    While Puerto Rico isn't as famous for manatee encounters as Florida, snorkeling with manatees is still possible in certain areas, particularly in the warm coastal waters of the south and east. The manatee population in Puerto Rico is small but protected, and sightings are most common in shallow bays and mangrove channels, such as those in Jobos Bay Reserve or La Parguera. These gentle giants are most active in the morning, making early excursions the best time to spot them. Always remember to observe manatees from a distance, as they are a protected species, and avoid touching or chasing them. For a guaranteed manatee snorkeling experience, some travelers combine a trip to Puerto Rico with a visit to nearby locations like Crystal River, Florida. However, with patience and luck, you might just have a magical encounter with these sea cows in Puerto Rico's tranquil waters.
