Description

Enjoy a Private Icacos Reef Snorkeling Trip!

Make the most of your time in Puerto Rico with a private snorkeling adventure designed for your group. Explore coral reefs alive with tropical fish, sea fans, and sponges, all while enjoying the privacy and flexibility of a chartered boat just for your party. This tour puts the focus on underwater exploration, giving everyone a chance to dive in and experience the rich marine life at their own pace.

Your private boat accommodates a large group while keeping the experience intimate and comfortable. Enjoy two guided snorkeling stops where you can drift above colorful reefs, spot sea turtles, and watch schools of reef fish move through the shallow waters. Between dives, relax on deck with snacks and refreshing drinks, or float on the water mat and take in the surrounding turquoise waters.

After snorkeling, step ashore on the soft sands of Icacos or Palomino, wade in the shallows, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with your group. This private charter ensures that the focus is on your adventure, giving your party the freedom to explore, snorkel, and enjoy Puerto Rico’s east coast reefs without distractions.

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 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.

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.
