“The boat tour to Culebra was the best!We were there before any other boats and we were able to enjoy the beach and ammennities (paddleboards) that they havve to offer.

We ended up at Sandy Point, Vieques and it was amazing. We saw many turtles, a huge stingray and many other sea animals. Victor and Felix took care of us in the water pointing our marine life as they guide us. We experince the best of the two islands, thank you crew!!”

“Great snorkeling but much more! The crew genuinely cared for all participants. Safety first was their priority. Wide range of ages on board including young children and 60+ adults. The crew worked hard to keep the passengers happy and the boat clean. After snorkeling we relocated close to an island beach and had lunch and drinks and free time to do more snorkling and walking on the beach. Would go again in a heartbeat!”
Snorkel from San Juan’s shore with green sea turtles, colorful fish, patient guides, and free videos in a 90-minute small-group outing.
“The experience was great. Anthony was our instructor and he was very knowledgeable’about the fish species. Unfortunately we were not able to see turtles since it’s based on availability.‘Either way, me and my family had a good time. For people that are not strong swimmers, be warm you are going to be swimming deeper and away from the shore. Within my group we had someone that was a weak summer but they were still able to join with the support of the buoy. I would recommend with reasonable expectations that you may/may not see turtles.”

“Great Escape PR canceled our snorkeling trip due to weather which was understandable. As it was the my only opportunity to take my kids snorkeling I requested a refund since the trip did not take place. Great Escape denied my refund and kept my money. Very upsetting as I'm a working class individual and having to forfeit $150 for a trip that did not take place was very upsetting. I called the company and emailed several times, they were unresponsive. I would never recommend their services to anyone. Please use a different service provider.”
