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.

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour company! The crew went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and safe the entire trip. Thanks to their patience and encouragement, we were able to try snorkeling for the very first time ever — even if only for a few moments because I was nervous! They were incredibly attentive throughout the whole excursion, constantly checking on us and making sure everyone was having a great time. A huge thank you to Neff, Luis, and Jeylin — you all were amazing and truly made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Rico!
My daughter’s and I decided to do a girls trip to celebrate birthdays and miss you absolutely the highlight on our visit

4.00The staff was 5 stars, super professional. Good food, beverages and fruits were available during all tour. The boat was amazing, with a lot of space. Ycacos is a beautiful island and the place of snorkeling was also nice. Regarding the duration of the trip, in my opinion, the tour is a little expensive, but if I need it to do it again I’l choose the same company because everything was perfect.
Amazing time!

5.00As an LCSW who values human connection and cultural integrity, I’ve been deeply moved by the warmth of Puerto Rico, and this excursion was no exception. The catamaran sail to Icacos was a highlight of my trip. What truly stood out wasn't just the breathtaking turquoise water, but the integrity of the crew. They were incredibly attentive to every guest’s needs, but I was most impressed by their commitment to the environment. They were diligent about recycling and ensuring not a single piece of trash entered our beautiful ocean. It’s rare to see a tour operator so dedicated to preserving the natural beauty they share with others. A must-do if you want a professional, eco-conscious, and heartwarming experience
Beautiful beach and great time snorkeling with our family

5.00Highly recommend this day trip to Icacos + snorkeling - a day my family will always remember. The crew was so attentive, the drinks and lunch were great, and we were the first boat to the island so we had the whole beach to ourselves for a little bit before any other boats arrived. A dolphin came right up to our boat and swam right with us as we were anchored on the beach - it was amazing swimming with a dolphin in the wild. The snorkeling was so fun and my kids loved being able to jump off the boat and go down the water slide. Such a great value for an incredible day. Captain Jose and the crew made it a day we will never forget. Worth every penny!
Paradise for a day
