Live out your fantasy of island escape and hop aboard a catamaran to Cayo Icacos, a deserted island surrounded by the bright blue Caribbean. On this day cruise from Fajardo, enjoy views of El Yunque mountains and then dig your toes into the beaches of Icacos, part of a nature preserve, and take a leisurely swim and snorkel nearby. A Deli-style lunch buffet and beverages are on board to round out this day in paradise.
Catamaran
In the morning, head over to the marina in Puerto del Rey and board your sleek catamaran. Or, if you’ve opted for hotel transport, check the 'additional info' link below for your hotel pick-up time. As you sail, admire the mountains of El Yunque National Forest and Fajardo’s coastline of beaches, an upscale yacht harbor and a nature preserve. Sip a piña colada, rum punch, soda, juice or iced tea from the bar on board.
After an hour on the Caribbean Sea, anchor at Cayo Icacos, part of La Cordillera Keys Nature Reserve. (Depending on conditions, the captain may take you to Palominitos, another pristine island.) Slip on snorkel gear to explore the reef, swim, or beachcomb in this quiet paradise. Snorkel masks, fins, and floating belts are available on board. Around midday, enjoy a lunch buffet on the boat. Build your own sandwich with freshly baked bread, sliced meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Sides include gourmet pasta salad, chicken salad, coleslaw, bean salad, chips, cookies, and fresh fruit. After lunch, head to a nearby reef for more snorkeling. Spot rays, octopuses, colorful fish, and various corals. If you prefer to stay dry, watch the underwater landscapes through glass windows or try the boat’s water slide. Then take a relaxing sail back and arrive midafternoon at the Puerto del Rey marina, where your hotel transport awaits (if option selected).
