Searched and searched before our Puerto Rico trip for the right excursion for us and ended up booking the full day East Island Excursions catamaran sail and beach snorkel day. The booking process, checking in, and boarding were seamless. The crew were professional and ensured safety was a priority. They included all drinks and food, and even though our boat was large, it didn't feel cramped. The lunch was make your own sandwiches with fresh ingredients and it was very good. The only disappointing thing was the snorkeling. The beach had instructions said stay on one side of the boat, so it was very limited and not much to see. The beach was only able to be explored a brief walk, so no real exploration. You need beach chairs or an umbrella to truly enjoy that part. Most people stayed on the boat.
When we got to the snorkel part, it was adjacent to another island and although there was a big reef, not much was seen besides a ray. A group tour of about 100 jet skis came splashing by and likely scared off anything that was around. The water was lovely, and despite the snorkel let down, we enjoyed our day. Nice to see the islands from the water. The catamaran has nice nets and exterior as well as interior areas to feel comfortable on the ride. They have a slide, water mats, and a jumping area from the top deck, so if you just like being in the water, this was a good option.
