“Wonderful, we saw dolphins, which was mesmerising. However, it is not for sea sick people as we paddled for 3.5 hours on the sun, bring a cap and water. Some physical condition is expected. Germán was a great guide, thoughtful, helpful, kind and funny. We loved it.”

2.Fajardo Mini Boat Snorkel Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,053 reviews Top rated

Drive your own 13-foot, 40-horsepower mini boat from Fajardo through La Cordillera Cays with guides such as Kevin, José, Erick, and Nani. Expect a safety briefing, reef snorkeling, a stop at Icacos or Palominitos, snacks, drinks, and a bumpy ride that rewards confident drivers.

“I love the whole experience. It was the first time both my fiance and I drove a speed boat. This excursion is definitely not for those who had recent back or knee surgery as the ride can get bumpy if you catch a wave. Besides that it's freaking amazing. Definitely something we will do again”

“Davide did a great job as guide for our kayak tour. He explained things very well, was funny and motivating (same with the other staff). We saw turtles and dolphins. It was a great adventure, also for our children (8 & 12). We also felt very safe in every moment. The way back was the hardest part, as we had become tired. An unforgettable experience. Two remarks: In contrast to the information on this page, we were provided full snorkeling equipment. Davide made tons of photos and videos. Getting access to them cost additional 15 €.”
