Snorkeling Tour to Vieques Island: Sea Turtles & ReefsA snorkeling and beach tour to Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, where you enter protected reefs ringed by secluded beaches accessible only by boat. The island sits under U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service protection, which means limited access and controlled fishing—the reason the reef formations stay unspoiled and sea life stays abundant.

A USCG-licensed captain and professional local guide lead the group; snorkeling equipment, light refreshments and beverages are included.Is it for me?Book this for an afternoon when you've been on the island at least a day and your schedule is firm—the protected reefs and secluded beaches only accessible by boat make the extra travel time worth it, and the longer time in the water versus tours from Fajardo means you actually snorkel instead of ride.
