- Balneario El Escambron - Your snorkel guides will start you out from shoreline where they will go over safety and fundamentals of snorkeling . Usually 5-10 min Getting Comfortable: Your dive pro will start you out in waist deep water (3ft) to get you comfortable with using the equipment and teach you some basic snorkel skills. Everyone learns snorkeling and gets comfortable differently and at different timing which is why we make all of the tours private with your own snorkel guides for you and your group. Guided Snorkel Tour: After the guides get you comfortable and they are comfortable with you they will give you a “one hour and a half snorkeling experience in the ocean”, showing you all the beautiful aquatic life and fish.

Amazing Tour Guides - JD and Orlando were phenomenal. They were friendly, fun and very knowledgeable about the area. My husband struggled on the rock climbing, but Orlando was patient, supportive, gave great direction and made sure that my husband not only stayed safe, but was able to experience the entire tour. These two are absolutely fantastic at what they do. Thank you!!

Family Adventures!!! - We had a great time!! Here are some feedback. El Yunque was definitely an adventure. Pretty strenuous but our guides helped us tremendously by making sure we don’t get hurt. I am so glad they mandated life jackets & helmets to keep us safe. I couldn’t believe some other ppl on other tour wore flip flops and no helmets because it was pretty slippery at some areas and some ppl fell on their butt. I thought it might get cold but no, T-shirt/short bathing suits underneath was perfect. We got to do water slide, cliff jump & rope and they were so much fun!! Kids definitely enjoyed it. When we got back from the hike, there was a sorbet truck. MUST to try it!!! Delicious ❤️We were hungry and they provided us chips and water.
Snorkeling was ok because it was stormy afternoon but we got to see a turtle and some fish! The tour guide was super friendly and knew a lot of thing so ask him questions!
You definitely want to wear old shoes you don’t mind getting mud. I wish we had brought towels to dry ourselves after hike & snorkeling. Pack some protein snacks because you get a good workout from the hike!

Great tour! - This tour was so much fun! The rainforest was beautiful and we felt so at ease hiking through the forest thanks to our amazing tour guide Athena. We saw beautiful waterfalls and went down a waterfall slide. After this we went snorkeling and saw many fish and even saw a sea turtle. Overall a great experience!

THIS WAS SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! And definitely a confidence builder! - This tour was one of the most life-changing experiences I've ever had. I booked it impulsively because I wanted to do something adventurous in Puerto Rico, even though I'm not naturally adventurous—I'm scared of everything (lizards, spiders, heights, water), and I can't swim! But I couldn't miss the chance to visit the only U.S. rainforest. Fortunately, they provide life jackets and helmets, which were very effective. I'm so glad I booked with this specific company, and our tour guide, Xander, was amazing.
Xander was personable, informative, and most importantly, incredibly patient and encouraging, even as I had panic attacks at almost every part of the excursion! He motivated me to complete the entire tour, including a cliff jump I never thought I could do. I’m really grateful for his support.
Xander was also very knowledgeable about the rainforest and shared fun facts about the area. He took us to a delicious, authentic Puerto Rican BBQ spot that was so good I bought one of everything!
The tour ended with snorkeling, where I did more panicking, and Xander did more reassuring. Despite my nerves, I was able to enjoy the experience, thanks to his constant check-ins and encouragement. I honestly doubt I would have completed the tour without him. I’m so grateful to have had such an awesome guide and company. When I return to Puerto Rico, I’d definitely do a second run of the El Yunque Rainforest tour—or any other tour—as long as it’s with San Juan Tours.
Many thanks to San Juan Tours for an unforgettable experience!

Not sure if it was the guide or tour company (sanjuantourspr.com) but I would look elsewhere - The good: Transportation provided. Did not have to drive to Rainforest (narrow roads); small group - 6 of us for Snorkeling and 5 for rain forest; my 11 year old daughter had fun.
The ok: The snorkeling area was a small paid park in San Juan. No turtles but some fish. Typical activities for El Yunque (apparently) - water slide, rock jump and rope swing. Very crowded but guides on other tours seemed nice and engaged with their groups. Did provide bottled water and chips. We were at the snorkeling area for about 90 minutes (tops) and about 2 1/2 hours in rainforest.
The not so good: guide 45 minutes late picking us up. He was also a poor communicator - he didn't provide an overview of the day, did not describe the area or history of Puerto Rico and had to be prompted to provide even the most superficial information about 2 plants in the rainforest (ginger and bamboo). He did not help anyone up rocks and went ahead or took breaks to smoke. No stops for food so we were really hungry by the end.
In all, this was not what I had been hoping for or expecting based on the other reviews. Given the high cost, I would definitely look elsewhere.
