Robert and his team were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! They were kind and professional the entire time. They made our experience joyful and memorable!!! I would highly recommend them 100% and look forward to booing with this crew again!

This was our third visit to Icacos, and I can honestly say it was our absolute favorite!
Everything about this excursion was outstanding. The catamaran was beautiful, spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. We loved that the marina was literally across the street from our Airbnb, making it such an easy and stress-free start to the day.
But what truly made this trip special was the crew. Every single person from the captain to the entire staff was PHENOMENAL. They were welcoming, attentive, fun, and created an atmosphere where everyone felt like they were part of the experience. Their energy was contagious, and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed what they were doing.
The music was fantastic and kept the vibe going all day. Between the great playlist, the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and generously poured drinks, the entire day felt like one big celebration. Everyone onboard seemed relaxed, happy, and having an amazing time.
We've been to Icacos before, so for us to say this was our favorite trip really says something. It wasn't just because of the destination, it was because of the people. The crew made all the difference.
If you're looking for an unforgettable day on the water, don't hesitate to book this excursion. We left with incredible memories and can't wait to do it again on our next trip to Puerto Rico!

This was the best experience we had while in Puerto Rico. The guys on the boat were all very welcoming, kind, and helpful. They showed us a great time. They always made sure we had a drink in our hand (piña colada, water, coke, etc.). The two spots they took us to were perfect and so so beautiful. When we snorkeled we saw tons of fish and even some jellyfish (they didn’t sting). Then we had lunch and it was perfect. Everything was very organized and clean. You have to do this!

This catermeran was so fun. The host, to the captain were very attentive and took us to 2 different areas 1 for about 3 hours to the private island to hang out swim, take pictures. They also served us drinks on the water. The captains punch was soooo good! The we went further out for those who wanted to snorkel. My husband and daughter enjoyed it a lot. We had lunch at some point it was good! The day was 1 of our best days here in Puerto Rico. We will for sure book again!

My husband and I had a great time with our family! The hosts were amazing, specifically Adriane, Antonio, and our bartender Matthew.

Captain Robert and his crew were amazing. The entire experience was fantastic. They are all super fun and make sure you are having fun the entire time. The Icacos Island is breath taking. The water is crystal blue. Lunch is provided and was good. The last part of the trip they had a super fruit platter out that was custom made by a member of the crew. The best part was the water floating bar tending service while we were all in the water enjoying the fun. The snorkeling was also incredible. They make sure that the fish surround the group. Music was also bumping the entire time to keep the experience vibrant. The boat was super clean and comfortable. I traveled with my wife and kids and they had a blast. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Highly recommend this excursion it was definitely worth the money! My fiancé and I had a blast. The water was crystal clear, the food/drinks were great, and the tour guides were so funny and nice.
Just a heads up that it’s a big group (close to 50 people). Also, pro-tip: don’t copy-paste the address into your maps or you might get lost. Use the direct "get directions" button instead

Our trip to Icacos Island with Castillo Tours was one of the highlights of our Puerto Rico vacation. The crew was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The catamaran ride was smooth and fun, the water at Icacos was crystal clear, and the snorkeling was unforgettable. The food, drinks, and overall hospitality exceeded our expectations. The crew made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and included throughout the entire trip. If you're visiting Puerto Rico and looking for a memorable day on the water, I highly recommend this tour. We would absolutely do it again! 🌴☀️⛵
