Great experience. I... - Great experience. I wasn't able to see any manatees the first time I went out, but they told me to come back for another try. I returned the next day and was able to come face to face with a manatee and even had a stingray swim right below me! Great experience and great company!

Manatees & Turtles - Short swim right in the bay. The mask & snorkle were surprisingly nice. The water was murky so the turtle & fish viewing wasn't ideal but the manatees hang out in that bay so the guide found them easily.

Face-to-face with a Manatee! Worth every dollar! - Bring your ENTHUSIASM! Tour guide and lifeguard were both VERY professional, and despite choppy, murky water, they spotted manatees within minutes of the tour beginning. There had been a rip-tide advisory on the coast outside the lagoon all week, so I was worried the visibility would be too low to see any animals. Despite the murkiness, we saw over a dozen varieties of fish, including Remora, Surgeonfish, Sergent Major, Agujon, and Pufferfish, as well as multiple manatee sightings (Including a shy and blurry baby!!!) The guide mentioned the floaty potatoes pick up on positive energy and I totally felt it! One mischieviously lifted up the tour guide right out of the water just like he mentioned at the start, and the guide demonstrated proper freeze-response for an animal-led interaction prioritizing the safety and health of our sea-friends. Then after she playfully pushed him around, she came right up to face-to-face with me! I only wish the guide had caught the beautiful moment on camera, but it will live forever in my memories! This was an INCREDIBLE experience that I'll treasure forever, and when we weren't able to find any turtles afterward, the guides were very accommodating with scheduling a follow-up tour in the days following. Basic searches suggest that Turtles are most active foragers during the morning and evening, so I recommend the 10AM or 4PM tours, but the sea cows are active all day and there are plenty of fish taking shelter in the beautiful stone structures that have been laid across the sandy floor to encourage nesting.

Cloudy water - 2 turtles, no manatees - no rum - The water was cloudy and we saw only 2 turtles and no manatees. No rum at the end of the experience.

Do it yourself - You would be much better off brining your own snorkeling gear or buying some locally and doing it yourself. The fins are hard plastic and bent so they hurt and require a stupid amount of work to get anywhere. We saw three small turtles that blended in with the brown sea grass and a starfish. No manatees to be found. Your free video of the experience is a subscription to their you tube channel. Your free rum is waterfall drinking from a community bottle. This was a birthday excursion for my 12 year old son who was so excited to see manatees - total let down.

Save your money. - I went with my girlfriend and brother and saw no manatees and no turtles. Worse, they didn’t have flippers that fit and we got no rum. Not worth $250.

DONT RECOMMEND - We were supposed to go on this excursion tomorrow. However Luis canceled our booking. I reached out asking for clarification on parking and where to find the tent as it is our first time in Puerto Rico. Luis snapped at me, said I could find it on the booking, and canceled our excursion. All it says in the booking is “Playita del Condado”.
