If you're even thinking about booking the Serenity snorkel trip--DO IT. This was hands down one of…read morethe best experiences our family has ever had, and that's all thanks to Captain Cesar. From the moment we stepped on board, Cesar treated us like family. He didn't just take us to the usual crowded spots--he brought us to private, breathtaking areas where the coral reefs were absolutely stunning. We snorkeled in crystal-clear water, swam alongside sea turtles, and even spotted manatees and stingrays... it felt like something out of a documentary. And the food... unbelievable. This wasn't your typical "snack" boat. We had all-you-can-eat snacks and drinks for both the kids and adults, plus an incredible onboard spread: fresh shrimp cocktail, perfectly grilled skirt steak, grilled chicken, garlic bread, and then topped it all off with a huge assortment of fresh fruit. It felt like a private floating restaurant. But what really made this trip special was Cesar himself. His energy, hospitality, and genuine care made the entire experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond to make sure every single one of us had an amazing time. We made memories on this trip that will last a lifetime, and we truly can't thank Cesar enough. If you want an experience that's personal, fun, and absolutely unforgettable--this is it.

We knew we didn't want to go on one of those huge catamarans so after research my wife chose vipsnorkeling.com which is part of serenity tours. What can I say. From the moment we met captain Cesar we thought we would have a good time but it was the absolute highlight of our entire week in Puerto Rico. The boat was spotless and Captain Cesar explained every aspect of the trip and how we controlled what we did. We went out to some fantastic reefs and he really knew what we was doing. We felt safe on the water, we had a fantastic time snorkeling, all the equipment was in great condition and when we got back on the boat, we had a beautifully prepared lunch platter waiting for us and full bar. Wow!! Captain was an absolute pleasure and highly professional. We would book with them again in a moment and recommend them to anyone who wants to have a private tour and feel like your money is totally well spent. Great job Captain Cesar!

Captain Rick and his assistant Scott were an amazing duo! The experience from the very beginning…read morewas great. Rick is easy to talk to and is very punctual on returning your call. Unlike most of the other large charter companies Rick answers his own calls and he was able to schedule us the next day. From the moment we were greeted on the dock for our half day excursion he and his assistant were professional and personable, focusing on our comfort and safety rather than just following "the required protocols". This in itself was completely different than our past experiences with other charter companies in Puerto Rico. As we stepped aboard their very well maintained 46' Hatteras Fly Bridge Motor Yacht it was easy to see these guys take great pride and joy in caring for their boat and equipment just as they did their customer service. They had even purchased that morning additional snorkel gear for children just in case on of our couples had children. "Talk about being prepared". They then briefed us on the options for our snorkeling request and allowed us to decide what spots to visit first. Upon arriving at our first destination they provided us with top notch U.S. Divers snorkel equipment and directed us to safety awareness and turned us loose. For the experienced diver this is a dream come true and for the beginner it is slightly challenging however Scott the first mate is an incredible diver and teacher and will dive in next to anyone needing a little extra assistance. Back onboard from our first dive was a great moment to capture some photos of the amazing turquoise water and uninhabited islands along the north east coast off the mainland. They provided a cooler full of adult beverages and sodas as well as bottled water along with the best cheese snacks and crackers, fruit and snack spread with cold cuts. Our second location is most recognized as the island which Pirates Of The Caribbean was filmed. Over all words cannot express how wonderful our experience was with Rick and his crew. As experienced boaters from Texas this is the only way we will charter in the future. Great Job Rick! Email: RickLosh@Gmail.com

This was, without a doubt, the highlight of our PR vacation! I stumbled upon this through some…read moreTrip Advisor reviews and learned that the reserve offers an environmentally-friendly way to see the bio-luminescence. In addition to being environmentally-friendly, it is also cost-effective! Let me tell you more! First of all, the reserve offers a lot of different tours and activities but the one I am writing about is the evening lighthouse tour and hike through the bio-luminescent lagoon. If you wish to the tour I did, I recommend booking it online in advance because this tour WILL sell out. It is SO awesome. When we first arrived to the reserve, we parked our Jeep and checked in. It was very easy checking in. We then covered ourselves head to toe in bug spray which I HIGHLY recommend. Then we walked around the main "office" of the reserve and we got to see a beautiful sunset over the ocean. Everything was so pretty! Once we had everyone checked in for the tour, we got on an open-air shuttle with a group of about 16 people. Our tour guide, Francisco, told us a lot about PR and about the natural habitat and what the reserve is doing to preserve and restore it. Our first stop was the Faro Fajardo (Fajardo Lighthouse). This was gorgeous. We got to go inside this historical building and climb to the top and look out and see so many beautiful sights. The stars and moon were incredible and we also could see our resort as well as many other points in PR. We learned so much about Fajardo and about the ecological systems in that area. After leaving the lighthouse, we went on this long walk in the dark on this really sturdy wooden path that led through mangrove trees and out into this beautiful lagoon. It was so beautiful and you could hear the song of the coquis. Once out at the end of the walkway, we were given long sticks that we were able to use to swirl the water around and see the sparkling bio-luminescence. It was amazing! It was so beautiful and we learned so very much. It also meant a lot to us that the money we spent on the tour was going towards the greater good of protecting the natural environment in Puerto Rico. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is. We wanted to go back during the day but didn't have enough time on our most recent trip so we have it on our to-do list for next time. If you do anything in PR, check this place out!

Inexpensive ($12 - $22pp) tours offered by this 316 acre nonprofit nature park (just down the road…read morefrom Seven Seas Beach and the restaurant Costa Mia) are great value for anyone interested to learn about the variety of ecological systems of Puerto Rico. The Reserva Natural Las Cabezas de San Juan provides guided tours of (among other things) the 3 types of area mangrove forests, the famed Laguna Grande bio-bay, some less traveled beaches and reefs, an active archaeological site, and El Faro, the 1882 Spanish white lighthouse on the top of the tallest point with spectacular 360 degree views around Fajardo. Our family attended a 9:30a tour of the park which included a tram trip to the lighthouse with stops to explore the mangroves and a rocky, windy beach. Our local tour guide and geologist by trade, Francisco, was very friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the reserve and was a wealth of information about Puerto Rico in general, as well. Although our tour was scheduled to be in Spanish, Francisco quickly switched to English when it was clear that all attendees were from the mainland U.S.. We were glad to have brought water, hats, and umbrellas, as there were some portions of the tour in the hot sun. Evening walking bio-bay tours (where you stay on a board walk and activate the dinoflagellates via long poles) tend to fill up weeks to months in advance, so visit the park's website (it has an English version) and make your reservation as soon as you know your travel dates. This can be a great option for travelers who are not interested in kayaking to the bay or would like a quieter, more "one with nature" experience. If you try this, be sure to cover yourself with mosquito repellant, as the bugs are relentless in the mangroves. FYI, Francisco says that the best time of year to view the brightest bio-bay action are from March to July, and you should try to go when the moon is not full; he also says that Mosquito Bay on Vieques is really the best bio-bay, so go there if you have the time. We were very disappointed to find that the park's gift shop was unable to process any transactions during our visit (prime tourism season over the winter break). We were told, "Oh, we just did inventory for the year, so we can't make any more sales." ¿Qué? This was such a shame given that the nonprofit certainly needs funds to further their work and they missed out on more than $500 in sales from the tour attendees during our visit alone (all of whom would have gladly purchased a $20 t-shirt and other items after hearing our guide's convincing spiel about how we could help preserve this ecological wonder). Perhaps this story illustrates some of the economic problems PR is facing.... FYI, the park's entrance is guarded and gated, but it may be a surprise to hear that the beaches surrounding the park as well as the interior's bio-bay are required by law to be accessible to the public. This means that if you are adventurous, you can follow the beach trail from in front of the Costa Mia restaurant until you reach a path that runs right into the bio-bay.
