Review of a private Fajardo boat tour to Icacos and Palomino, with guided snorkeling, snacks, paddleboard, and room for six.
“I booked this excursion 2 days before going and everything went smoothly. Our Captain was great, and his assistant Francesca was very knowledgeable. I went with my kids and they absolutely loved every minute. My son loved how fast the boat went. They played music and provided plenty of drinks. The lunch was small Sandwiches and fruit, which my kids devoured. I would suggest if you have adults with bigger appetites, you should bring your own food and snacks. I will definitely be using this company again on my trip back to PR.”
