“Tiger was a wonderful guide who showed us all the coral and fish we might see out on the Tres Palamas Marine Reserve. It was amazing everything we saw out there! My only complaint was the start time was a little ambiguous. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be at the shop or at the beach at 9 am (the answer is the shop).”

2.Guided Coral Reef Snorkeling Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 127 reviews · from $49Best value

Meet your certified guide at Steps Beach in Rincón for a roughly two-hour, shore-based snorkeling tour in the Tres Palmas Marine Natural Reserve. Equipment is included, groups are limited to 10, and guides such as Hayden, Chandler, Dave, Roxane, Shane, and Christian have worked with beginners, children, and confident swimmers.

“Great Escape PR canceled our snorkeling trip due to weather which was understandable. As it was the my only opportunity to take my kids snorkeling I requested a refund since the trip did not take place. Great Escape denied my refund and kept my money. Very upsetting as I'm a working class individual and having to forfeit $150 for a trip that did not take place was very upsetting. I called the company and emailed several times, they were unresponsive. I would never recommend their services to anyone. Please use a different service provider.”
