Overview

Take the helm of your own mini boat and follow your guides across Fajardo’s turquoise waters. Snorkel coral reefs in La Cordillera Nature Reserve, then cruise to Icacos Island to swim, unwind on white sand, and enjoy snacks and refreshments from your cooler.

This guided adventure combines the thrill of driving with time to explore above and below the water. A hands-on driving lesson and snorkeling introduction help beginners feel comfortable; no boating license is needed. Allow four hours including check-in, with approximately 3.5 hours on tour.

Choose a two- or three-passenger boat option. The price is per boat and covers the guests included in your selected option. Each party drives its own mini boat on a guided group adventure, with your guides leading the way.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Self-Drive Mini Boat Snorkeling Tour to Icacos Island?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
