Itinerary
1. The fun begins as we clear the breakwater of Marina Puerto Chico, heading North along the bluffs of "Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve”. Along the way, you'll enjoy views of mountains, mangroves, "El Yunque" Rainforest, and Fajardo's 130-year-old Spanish lighthouse.
2. Icacos Island – Snorkeling at it’s Best! After a brisk 30-minute cruise, we arrive to our first destination, the uninhabited Icacos Cay. Icacos is part of a group of cays that form “La Cordillera Cays Nature Reserve”. While in Icacos, get acquainted with your snorkeling gear and practice free diving techniques in preparation for some of the most fascinating snorkeling experiences in Puerto Rico! Discover spectacular coral reef formations, swim among schools of colorful tropical fish, and learn about the wonders of the underwater world, while snorkeling with our professional eco guides. After a swim, enjoy snacks and refreshments from your cooler on board your Mini Boat.
3. Concluding our time at Palominitos Island, we will board our Mini Boats once more for the journey back to Marina Puerto Chico. Once at the marina enjoy a fresh rinse and have access to the private restroom/shower facilities. Special Notes: • Price listed is per boat, not per person • Order of destinations and amount of stops may vary depending on weather and marine conditions – safety first!
