We had an amazing time. The beaches are breathtaking. Definitely worth it! The lunch and drinks were included. I recommend getting picked up and dropped off. The bus is very comfortable and you don’t have to worry about driving. Just worry about getting up early.

Your catamaran arrives at Icacos Cay, part of a chain of small islands that comprise La Cordillera Keys Nature Reserve. If weather conditions require, your captain may navigate instead to the equally stunning island of Palominitos.

Then hop in the water for some aquatic activities, including snorkeling on the nearby reef, swimming, or beachcombing on the shore of this placid paradise.

When you start to get hungry around midday, head back to the boat and make your own sandwiches from the deli buffet. Don’t forget to enjoy a piña colada, rum punch, soda or juice from the bar.

After lunch, there's time for more snorkeling or sunbathing.

Your relaxing sailing day finishes with a return cruise back to the harbor.

Our trip with East Island was the highlight of our vacation in PR. Our group was all adults, but it was a trip that I think could cater to all. Cayo Icacos was beautiful and the snorkelling was awesome! Boat was clean and very nice to hang out on and sip on a few rum cocktails. Lunch was really good and perfect after spending all day in the sun, and again the inclusive rum cocktails were a 10/10. The crew Captain Jose, Nathan, Carlitos, Javier, and Dave were awesome, friendly, and gave impecable service. I will definitely go again next year

Amazing excursion! Don’t hesitate to book—Icacos is absolutely beautiful and worth it. The crews are so nice the ride was smooth Food and drink 10/10 I went for my birthday I have the best time ever

What an amazing boat day!...

Pricilla_M, Jun 2026
What an amazing boat day! You definitely do not need to know how to swim they provide life vests, including the kind that straps around your waist, which made everyone feel safe and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious, the crew was friendly and helpful, and the entire experience was so much fun from start to finish. We had a wonderful time and made unforgettable memories. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Puerto Rico. It was truly a great experience!

A tad bit too long and seating too tight.

William_H, Jun 2026
6 hours a bit long. I think shorten by 1 or 1.5 hours would be perfect for most. Crew was great, water great but don’t need that much time. Lastly, reduce number of people by 5 or so. Seating is way too tight.

Far too crowded!

Allan_W, Jun 2026
WAAAAY too many people packed on to the boat. Done these around the world multiple times! First one ever to pack 60+ people on to the catamaran! Usually nor more than 15-20. Makes the experience a little less enjoyable. Arrived at the already crowed island and as we were there it got even far FAR FFAARRR more crowded on the beach with ALL the other tours pulling up! Too many tours! With too full of boats! Need to DRASTICALLY reduce the number of people and yours. Again, makes the experience a little less enjoyable. Other than that, staff was amazing, food and drinks were good! Just WWAAYYY too crowded. No reason to be sweating on one another!

Highly Recommend

All the crew members were great and attentive. Lunch was perfect and the drinks kept coming. Definitely recommend.

Fun day

Patricia_L, Jun 2026
Crew was great, food was great, boat fantastic and equipment for snorkeling was great. My only suggestion would be not to put as many people on the boat as seating was tight and couldn't have choice of seating.

We had an amazing fun...

Maddie_D, Jun 2026
We had an amazing fun time the service was amazing friendly and fun the food was great as well and I am so thankful I had lost my Apple Watch in the icacos location as we were leaving and I let them know and they tried everything in their power to help me and ended up finding my Apple Watch and bringing it to me I am forever thankful for that and just over all the amazing memories and experiences 💕💕💕

John_Y, Jun 2026
This experience was fantastic. Everything from the cleanliness of the boat to the delicious food and excellent crew was amazing. The beauty of the water and surrounding areas speaks for itself. Would absolutely do again!

Awesome trip, too many people, not enough fish

trish_f, Jun 2026
The crew was great and the boat was awesome. However there were 80 people on board. Also, once we got to icacos, I found out you can take a water taxi and sort of get away from the crowds. And, like most reefs, it was struggling :(

Beautiful day

Mildred_t, Jun 2026

East Island Excursions Experience

Syeda_A, Jun 2026
Me and my Boyfriend had an amazing experience we didn’t want it to end. We first went to Icacos island went swimming had drinks and bbq food and then Snorkeling . Everything was well organized. David was teaching us a lot about snorkeling since it was our first time and took us to the reefs. He did an amazing job . Cindy and Luis was great as well, all the staff took good care of us. Thank you guys for the beautiful experience . Will definitely come again.

The crew is very engaging...

Virginia_P, May 2026
The crew is very engaging and helpful. Boat was clean and food was very good. The piña coladas were amazing. I really liked how close the boat docked to the beach which was my concern as I’m not a good swimmer and the water only went up to above my waist. I felt safe and relaxed. The crew would go around and asked if we needed anything. The whole day was fabulous. The only thing I didnt enjoy much was the fact that I wasnt able to snorkel very well I guess my equipment wasn't working well for me and I didnt see coral reefs just fish. But it was still a nice experience. I do recommend this tour.

East island excursions is awesome!!

Anthony_H, May 2026
Great experience!! Staff was great Marthy really knows how to guide for snorkeling. Food was good and more than enough time to be on the boat.

Denise_F, May 2026

Cecillia_B, May 2026

More swim than snorkel

Mary_O, Mar 2026
The crew and lunch were great. The snorkeling was fine for a novice, but the area is limited for marine life. The description said we would snorkel 2 areas, but instead we snorkeled one hour at the island, then docked there for the next 4 hours to swim. I was hoping for more snorkeling. No explanation was given for why we weren't traveling to a second spot.

Girls trip

Lisa_K, Mar 2026
Lots of fun and the guys on the boat are very attentive and take care of everything!! The snorkeling is in deep water.

just book it!!! the best day on the ocean 🏝️🌺🛥️

alexis_m, Mar 2026
best day ever! the crew was amazing. Jose was our captain, and he never failed to make us laugh and check on us throughout the day. the crew, specifically Amanda, went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and that our hands always had a drink in them. they even brought drinks out into the water so we didn’t have to come back up! lunch was a yummy buffet of sandwiches, fruits and chips, and the drinks were light and yummy. activities were so fun and they showed us the best spots. would recommend this excursion to anyone! so worth the price for a full 5 hours. also recommend purchasing the transportation to and from the marina. they pick you up from your hotel/airbnb and you are with the group/know exactly where to go. much cheaper than ubers!!! overall would do this all over again if we could and we will be back!!!
