In Puerto Rico, Palomino Island is part of the Fajardo area and is visited via boat tours. Prices vary, but all-day tours usually start at around US$200. These often include round-trip transportation from San Juan and snorkeling or beach access. Private charters typically start at around US$1,000.

From Fajardo, you can hop aboard a boat tour to Palomino Island—most leave from Fajardo or Seven Seas marina. The drive from San Juan to Fajardo takes about 1-1.5 hours. If you don’t have a car, take a shuttle, taxi, ferry, water taxi, or tour with round-trip transportation.

On Palomino Island, you can go snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and horseback riding. You can rent a kayak or paddleboard, as well as snorkeling gear, on the island. Many tours include a combination of these activities and provide gear. You can also simply relax and sunbathe on the beach.

The summer months (June–August) attract lots of visitors, so expect the biggest crowds then, along with the best weather. The December holidays and spring break also bring many visitors. Come in the shoulder seasons (May and November) for a less crowded experience compared to the peak tourist season.

Remember to bring sunscreen, swimwear, a towel, a hat, and any personal items you might need for a day on Palomino Island. Most tours provide snorkeling equipment. Pack snacks if food is not included with your tour, as the island offers limited options for purchasing food and drink.
