It is so beautiful on these islands and the swimming is great. See it all! Visit some amazing reefs by motorboat. Elena is your guide for the day. She can teach beginners to snorkel and our first stop is in shallow water where we stay until you are comfortable with your equiment. The captain has over 20 years experience in these local waters.

The great thing about this boat is we can manuever into shallow waters with superb reefs.
Catamarands & diesal boats can't get in here! Our captain is also the most experienced.
He holds a masters license, and has driven bigger boats for over 30 years.

If the ocean is particularly calm and you are experienced snorkelers then you could add the trip to Cayo de Las Aves ( Bird Key) . $125 extra ( up to 4 people with guide) .. Well worth it! . . as the reefs are more extensive and pristine - none of the catamarans can get here. This is a booby bird nesting site, they nest on the far side of the little island on the rocks.

You don't know what 'color therapy' really is until you have swum in all these varied hues of blue!

Icacos Island is big enough so that you cannot walk around it easily. The ocean side is rough and rocky with waves breaking over the rocks and the leeward side is very calm and lovely. Beach exploring is great for anyone who doesn't want to spend much time in the water.

Below is another little island in the Cordillera Reserve that we visit, Palominitos Key

All trips advance reservations ONLY please. We meet in Fajardo, if you need a taxi from San Juan to Fajardo we can arrange this for you. For Reservations and Information contact Elena:
