Who This Tour Is For
This tour is for guests who don’t know how to swim, and for anyone who does not feel comfortable in a larger group. We keep the group small so you get more personal attention from your guide, from the beach briefing to your first look underwater. The tour is open to guests ages 8 and up.
If you already feel at ease in the water and want a standard guided snorkel, see our Snorkel Tour. If you want the reef to yourselves, with no other guests on the tour, see our Private Group Snorkel Tour.
What to Expect
The tour lasts 1.5 hours. Start times are 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM, and each time slot is limited to four guests.
Your guide will fit your gear, show you how to breathe through the snorkel, and stay close by the whole time. A flotation vest is provided to all guests. You can relax and move at your own pace while you enjoy the reef and the fish, and, if we are lucky, a sea turtle. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
The online price is $50 per person.
Meeting Point and What to Bring
Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time. Meet in the last parking lot of Balneario El Escambrón in San Juan, a U-shaped blacktop lot close to Batería del Escambrón.
If you are taking an Uber, have the driver drop you at the Hotel Normandie. Walk between the Hotel Normandie and the Sixto Escobar soccer stadium into the back lot of the park.
Bring a swimsuit, a towel, and reef-safe sunscreen.
