About this experience

SNORKEL AND BEACH TOUR TO VIEQUES ISLAND, PUERTO RICO! THE FAVORITE SNORKELING DESTINATION in Puerto Rico is the Island of Vieques, with crystal clear waters, colorful reef formations, breath-taking marine life, sea turtles and away from the crowds! 21 miles long by 8 miles wide, this beautiful Island is ringed by secluded beaches with limited access (only by boat).

Away from the crowds means that the reef formations are unspoiled, the beaches are pristine and the sea life is truly the best that Puerto Rico has to offer. Remember, for over half a century the Island of Vieques and surrounding waters were off limits to the public during the active naval military presence.

Today the area is under the guidance and protection of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service meaning that access is limited and overfishing is controlled making Vieques the best place for snorkeling and diving!
