Top-Rated Charters & Snorkeling in Fajardo, PR!

I did the tour to icacos island and palomino with the captain Jay, pablito and I forgot the tall guy name but three of them were great! We had a blast on our tour. Drinks were amazing. The crew was making sure we were safe and the most important part make sure we had fun and we enjoy the tour. Thanks for everything !! I will be back.

The spot chosen for snorkeling was just amazing. Flamenco beach is definitely a must. But what made a difference is the awesome Sail Getaways crew. All of them were super attentive and nice with us. They went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. Not once I had to order for a refill of my drink. 11 out of 10, 100% recommended, I'll definitely repeat.

Was all of our first time and it was so beautiful and fun. We got to see a barracuda, big jellyfish and a bunch of other little fish. We enjoyed the guys explaining everything, Oscar was fun and kept us entertained since the music wasn't working haha. Loved that lunch and alcohol was included, was so worth the money!

We went with a friend to visit Culebra Island and everything was very nice, the trip was very pleasant, the guides were very attentive, VERY good music and food, I recommend them, 10/10!!

Wonderful experience. Clear turquoise water, white sandy beaches, lush green islands, and a remarkable crew. It was a perfect day of swimming, snorkeling, and positive vibes all around. Highly recommend these guys.

My friend and I took the tour to Tamarindo and Flamenco beach and it was amazing. The weather was perfect which made the ride super smooth. We were a fortunate group to enjoy a beautiful day. It was our first time experience and we loved it. We are beginner swimmers (to say the least) and the gentlemen were kind enough to get in the water with us so we wouldn’t miss the opportunity. Everyone on the boat was super friendly and made us feel like family! It’s definitely a must do activity when visiting the island. Looking forward to many more!!!

It was soo much fun. We took off on time went snorkeling not many fishes but still a great experience then we went to the flamingo island and got 2 hours to ourself to enjoy l. Crew was super friendly and kept the drinks coming. Would totally recommend

Great quick getaway for our group of 13. Quick boat ride to snorkel, excellent fish viewing and lunch. Then a quick boat ride to Flamenco Beach to wander around. The staff was friendly, knowledgable, and patient.

We took the three-in-one catamaran getaway on New Year's Day with Omar and Arturo. Our group was 2 adults a 9 year old and a 5 year old. All of us had an amazing time. Omar and Arturo were awesome sailors/hosts/guides making sure they got us to Icacos safely for snorkeling, answered all our questions, taught us about Puerto Rico and even served us delicious drinks and snacks. A really beautiful afternoon/evening with super friendly guides, Omar and Arturo.

Great experience! Crew was friendly and helpful. Communicated what we needed to know and expect very well, and consistently. Very professional but laid back enough to help everyone enjoy the experience. Overall experience was great.

Great boat tour and snorkeling. We went to the island of Culebra on the tour. Great staff and nice drinks! Definitely recommend the fast boat.Thanks to the skipper and the crew. You were great!

Captain & crew helpful and fun, brought us to some wonderful snorkeling spaces. Maybe 25 or so people total on boat, so a good size group but not overcrowded. Lots of fun!

Highly recommend this tour, wonderful service, food and attention. You must go to Flamenco beach and snorkel in Culebra they made our trip to Puerto Rico worth every penny.

My mom and I went on this trip and we loved it! Snorkel areas were amazing as well as playa flamenco. The crew is super cool, kind, responsible and friendly!

The crew was amazing and friendly. Couldn't ask for a better time out in Culebra. After a boat ride to the island we spent a couple hours snorkeling. Next up was a provided lunch on the boat and rum cocktails. Following that we went to Flamenco beach for a couple hours.

Islands That We Visit:

Destination will be determined by our captain on the day of the experience. The destination is determined based on the weather and water conditions of the day. 

Isla de Palominos

Located some 3.5 nautical miles east of Fajardo, it has a size of approximately 104 acres. It is one of a few private islands that exist throughout Puerto Rico. Part of the island is on lease to El Conquistador Hotel to be used as the hotel’s beach. About a quarter-mile south of Palominos island lies Cayo Palominitos, which is a one-acre sandy key with tropical vegetation perfect for swimming or snorkeling.

Isla de Lobos

Located some 1.5 nautical miles east of Cayo Icacos, it has a size of approximately five acres. It is also one of a few private islands throughout Puerto Rico. In the early ’60s, the island hosted a very exclusive hotel, which ran into financial difficulties and was abandoned for a great part of the ’70s and ’80s until it was bought by a local family and converted into a paradise vacation home. Surrounded by small keys and coral reefs, it is great for snorkeling.

Cayo Icacos

Located some four nautical miles northeast of Fajardo, it has a size of approximately 163 acres. It is part of a chain of small islands, keys, and coral reefs known as La Reserva Natural de la Cordillera. The island hosts a fairly large amount of marine life, coral reefs, birds, and land iguanas. It is the perfect setting for snorkeling, swimming, diving, and beachcombing. It gets its name from the large number of Icacos bushes on the island. The Icacos is a small sour fruit, which grows to about the size of a key lime. When ready to be picked, they are pale yellow in color and come off the bush quite easily. The best way to eat them is cooked in heavy syrup.

El Innovation: The Pioneer of Nautical Tourism

Now, this pioneering vessel is in Puerto Rican hands, with our team of local guides committed to maintaining its legacy.

El Kraken: Our Newest Vessel

Built in 2022, El Kraken is the newest vessel for our Puerto Rico snorkeling tours.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

The staff was very friendly. The experience was enjoyable for the whole family. They worked with the children on board to help teach them about sailing and snorkeling.

We have done many snorkeling tour in various places, this tour tops our list. Most “sailing” tours only go to the snorkeling site with the engine running. This tour sailed to and from the beach. We snorkeled at two places and had a two-hour stay on a great beach. Lunch was great and we had plenty to enjoy. I highly recommend Fun Cat Catamaran if you are in Puerto Rico.

We have had a great trip to Puerto Rico and by far, the best thing we’ve done is spent a day on the Fun Cat Catamaran with Capt. Jim and his crew. They were all outstanding!!! The ship was beautiful. The equipment was top notch. The lunch buffet, snacks, and drinks were all delicious. The Pina Coladas were awesome!!! And all of the places we stopped were amazing. Do this tour – you will not be sorry!!!

Fajardo Snorkeling Excursions

Locals’ favorite beaches & islands.

Located on the east coast of the island, Fajardo is right between San Juan and El Yunque Rainforest, so it’s a great place to stay if you’re planning to do many activities around the island on your Puerto Rico vacation. Beyond its convenient location, Fajardo offers many small keys right off the coast with incredible snorkeling. One of the most popular ways to explore is by booking a catamaran snorkeling tour or chartering a boat and visiting several keys in one day. If you’d rather stay on the mainland, there’s great snorkeling to be had at Fajardo’s beaches as well.

Fajardo Snorkeling Beaches & Keys

Set sail to various reefs and islands where you’ll spot tropical fish, sea turtles, and other marine creatures. With so many places to explore, you could spend your whole vacation beach and island-hopping. Most of the choice snorkeling spots are part of La Cordillera Nature Reserve, a chain of about 10 islands that can be reached easily by boat.

Icacos Island

Located just off the coast of Fajardo, Icacos is an uninhabited island with sparkling sand, vibrant, clear waters, and an abundance of marine life, making it the perfect place to go snorkeling or scuba diving. Since it can only be reached by boat, it’s a favorite destination for catamaran snorkeling tours from Fajardo. Enjoy refreshments and gorgeous island views on the sailing trip to the island; then gear up to dive in and explore the impressive coral reef formations. Beyond snorkeling, the beaches of Icacos Island are a wonderful place to spot iguanas and gulls and relax with a drink in hand.

Palomino Island

This is one of the largest islands off the coast of Fajardo, with the eastern side accessible to guests of El Conquistador Resort. You can rent a mini speed boat equipped with snorkeling gear and a cooler with snacks and refreshments and head over to snorkel the reef that surrounds that portion of the island. Although the island can get windy, the beach is somewhat sheltered, making for calm snorkeling conditions. Other popular keys for snorkeling in Fajardo are Cayo Lobos, Cayo Ratones, and Cayo Diablo.

Fajardo Mainland Beaches

For snorkeling closer to your Fajardo hotel or rental, head to the public beach, Playa Seven Seas. This sheltered strip of shoreline can get crowded on the weekends, but it’s a great place to snorkel if you don’t want to take a full-day tour to one of the islands off the coast. El Convento Beach to the west is a nesting ground for sea turtles and home to many breathtaking reefs to explore.

Start planning your Fajardo snorkeling excursion today! Don’t forget to reserve your tours ahead of time, especially if you’re visiting during Puerto Rico’s busy season.

They provide a fantastic bar and lunch service on the boat. They are also a wonderful, kind and enthusiastic people. Every time I bring a group of students to Puerto Rico, I book a trip with the Innovation crew. They are simply the best!"

"Our trip to Icacos Island was absolutely phenomenal thanks to Hecmar, Cristian and Captain Dante. They made sure we were taken care in every way. The snorkeling was alot of fun and the water at Icacos is crystal clear with a white sandy beach. Hands down the best part of our trip to Puerto Rico!!"

"This was a great fun experience. The staff and tour guides were very professional, insightful, accommodating. Hecmar was the best!!!! Loved her and all the full knowledge she gave about the different sea life, reefs, and the hike. I had a blast, and the group that I took loved it. Definitely would recommend it!!"

"Me and my family had the wonderful experience of snorkeling with Innovations Tours on 7/23/19. Our tour guides Christian and Sandra could've been more excellent. They were both fun, engaging, patient and informative. My two children ages 6 and 10, who have never experienced snorkeling had the best time ever. The island Icacos was absolutely beautiful. The food and drinks provided were perfect. It was worth the cost. I highly recommend them."

Interested in a private charter?

See what our guests are saying about this tour, the crew was super friendly and professional..

Everything was well organized. The crew was super friendly and professional. Even lunch break, which is usually “plain” was very good. The snorkeling was a fun experience but the highlight of this excursion was definitely the flamenco beach! It’s a trip I recommend.

Will definitely use East Island Excursions again

Very well organized and punctual, staff were professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely recommend East Island Excursions for Culebra trip.

Food and drinks were excellent lots of it plus snorkeling equipment was in excellent condition. Culebra trip was fun and will definitely use East Island Excursions again.

Full Day Snorkeling & Beach Trip to Culebra

This was a FANTASTIC excursion & my family & I (3 adults) would do this again in a heartbeat. The boat is clean, beautiful & well maintained. The crew is so nice & professional, & they take passenger safety & satisfaction seriously while ensuring FUN! Our trip had a diverse mix of ages, which was nice.

The boat ride from the m arina to the snorkeling spot in Culebra took about 1 hour 15 min. to get to & we left promptly at 9am. We snorkeled for about an hour with the lunch buffet put out during that time. An hour was plenty IMO & we did not feel rushed or unable to enjoy our lunch, which was a nice spread. There were even options for my vegetarian husband to enjoy. The beverages did not disappoint. The snorkeling was so beautiful & everything is provided.

Our captain was unable to take us to Flamenco Beach safely due to conditions, so instead we were taken to Culebrita island to spend about 2 hrs +/- for beach time. It was GORGEOUS! We swam, relaxed, & had the best time & it appeared that everyone else did as well. The return trip back to the marina took about the same time as going out.

Highest ratings for Capt. Javi & his crew – Dani, Angel, Adrian, & Diego (sorry if I missed anyone). I was truly impressed with the level of service they provided to everyone on board. I was initially hesitant to book this trip out of concern for it being too crowded or too much of a younger, party-hard crowd, but that was not at all the case. East Island Excursions does a top-notch job & I highly recommend them based on my experience.

This experience is one to remember

I was extremely pleased with the customer service on this excursion. Anyone can take the ferry in Puerto Rico and have access to culebra beaches, but this experience is one to remember and not one to miss. I came with my family (6 people) and at first we were hesitant about the price compared to just taking the ferry but it was worth every $. I vacation often and take many excursions and not often do I feel like you get the true value of what you pay for, but with this company you do.

We did the half day tour to culebra (flamenco beach) and snorkeling. Everything you need is provided for you expect sunscreen and a towel. I will definitely be back.
