Our Commitment to Sustainability

Pirate Snorkeling specializes in introducing guests to the amazing underwater life and natural beauty of Puerto Rico. We are passionate about marine-life and eco-tourism and hope that our guests are inspired to make a commitment to protect our oceans and marine-life too. We ask that you do not touch coral, fish, or turtles and please, never feed the fish anything a human would eat. Help our reefs and oceans by using sustainable practices such as reef safe sunscreen, reusable water bottles, and reusable cups. 

Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee the amount or type of fish you will see on our tours. We do not feed the fish to bring them close to visitors. This is harmful to the fish’s natural diet and it interferes with their natural feeding cycles.

Adventure Tips

Reserve Your Rental in Advance

Due to limited gear availability, especially post-pandemic, complete the online waiver and book ahead to secure your preferred watercraft and time slot.

Wear Water-Ready Footwear

Choose shoes you don’t mind getting wet or muddy to ensure better traction while launching and landing along the riverbanks.

Bring a Dry Bag for Essentials

Keep your phone, keys, and snacks secure and dry during your paddle for peace of mind and convenience on the water.

Check Weather and Water Conditions

The Vermilion River is calm but stays close to shore if winds pick up or the river becomes busy with boat traffic for safety.
