part of this tour.

How long does the whole tour take?

The snorkel tour runs 90 minutes total, from the safety briefing through the dive and back.

Is this tour suitable for beginners or children?

Yes—the tour is designed for all skill levels and welcomes children from age 8 who are comfortable in the water. You don't need to be a strong swimmer, but moderate fitness and water comfort are required.

What marine life will I see besides sea turtles?

You'll swim through colorful coral reefs and encounter tropical fish throughout the dive. Sea turtles often swim by, but the reef itself is the main attraction, with plenty of marine species to observe.
