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).

Best $$ I spent - Best $$ I spent on our trip to PR. Captain Carlos and his crew (Christian, Celix and 2 others whose names I forgot but they were cute) were so friendly and helpful. One crew member even jumped into the water to check for jellyfish for me (I’m terrified of them). It was the best time and I’d definitely recommend it to everyone.

Unforgettable Boat Tour with Sun, Snorkeling, and Delicious Lunch! - Absolutely fantastic experience! Our boat tour was an unforgettable adventure, starting with crystal blue waters that were perfect for snorkeling and swimming. It did rain for about 15 minutes at the beginning of our trip, but it cleared up beautifully by the time we reached the beach and reefs. From then on, the sun was out, and it was gorgeous the entire day. The underwater scenery was breathtaking, with plenty of colorful fish to see. The captain and the team were simply amazing—attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The lunch on board was delicious, with a deli-style buffet that had something for everyone, complemented by a selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Everything was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the ocean in a fun and relaxed setting!
