Self-Drive Mini Boat Snorkeling Tour to Icacos Island
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.
The price covers one mini boat for up to two guests. This is a guided group experience, with each party driving its own boat.
