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).

More swim than snorkel

3.00The crew and lunch were great. The snorkeling was fine for a novice, but the area is limited for marine life. The description said we would snorkel 2 areas, but instead we snorkeled one hour at the island, then docked there for the next 4 hours to swim. I was hoping for more snorkeling. No explanation was given for why we weren't traveling to a second spot.
Great afternoon for family!

5.00My family and I had an amazing time with Captain Jose, Zoe, Luis and Nair! Service was above and beyond. Even though it ended up being a little rainy, the crew made the best of the day and kept everybody happy and cheerful. Kids (ages 13, 10 and 4) had a great time snorkeling and playing in the ocean, on the beach and on the massive floaty. Would definitely do this experience again. I would bring more towels next time because they get wet quickly.

5.00Captain Jose was a pleasure to meet, as well as guide us during our tour to Icacos. He was knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and safe. His team was also a delight; courteous, funny, helpful and made the trip a fun experience-even with some rain and clouds.
just book it!!! the best day on the ocean 🏝️🌺🛥️

5.00best day ever! the crew was amazing. Jose was our captain, and he never failed to make us laugh and check on us throughout the day. the crew, specifically Amanda, went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and that our hands always had a drink in them. they even brought drinks out into the water so we didn’t have to come back up! lunch was a yummy buffet of sandwiches, fruits and chips, and the drinks were light and yummy. activities were so fun and they showed us the best spots. would recommend this excursion to anyone! so worth the price for a full 5 hours. also recommend purchasing the transportation to and from the marina. they pick you up from your hotel/airbnb and you are with the group/know exactly where to go. much cheaper than ubers!!! overall would do this all over again if we could and we will be back!!!
Amazing 1/2 day tour to Icacos

5.00We did the afternoon, half day trip on the catamaran to Icacos. The crew was the best. Xiomara, David, John, and Danny made the trip great and went out of their way to go the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of. They offered us drinks, picked up after we were done with lunch, and made sure our kids were safe and taken care of. Icacos was amazing and peaceful. We saw fish, marine wildlife, and the weather was great. They throw a huge float off the back of the boat and let you jump off the side into the water. The kids had a blast. I was thoroughly impressed with their kindness and willingness to help with anything and everything. If we make it back to PR, we will definitely look them up for our next excursion. Thanks
Great experience with Jaylen, Cano and Capt Chris!
