We will snorkel in San Juan then move to La Parguera for three days on a boat to the outer reefs
and mangrove islands. On our first trip, the first shell found was our captain's Cymatium raderi,
the first one
she had ever seen. A beautiful Strombus gigas was also found on that first snorkel, and a
huge red Tulip shell. We will pay a visit to the southwest coast of the island before returning
to San Juan. Our last day will be spent either looking for land snails in a forested area or
snorkeling another area in San Juan.
If you want to come along, meet me in San Juan and we'll try our best to find some good shells. This trip is limited to four people! |

Puerto Rico is in the U.S.A. - no need for a passport or to go through customs!
In San Juan we'll stay near the airport so it'll be easy for me to pick you up when you arrive
(you make your own air reservations, since so many flights go to San Juan.) San Juan is a
modern, bustling city with everything you need there - no need to bring paper supplies or snacks
if you don't want to bother with them.
The trip across the island from San Juan goes through lovely country and the forests are particularly beautiful. The town of La Parguera is a tourist resort town, with several dining options. We'll stay at private homes that have comfortable and convenient rooms for tourists.
We will be snorkelling only, and you must be able to get in and out of a small boat.
Ready to go? Fill out the reservation form and send a deposit. I will send a list of items to bring six weeks before the trip.
