Highlights
  • 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).

#SoOfficialTravel - Had such a blast with Paola, Danny, and Carlos. They really made it my best experience on the island. I brought my company to Puerto Rico to shoot videos and do photo shoots. We was able to get video content and the Caption even made sure we was good and didn't need anything to help the video. It was my first time ever going snorkeling and I'm already ready to go back and do it again. I will be going on this excursion every time I come to PR and I hope I get the same crew again. #SoOfficial Travel really appreciate everything and we've already started posting video content and photos on instagram @SoOfficialTakeOverTour

Absolutely beautiful family time on the island of Icacos. - We were blown away by the beauty of this trip. When you look at pictures on line you always wonder if it’s truly like that or just really good photography. This place was everything we hoped it would be. The crew of our catamaran were friendly, fun, and helpful. We had kids ranging from 9-18 and they all had a blast. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico. The boat ride to and from the island was the perfect amount of time, the swimming and snorkeling were enjoyed by all, new swimmers and experienced swimmers alike. Just an absolute beautiful time together for our family.

Beautiful, fun all day trip to icacos island - Our excursion was September 3rd. The water was choppy but this experienced captain Wilo, crew chief Neff, Condado and the rest of the crew got us there and back safely and we always felt safe. They were very attentive and gracious. The water was beautiful and they let everyone practice with rbw snorkeling gear on the beach before going on the reef. When my friend floated away on the current, Neff very calmly swam to her and for her back which helped her not panic. They were awesome.

Breath taking water - I had such an amazing time at Icacos Island! Booking my reservation and checking in was a breeze, especially since we signed the release form ahead of time—made everything so smooth. The crew was fantastic! Christian, Celix, Captain Carlos, and the rest of the team were incredibly attentive and made sure we had the best experience possible. I highly recommend it—it’s a definite 10/10!
