Icacos Morning Snorkeling & Beach Tour
Five easy hours on the water: a guided snorkel over the reefs of the Icacos Nature Reserve, then a long, lazy beach stop with a deli buffet lunch and piña coladas served on board.
The day
Morning glass, empty sand
Cayo Icacos is an uninhabited island inside a protected nature reserve, a short boat ride from Fajardo and untouched by roads, hotels or crowds. Mornings here are the calmest of the day. The light is high, the water is glass, and the reef is wide awake. Its reefs are ranked among the best snorkeling spots in Puerto Rico in our crew's own guide.
You will snorkel with a guide over coral heads busy with tropical fish, then anchor off the white sandbar for more than two hours of beach time. Swim, float on the mat, nap in the shade of the cabin. Lunch is a full deli buffet with rum punch and piña coladas, and the ride home is the kind of quiet that resets a whole vacation. The $130 price includes the buffet lunch and drinks — there is no extra cost on board.
