10.San Juan Snorkel with Turtles and Manatee’s; Free Video and Rum!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 79 reviews · from $82

“This is a guided tour. John and Luis were fantastic. Both were clear and to the point regarding instructions and what to expect. While we did not see manatees on the first outing, we did get to see marine life. Since manatees are not guaranteed, because they are wild creatures, we were told that we could come back at a later time. We had planned to come back the same day, but ended up going back out two days later, where we did get a chance to see them. This is definitely a must if you have time.”
