What To Expect
East Island Excursions
In the morning, head over to the marina in Puerto del Rey and board your sleek catamaran. Or, if you’ve opted for hotel transport, check the 'additional info' link below for your hotel pick-up time. As you sail, admire the mountains of El Yunque National Forest and Fajardo’s coastline of beaches, an upscale yacht harbor and a nature preserve. Sip a piña colada, rum punch, soda, juice or iced tea from the bar on board.
Cayo Icacos
After an hour on the Caribbean Sea, anchor at Cayo Icacos, part of La Cordillera Keys Nature Reserve. (Depending on conditions, the captain may take you to Palominitos, another pristine island.) Slip on snorkel gear to explore the reef, swim, or beachcomb in this quiet paradise. Snorkel masks, fins, and floating belts are available on board. Around midday, enjoy a lunch buffet on the boat. Build your own sandwich with freshly baked bread, sliced meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Sides include gourmet pasta salad, chicken salad, coleslaw, bean salad, chips, cookies, and fresh fruit. After lunch, head to a nearby reef for more snorkeling. Spot rays, octopuses, colorful fish, and various corals. If you prefer to stay dry, watch the underwater landscapes through glass windows or try the boat’s water slide. Then take a relaxing sail back and arrive midafternoon at the Puerto del Rey marina, where your hotel transport awaits (if option selected).

The crew is very engaging...

4.00The crew is very engaging and helpful. Boat was clean and food was very good. The piña coladas were amazing. I really liked how close the boat docked to the beach which was my concern as I’m not a good swimmer and the water only went up to above my waist. I felt safe and relaxed. The crew would go around and asked if we needed anything. The whole day was fabulous. The only thing I didnt enjoy much was the fact that I wasnt able to snorkel very well I guess my equipment wasn't working well for me and I didnt see coral reefs just fish. But it was still a nice experience. I do recommend this tour.
LOVED THE CREW AND EXPERIENCE!!!

5.00Entire crew was amazing. The captain was so communicative, funny, and kind. Would definitely recommend to anyone! The fee was worth the experience and the beautiful views as well as the foods and drinks included in the experience. Our visit lasted about 6 hours where we could enjoy the entire day on the island with friends and family! Boat was also very clean! Overall experience was amazing we got to feed fish, snorkel, listen to music, try all the drinks provided and enjoy our time on Icacos Island where the clear blue water was. I hope to go again in the future with the same crew. They felt like family and made our experience so worth it. They deserve a raise!!
Highly recommend this excursion! Just the right number of people, beautiful spot and great service!
