This 3.5-hour tour in Fajardo allows participants to drive their own 13-foot mini boat powered by a 40hp Yamaha motor. No boating license or prior experience is needed, as the tour begins with a beginner-friendly training and safety briefing covering boating basics, snorkeling, and ocean safety. After training, participants follow a certified guide in a convoy starting from Marina Puerto Chico. The route heads north along the bluffs of Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve, where views include mountains, mangroves, El Yunque Rainforest, and Fajardo’s 130-year-old Spanish lighthouse. After about 30 minutes of driving across turquoise water, the group arrives at Icacos Island, an uninhabited cay within the La Cordillera Cays Nature Reserve. At Icacos, guests receive instruction on snorkeling gear and free diving techniques before snorkeling with professional eco guides among coral reefs and tropical fish. After snorkeling, participants can relax on the white-sand beach and enjoy snacks and refreshments from a personal cooler kept on board their mini boat. The tour may also include a stop at Palominitos Island before returning to Marina Puerto Chico. Upon return, guests have access to outdoor showers and private restroom facilities. The tour includes premium snorkel gear, USCG-approved life jackets, and a personal cooler with ice, snacks, and refreshments. Each boat accommodates up to two guests, with the guide leading the route throughout. Gratuities are not included.
