Exactly what we were hoping for! - We’re a family of 5 (including 2 teenagers and a preteen), and we wanted to do a snorkeling trip. We looked at the boat tours that include several people, and since there are 5 of us it was going to be a little cheaper to do this personal tour! We are interested in the fish and turtles, more than the beach. The regular itinerary is 30 minutes of snorkeling, an hour on the beach, a short stop to see turtles from the boat at another location, and then a final location passing through a sandbar that used to be an island. Jamil was our captain and he was fantastic. We chatted about how we were really all about the fish and turtles, and that my oldest daughter is interested in becoming a marine biologist, so instead of visiting the final stop and sandbar we were able to spend an hour snorkeling in the turtle area, and Jamil was calling directions from the boat when he saw the turtles emerge, so that we were able to find them and swim with them. My youngest didn’t want to be in the water the entire time at the last spot, so she was happy to go back to the boat and see the turtles emerge out of the water. Jamil chatted with her and gave her more info about turtles and the islands. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone. It’s a short 10 minute high speed transfer to the location from the marina in Fajardo each way. Most of your time is spent in the water or on the beach. If we had done a generic tour we would not have been able to swim with the turtles, which was a highlight of the trip. We also saw some amazing fish at the turtle area. Also included- sandwiches, chips, and a cooler full of waters, coke, sprite and beer, snorkel equipment, belts for folks that aren’t strong swimmers, noodles and a lily pad float. You can also control the music on board with your phone. There is no restroom, but that was not an issue. There’s one in the marina where you start and end your tour. If/when we come back to Puerto Rico I would honestly do this again, and probably opt for the full day instead of the half day because it was such an amazing experience. If you’re on the fence, just book it, you won’t regret it!

Great Tour - Here’s the updated version with that added in naturally: Derrick was our boat captain, and he was fantastic — friendly, polite, and very knowledgeable. There were four of us, my husband and I and our 12 year old boys and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe the entire time. The water was a bit choppy due to the wind, so we decided not to stay long at Icacos. We did try snorkeling, but because of the wind and waves, the conditions weren’t ideal. Instead, we anchored near the shore of Palomino Island, which turned out to be a great choice. The beach was beautiful. The food, drinks, and snacks were all very good, and the boat itself was clean and well kept, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this tour!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience with Encanto Boat Tours in Puerto Rico! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience with Encanto Boat Tours in Puerto Rico! We had the BEST time on our private boat tour and Carlos made the entire day unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, super friendly, and made everyone feel relaxed and safe from the moment we stepped on board. We never felt rushed, which made the whole experience feel truly special and personalized. The snorkeling/swimming spots were beautiful, the views along the coast were stunning, and Carlos shared fun facts and local insight that made the trip even more meaningful. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants his guests to have an incredible time. If you’re visiting Puerto Rico and want a laid-back, fun, and memorable adventure on the water, this is 100% the tour to book. Thank you for such an amazing day we’re already dreaming about coming back! 🌊☀️🐠

Perfect for a Bachelorette Weekend! - This was an amazing experience! I went to celebrate my sister's bachelorette trip, and it was perfect! We did the 4-hour 1/2-day experience. We stopped at two islands and spent a decent time at each. We were given food and beverages, and allowed to bring our own drinks on the boat. It came to a little over $100 per person (6 of us), and I think it was absolutely worth every penny! Our captain, Carlos, was amazing as well. No complaints at all.
