Vieques Snorkeling Tour

Escape into a little piece of paradise on this underwater tour around the island of Vieques. Departing from San Juan, this tour is designed for all snorkeling skill levels, including non-swimmers. If you’re somebody interested in learning about Puerto Rico’s local marine environment from a guide, this excursion is for you!

Vieques is Puerto Rico’s top snorkeling destination. With its clear waters, colorful reef formations, and diverse marine life, Vieques is also a great place to get away from the crowds. Twenty-one miles long by eight miles wide, this beautiful island is ringed by beaches that can only be accessed via boat.

For over half a century, the island of Vieques was largely off-limits to the public because of the active military presence. Today, the area is under the protection of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This organization monitors fishing activities and access to the island’s waters, which keeps Vieques as ecologically pristine as possible. That’s also why this island is considered one of the best-kept “secrets” for engaging in allowed snorkeling and diving activities.

There are no rivers streaming silt into Vieques’ waters, so visibility under the surface is truly crystal clear. When you book with Bespoke Lifestyle Management, you’ll travel to the island on our brand-new customized dive and snorkel boat, Fish Tank. The ride itself is an easy 20-minute sail down Puerto Rico’s coast.

Your experience will start with a 101 briefing on safety practices and snorkeling. Top-quality snorkeling equipment will be provided, including flotation devices. Your guide will also provide information on how to avoid damaging the natural ecosystem while still enjoying your experience. If you’re a bit nervous about snorkeling as a first-timer, don’t worry. Our guides will help you relax and feel confident before setting out on the tour. Your guide will also help you identify different types of coral and the best places to spot marine life in the Caribbean reef.

After your snorkeling session, you’ll get the chance to relax on one of Vieques’ secluded beaches. If you look west, you’ll see the towering mountains of the El Yunque Rain Forest on Puerto Rico’s mainland. Meanwhile, your captain and crew will be serving a variety of local snacks and drinks for your enjoyment. There’s no better way to end your island adventure!
