Itinerary
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.
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).

Very Organized, wonderful vessel and very friendly staff.
Amazing experience 10 out of 10! Had a great time on the boat and in the water. Crew and food was outstanding. What an awesome day!
Ismael, Dennis, Carel were amazing! We did a private catamaran for the day and would highly recommend! Drinks and food were great. We got to see Miguel the dolphin, enjoyed the paddle board and sunpad. Great tour company highly professional organized.
We had the best time! They took great care of us! Snacks, water, unlimited alcoholic drinks, yummy lunch. Snorkeling gear! Plus snorkeling lesson if needed. I can’t recommend this excursion enough!!! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable as well
Our Icacos trip with East Island Excursions was truly an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. The entire day felt like a treat! The crew was AMAZING. Jaylen explained everything in detail, made us feel completely comfortable, and was so funny, positive, and full of great energy. Naher was incredibly polite and attentive. At one point, while we were relaxing on the beach, he actually brought drinks over from the boat for us without anyone even asking. That little gesture was the cherry on top and really showed how much this crew cares about their guests. Everything was so well organized. They provided all the snorkeling equipment, the buffet food was delicious, there was fresh fruit, and unlimited drinks throughout the trip. We were taken care of every step of the way. Snorkeling was incredible — we saw beautiful coral and so many amazing fish. And Icacos itself? Paradise on Earth. The water, the beach, the scenery… absolutely breathtaking. I can genuinely say this was one of the best and most memorable days of my life. I think everyone should get to experience a day like this at least once in their lifetime. Thank you to East Island Excursions, Jaylen, Naher, and the entire crew for giving us such a beautiful experience. We will remember this day forever. ❤️🌴🌊 10/10 — absolutely recommend!
We had such a great experience going to Icacos and snorkeling with East Island Excursions. Our crew was so friendly and knowledgeable. Arturo the captain and Paola and Gerardo. The music was awesome, the sail was beautiful and the food terrific. Highly recommend.
We had a great experience during this excursion! The food was amazing, along with the crew- they were very professional and kind. We had a very safe and fun time.
I went with my boyfriend wanting to have a stress free experience and it was exactly that!! The crew was awesome and really took care of us and we had so much fun. Unfortunately it was rainy and cloudy when we went but overall it was still enjoyable and I really enjoyed the food and drinks
This was the best idea for our second day in Puerto Rico. Great service, very clean catamaran, yummy food, the drinks kept flowing, and two beautiful stops (one to swim and hang on beach, and another to snorkel). Highly recommend for couples, or groups.
Excellent service, great food and drinks. My only feedback would be better music without commercials. Jaylen was awsome and very attentive.
