Fantastic marine life - The team was fantastic and very knowledgeable. More of a guided snorkeling experience as the guide was in front trying to spot different marina life. Ex: turtles, sting rays, octopus. Had a lot of fun jumping from the second level of the dive boat (not a catamaran). Very rough boat ride out to the area so not great if you easily get sea sick. Would have preferred to snorkel first and then be able to hang out by the beach with drinks. Overall it was a great experience!

Perfect excursion! - We had a great time, thank you to the captain and crew! This excursion was the perfect amount of time, the 4hrs went by quickly but it was action packed. We saw a ton of fish, turtles, and even a barracuda! I would highly recommend this excursion and can't wait to try others in the future!

My family day snorkeling. - Every part was great from the beach part to learn on our 1st stop and our 2nd stop to be in deeper water. Love all the instructors they were all friendly and very helpful. Thank you Laura and Freddy you guys made my trip with my family very memorable. Also the light snacks and drinks was a plus.

Wonderful family adventure! - Fantastic trip! Worth the time and investment. My kids had never snorkeled, but the staff was great at showing everyone what to do. Loved the boat ride and snorkeling around Vieques. We saw sea turtles and nerf sharks! The snacks and drinks were a nice touch.
Considered trying to ferry over to Culbera or Viques, and make our own adventure, but I couldn't replicate what Pure Adventure is doing.

Great family trip! We loved it! - Luis and Freddy showed us a great time! My grumpy teenagers had no complaints and one even said it was his favorite thing he has ever done. We saw a manatee at the pier, sea turtles, an octopus, lots of tropical fish and a stingray! Freddy was very patient with the kids and made sure the less confident swimmers on our tour felt safe with flotation devices and comfortable with their snorkels. My family are all strong swimmers and we got to explore to our hearts content. We also enjoyed looking for coral and coconuts on the beach on Vieques. The trip was a perfect length. Would definitely do again!

Great Time - Great trip! The first stop was a little boring. There wasn’t much to see but I understand why they do it. For those less experienced with snorkeling to get comfortable. I did manage to see a stingray there though. The second snorkeling stop was magnificent. We saw three turtles, multiple kinds of stingrays, lots of beautiful fish. Well worth it.

A Feast for the Eyes! - Our favorite parts of the trip were views and the wildlife! The gorgeous views of Puerto Rico as we left the island and approached the beach were stunning! The guides snorkeled with us and pointed out octopus, fish, stingrays and sea turtles! What an amazing and affordable adventure!

Goldilocks snorkeling tour (just right) - Our guides were awesome, knowledgeable and entertaining but with safety as priority one. We had several families on our tour with kids of varying ages, which was a relief to my only child 11 yo. We saw rays, turtles, lots and lots of fish. And there was a manatee hanging out at the dock too. The wraps are on the small side, but it was enough for the 4 hours, plus other snacks like nuts and chips. Appreciated the adult beverages served toward the end. I highly recommend this tour.
