There are a lot of opportunities in San Pedro for sailing and snorkeling. Also diving and fishing opportunities are easy to find. I decided on a full day snorkeling tour on a sailboat. This one was provided by Carribean Adventures. None of the tours seem to leave super early, which is good if you were up late drinking rum the night before!
They have a fantastic sailboat. It almost makes me want to buy one myself.
There are some spots to sit inside and also spots to relax on the deck and sunbathe. They offer unlimited rum (and I’m sure other companies do too). They have good snorkeling equipment and helpful guides. You are likely to see Manta rays, sea turtles, and sharks. Also plenty of fish.
They also put in a great lunch. Fresh fish as well as chicken and vegetarian options were on offer. Before lunch I managed to swim with a giant turtle which was really neat.
One of the places you go to is called Shark Ray Alley. This place was discovered when fisherman were cleaning their catch here. The waste attracted a lot of fish and sharks. This pretty much guarantees that you will see marine life. The down side is that they still feed them, so they have become very human defendant. I’m not sure I agree with this practice. While they are not being placed in physical captivity, they are very dependent on humans feeding them now which breaks their natural hunting cycle.
