Why Snorkeling in San Juan, Puerto Rico is a Must

San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, is more than just historic forts, colorful streets, and vibrant culture. The surrounding waters of this tropical paradise are teeming with marine life, and snorkeling here is an absolute must-do for any nature lover or adventure seeker. The warm Caribbean waters provide the perfect environment for snorkeling year-round, offering great visibility, calm currents, and a wide array of underwater wonders.

From coral reefs to underwater grass beds, San Juan’s marine ecosystems are rich and diverse. But what makes snorkeling in San Juan truly unique is the chance to encounter manatees and sea turtles — two of the region's most iconic and beloved sea creatures.

Swim With Manatees: The Gentle Giants of the Sea

One of the highlights of our snorkeling tours is the rare opportunity to spot West Indian manatees in their natural habitat. These slow-moving, peaceful animals — often referred to as "sea cows" are incredibly gentle and curious around humans. While sightings are never guaranteed with wild animals, our guides know the best spots and times of day to maximize your chances.

Gliding alongside a manatee as it munches on sea grass or swims gracefully by is a humbling and awe-inspiring experience. It’s no wonder so many guests say that swimming with manatees was the highlight of their trip.

Sea Turtles: Meet the Ocean’s Graceful Navigators

Puerto Rico is home to several species of sea turtles, including green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles, which are often spotted during our snorkeling tours. These elegant creatures can often be seen gracefully navigating the shallow waters near San Juan, occasionally surfacing for air before diving back to the sea floor.

Snorkeling near these ancient mariners offers a magical experience. Watching them glide through the water or rest near coral beds connects you to the deep history and mystery of the ocean. Our guides are well-trained in respectful wildlife interaction and ensure that all encounters are safe for both snorkelers and animals.
