Enjoy the snorkeling adventure of a lifetime as you pilot your own 13-foot (4-meter) inflatable mini-boat. Make your way along with the uninhabited cays and stunning beaches of Fajardo on Puerto Rico's eastern coast. The journey starts as you meet at Puerto Chico Marina: Get some pre-ride instructions, and safety orientation from the crew before boarding your fully-equipped mini-boat.
Benefit from the assistance and expertise of a certified and qualified guide that will be leading you over the crystal clear waters towards small, uninhabited islands with incredible white sand beaches. Head north by northeast along the bluffs of Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve, and the world-renowned virgin beach Icacos Cay. Get breathtaking views of the mountains of the El Yunque rainforest, the mangrove-lined coast and Fajardo's 130-year-old Spanish lighthouse. Icacos Cay is one of the string of cays that form La Cordillera Nature Reserve (Cayos de la Cordillera Nature Reserve).
Grab your snorkeling gear, listen to some directions and practice freediving techniques in preparation for the most fascinating snorkeling experiences available in Puerto Rico. Discover spectacular coral reef formations, swim among schools of tropical fish, and learn about the wonders of the underwater world while diving with your professional eco guide.
After a good swim, it’s about time to have some snacks and refreshments (found in the coolers provided on each mini-boat). Our quick meal will be framed by coral reefs that feature incredible turquoise waters, pure white sand beaches and a lovely back view of the mainland.
Listen to first hand and by your local guides all about the natural history of the reserve and some interesting facts about the surroundings. Recharge your battery as you go through another fun-packed snorkeling session. Re-board your mini-boat for the back journey to Marina Puerto Chico. Beware that the order of the described sites may vary, depending on-point weather conditions. Your guide knows best and will take you where the snorkeling is best at the time.
