Description
Icacos 3-in-1 Snorkel, Beach & Sunset Adventure
Make the most of your time in Puerto Rico with a tour designed for snorkeling lovers. Spend the day exploring colorful coral reefs filled with schools of tropical fish, sea fans, and sponges before surfacing to relax on one of the island’s most beautiful beaches. This experience combines the excitement of underwater exploration with the laid-back charm of Icacos Cay.
Step aboard our custom boat, built for comfort and limited to just 25 guests for a more personal outing. Your guided snorkeling stops take you into crystal-clear waters where you might see angelfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, and even sea turtles gliding by. After your time on the reef, refuel with a fresh deli-style buffet and enjoy tropical drinks from the open rum bar.
Back on shore at Icacos, stretch out on soft white sand, wade in turquoise shallows, or float under the Caribbean sun. As the trip winds down, enjoy a golden sunset over El Yunque Rainforest, Cabo San Juan Lighthouse, and the Spanish Virgin Islands—a perfect ending to a day spent discovering Puerto Rico’s underwater world.

Wildlife Guidelines
Please be respectful of the fact that coral is a living organism and any standing, touching, or knocking over will irreparably damage the organism that takes a very long time to grow and is essential to our marine reefs. Please also be respectful of any marine animals including but not limited to turtles, rays, sharks, seals, and dolphins. Please never chase, harass, feed, or TOUCH any of the marine species. Enjoy their company if they approach from a distance and calmly move away from them if in their path.

FAQs
Can I bring my own snorkel gear?
Absolutely! Each set of our snorkel gear is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after use, but we encourage guests to bring their personal snorkel gear when possible.
What if I get seasick?
We advise that you consider taking an over-the-counter seasickness medicine at least 1 hour before the trip.
What happens if the minimum number of participants isn't met?
A minimum number of passengers is required for the tour to operate. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if we don't reach this number. Guests will be notified as soon as possible and offered the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
What happens if the weather or sea conditions are unfavorable?
The captain may adjust the destination to safer, protected locations, such as Playa Tortuga, Icacos, or Palomino. These alternative sites offer stunning snorkeling and beach experiences. If we cancel due to weather or sea conditions, you will not be charged and will have the option to reschedule.
Who can snorkel?
Anyone who is confident in the water, has basic swimming skills, knows how to float and does not fear the water can snorkel. We provide floating belts that provide assistance if you are not a great swimmer. Our crew can provide the basic instructions of snorkeling if you are a first-timer. Our vessels are equipped with a custom swim ladder (catamaran) on the front of the vessel or a swim platform (motor vessel) for easy access in and out of the water. Our first beach stop usually is great for practicing snorkeling because the water is at standing depth and you can explore a small section of the reef without leaving the comfort of standing depth. If you don’t feel confident venturing away from the boat, there will be a line provided at the stairs or swim platform to hold on and view the natural aquarium without leaving the safety of the boat, or you can stay aboard with the captain where you can see the fish without having to get wet.
What are some Snorkel Safety 101 tips?
TripOutside recommends knowing how to swim before snorkeling, but participation is ultimately up to you and the tour operator's discretion.
- Check ocean conditions and only snorkel at lifeguarded beaches. The chance of rescue is much higher with trained lifeguards present.
- Never snorkel alone. Always bring a buddy. Beginners should consider booking a guided tour.
- Rest after flying. Flying can dehydrate and exhaust you—give your body at least a day to acclimate before snorkeling.
- Test your gear on land or in a pool first. Make sure your mask fits snugly, you can breathe through the snorkel, and you know how to clear water if needed.
- Practice with fins. You should be able to scissor kick while swimming. Avoid doggie paddling—it won’t get you far.
- Don’t wear fins on land. Walk into the water, get past the waves, then put your fins on. Remove them before exiting.
- Take it slow. Breathe calmly, relax, and avoid overexertion to keep your heart rate low.
- Know your limits. If you’re feeling tired, anxious, or unsure about conditions, skip the snorkel session. Panic in the water is dangerous.
- Stay aware of currents and tides. Even experienced swimmers can get pulled out. Know how to identify rip currents and how to escape them (swim parallel to shore).
What sunscreen can I use and why does it matter?
Common sunscreens contain chemicals that can harm coral reefs, as the particles are small enough to be absorbed by corals, causing toxicity and coral bleaching. Reef-friendly sunscreens are formulated without these harmful chemicals. Reef-SAFE sunscreens go a step further by using non-nano particles, which are too large for corals to ingest, helping to preserve marine ecosystems.
Please avoid sunscreens with oxybenzone, octinoxate, and parabens. Consider wearing sun-protective clothing, like long-sleeve rash guards, as an alternative to sunscreen. If you choose a mineral-based sunscreen, ensure it is labeled ‘non-nano.’
What marine life can I see while snorkeling at Icacos, Puerto Rico?
Icacos is one of the best snorkeling destinations on Puerto Rico’s east coast, thanks to its shallow reefs and consistently clear waters. While snorkeling, you’ll often see schools of blue tang, parrotfish, butterflyfish, and sergeant majors weaving through the coral. The reef also attracts bigger visitors like yellowtail snapper, barracuda, and the occasional stingray cruising along the sandy bottom. Sea turtles are sometimes spotted grazing in the seagrass beds, and if you slow down and look closely, you may notice smaller creatures like cleaner shrimp, sea urchins, and colorful wrasse darting among the coral branches. The mix of hard corals, soft corals, and sponges creates a diverse underwater world that’s exciting for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers.
Cancellation Policy
For individual reservations of 1-9 passengers:
Cancellations are allowed until 8:00 AM the 24 before the scheduled trip with no penalty.
For reservations of 10 or more passengers:
Cancellations must be made at least seven (7) days in advance.
We reserve the right to cancel a public sail if a minimum number of reservations are not received.
Customers will receive a full refund in case of operator cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
All marine activities are subject to water conditions. Please call a day prior for an update on cancellations or changes of destination due to water conditions as per the captain’s discretion. These decisions can be announced at check-in.
"NO SHOW" Policy:
If you don’t arrive on time, the ticket is NOT REFUNDABLE and NOT REUSABLE.
If we cancel a tour due to weather or sea conditions, you will not be charged. You will have the option to reschedule for the next available space. Our captains will make the final decision regarding weather conditions. Please note that a few passing rain showers are normal in the tropics, and rain is more likely in the center of the island and to the west. We constantly monitor weather reports, especially the conditions on the east coast. Fajardo’s weather can differ greatly from the weather in San Juan or wherever you are located. Please don’t make the mistake of deciding not to come if it’s raining where you are, as you will be charged if the trip goes out. If you have any questions about the weather conditions, please call us to be sure.
Passengers who are inebriated, hungover, or who are not in a condition to board the boat will be denied boarding by the captain.
Passengers that don’t meet the proper requirements will not be allowed to participate and the money will be non-refundable.
Due to the unique nature and small size of our groups, we are forced to remain firm about our cancellation policy. On the day of the excursion, we will be there, on-site, waiting and ready to serve you. Regardless of the cancellation reason, our time and fixed costs are already invested, and we may have turned down other customers by holding your space.
Thank you for your understanding.
